Documentation
Definition
States whether material is to flow between activities for which you have defined a predecessor/successor relationship. That is, whether the material that has been processed in the first activity is also processed in the next activity.
Use
You use this indicator to control how the APO calculates scrap from the connected activities, and how it calculates the input-quantity for the activities.
- If you set the indicator, the system cumulates the scrap from the activities.
Example:
An operation consists of two successive processing activities. There is 20% scrap from the first activity and 10% from the second. The indicator is set, which means that the material is passed on from the first activity to the second.
If the second activity is to produce a yield of 90 pieces, it needs an input quantity of 100 pieces (10% scrap from 100 pieces is 10 pieces). For the first activity to provide a yield of 100 pieces to the second activity, it needs an input quantity of 125 pieces (20% scrap from 125 pieces is 25 pieces).
- If you do not set the indicator, the system calculates the scrap and input quantities for each activity individually.
Example:
Two successive processing activities are assigned to a grouping activity. There is 20% scrap from the first activity, and 10% scrap from the second. The indicator is not set, so the material is not passed on from the first activity to the second.
If the first activity is to produce a yield of 100 pieces, 125 pieces must be processed there. For the second activity to produce a yield of 100 pieces, 112 pieces must be processed there.
Dependencies
Only use the material flow indicator if you are using the process structure for shop floor production.
