Scrap Reporting in Epicor ERP

Hi all,

How scrap item are handled in Epicor ERP 10.

Are you using MES to clock in/out of jobs? If so, scrap is entered in MES - but there is no UOM field for scrap, so if you create scrap in multi UOMs, then you’ll need to add a UD field for UOM. The assumed scrap (and therefore the UOM) is for the part being produced, not of the part(s) being consumed.

No we are not using MES.
Whether it can be done in Non conformance in quality assurance module?

Not sure, we don’t do scrap reporting in the QA, although we use NC to create RMAs

It can be done in Time and Expense Entry.

Yes, you can nonconform inventory and/or material receipts and then scrap it via DMR Processing.

You can auto-trigger inspections of receipts via Suppler, Part Class or individual Part or PO settings, which will let you accept/reject items and maintain an inspection queue. Non-conforming items sitting in inventory requires you to manually create a nonconformance in Nonconformance Entry. If you need to automatically periodically inspect your inventory, maybe look into cycle counting?
