@debpeters Scrap Factor % on the Routing Line is defined as scrap in relation to an operation. BC has a scrap factor % field in the routing that can be used to define if an operation generates scrap. This will increase the required quantities for all the components that are used in the operation and all previous operations. It will also increase the capacity need for the operation and all previous operations. If you use this then linking the components to the operations using the routing link codes are important (otherwise all your components will have increased quantities).

When the production order is created the value of the Scrap Factor % field from the routing line is transferred to the Scrap Factor % field of the production order routing and the capacity need for the operation is increased accordingly. The related components quantities are also increased accordingly. A great example of why to use this is operations that have a certain
expected failure rate.

Now Fixed Scrap Quantity on the Routing Line Scrap is related to an operation that has defined fixed scrap quantity. Dynamics NAV has a fixed scrap quantity field in the routing; it has the same effect as the scrap factor % but with the difference that it is specified in an absolute quantity instead of a percentage.

You set this up in the Fixed Scrap Quantity field on the routing. When the production order is created the value of the Fixed Scrap Quantity field from the routing line is transferred to the Fixed Scrap Quantity field of the production order routing and the capacity need for the operation is increased accordingly. The related components quantities are also increased accordingly. This could, for example, be used for operations on a machine that needs to be setup and tested on a few units before starting the run. Another common example is if you are doing some destructive testing on a certain quantity as part of the operation.

I hope this helps. Now one thing to note, if you intention is to solely scrap at the component level, then setting the Scrap % on the BOM is the best approach.

Thanks,
