      <Paragraph>In manufacturing
		processes it is often necessary to plan the production for more of a product
		than you actually need, because some of the product may be outside
		specification. Some of the components can also break or be unsuitable for
		production. This effect can be modeled by means of <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Scrap_ti" role="glossary">scrap</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#Yield_ti" role="glossary">yield</Link>.</Paragraph>

         <ListIntro>The scrap and the yield are taken into account in the
		  following situations:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Exploding bills of
		  material.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Cost
		  accounting.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Estimating material
		  requirements and hours for production orders.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Reporting operations and
		  orders completed.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>There are two levels on which scrap and yield can be
		  applied:</ListIntro>
         <ListItemHead>BOM-line level</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>On BOM-line level, scrap may be defined as a fixed quantity or
		  a percentage.</ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Operation level</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>On the operational level, scrap can be defined as a fixed
		  quantity, and yield can be defined as a percentage. The fixed scrap quantity is
		  seen as a loss during input of the process. Yield defined on the operation
		  level means that only a percentage of the gross input will result in output
		  after the operation is finished. The scrap quantity and yield percentage on the
		  operation level influence planned materials and hours.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <Paragraph>Subcontracting operations can also have scrap and yield, in
		  that case subcontracting costs are calculated based on the quantity of the
		  planned output of an operation.</Paragraph>
