Hi Gurus

What will happen if negative quantity for a few components is maintained in the Production order components list?

Thanks in advance

System will consider it as a by-product.

Hello

As a by-product, system proposes a goods receipt with movement type 531 for this material during the backflush.

This is generally used for the a material that is generated as a waste or scrap.

Best regards

Hello Caetano,

I was looking more for this option only. I wanted to generate a few components as scrap and was not sure if adding negative sign would solve the reqmt

But can you also confirm if I need to do anything else for this movement to happen successfully.

Thanks for your input

Dear Pradeep,

By product is the product which will be produced while production process. 

Setting required in BOM: Maintain BOM quantity with negative quantity . The system will automatically pick this as by-product. Movement type 531 will be used to post the by-product during confirmation of production/ process order. GRN will be done for this by-product. Settlement of cost will be done to the header of material.

Hope it clarifies your doubt. Thank you!!

Hi Pradeep

When you maintained 'Negative' for components in Production Order, then the system will consider as a 'BY-PRODUCT'.

Hello Pradeep,

If you maintained the Qty for components, In these case system consider as By Product.

Negative qty in Bom maintained for two purpose By product and Co product ( For CO Product you have to maintained in BOM item as CO product)

For more information of By Product and co product refer my below document

I hope this information helpful to you
