How To Do Process Scrap Recycling

In my scenario after confirmation, I am getting some process scraps which basic unit of measure is in nos.  Now my company want to convert this process scrap (Basic unit of measure) from nos to tons, since this is process scrap recycled. How to map this in system.

There are two options -

1) Create a different material code by the name of "scrap", UOM ton. After confirmation, in goods movement screen, receive this scrap by 531 movement by calculating equivalent scrap in tons. This way, any material scraped in EA can be converted to single scrap code (generally this is the case in steel industry). Hence it is easy for further processing (like scrap sale).  Here scrap would be received during each confirmation.

2) Create a different material code by the name of "scrap", UOM ton. Carry out production confirmation as usual. From COOIS, obtain total scrap quantity and calculate equivalent scrap in tons. Receive this scrap by MB1C-531 movt.

3) Maintain alternative unit of original material in "material master". e.g. 1 Ton = 10 EA. In this case, the material will be scraped as usual in EA. You can receive the scrap in ton by MB1C-531 movt.  Here scrap can be received as and when required, but there are chances that an OK material can also be used as scrap , as the code is same. You can address it by maintaining a separate storage location.

or

Create material for scrap (MM01 - Dummy material) with base unit KG, add it in BOM with negative values & standard quantity. At time of confirmation you can adjust scrap quantity at actual. Consider it as by-product (movement type 531).

Steps : 

1. Create material for scrap (MM01 - Dummy material) with base unit KG.

2. In BOM give qty as (-) ex:10-

3. While creating the order do nothing extra other than normal order creation and release.

4. Do the GI to the order in MB1A, giving 261 mov. type and click on To Order, one small window will pop up. Here you give the order no. and also very important is after giving order no. here infront of this there are 2-3 small check boxes are there, I don’t remember how many exactly but at last check box put 1 and click on adopt details. Now it will display all the goods to be issued with 261 and with sign - and co product with 531, + sign. here post it. co product stock get updated.

5. If you're doing GI through confirmation, it will be automatically posted as other goods issued to the order. After clicking push button goods movement in the confirmation screen. This is controlled by confirmation parameters.

Also:

Create an Alternative UOM as tons and in Plant data/storage loc view in Material master maintain Unit of issue as tons.

So that while using this material in BOM, You can maintain the UOM as tons,

and while issuing to production order, system will issue with UOM as tons.
