Scrap Adder in BOM Management

Get Help & Support
1

Dear Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

We currently use the scrap adder functionality to account for potential spillage of small SMT parts. Parts are picked based on the total required quantity plus the scrap adder. However, there are occasions where we need to adjust the scrap adder based on the actual quantities used during production.

Currently, once the parts are picked, the related line becomes grayed out in BOM Management. As a result, we have to follow a multi-step process to make adjustments:

  1. Unpick the parts in the Pick Part window
  2. update the pick part window to reflect the changes
  3. Adjust the scrap adder in BOM Management
  4. Update the BOM Management window to reflect the changes
  5. Re-update the Pick Part window to reflect the revised quantities
  6. Pick the parts again
  7. Perform a final update in Pick Parts window

This process is quite time-consuming. Could you please advise if there is a more streamlined method for handling this process?
Additionally, is it possible to enable editing of the scrap adder in BOM Management even after the parts have been picked? Allowing this flexibility would significantly enhance efficiency and ease of use when managing production changes.

Thank you as always for your continued support. I look forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Mahtab

That is the proper process. However, there is a section in the Workorder new version Material screen that allows you to request more parts.

You can request more parts and then specify that it is due to scrap in the pop up screen:

Let me know if that works for you, sorry for the delayed reply!

Hello Support team,
Thank you for your response—much appreciated.

We are currently using the feature as described; however, we’ve encountered a challenge with handling leftover quantities from the scrap adder. Occasionally, some of these scrap parts remain unused, and we’d like to deduct them from the order and return them to stock.

At the moment, we’re managing this manually by adjusting the quantities for each part, which is quite time-consuming.

Is there any functionality in Cetec, either existing or planned, that would allow this process to be handled more efficiently?
Looking forward to your guidance.

Regards,
Mahtab
