MFG/PRO 9.0 User Guide Volume 3: Manufacturing - QAD.com

Example Ten phantoms are in stock. If you complete a partial receipt
backflush for 10 items and the phantom and its components have a
quantity per of 1, the phantom quantity to issue is 10. Otherwise, the
phantom and its components are calculated proportionally, each with a
quantity to issue of 5.
Since phantoms are not defined as phantoms in the work order bill, the
Phantoms First option uses the current product structure to identify
phantom items.
Managing Scrap
Scrap refers to unusable items. In the manufacturing process, there can be
two kinds of scrap:
• Components issued to the work order.
• Items built by the work order that are unusable.
Component Loss
When additional components are required for a work order because items
were lost or unusable, the replacement components should be issued to
the work order. This results in an unfavorable material usage variance for
the order.
