Scrap multiple Product units (LCM)
When manufacturing Product units (LCM) with complex structures (type = K or KA), the operator and planner need to be able to handle parts (type =P, C, K) that are broken and assess if they can be recovered. The scrap and release function is used to handle those situations.
Procedures:
A. Scrap and/or release Product units (LCM) of a unit production
B. Scrap and/or release Product units (LCM) of a batch production - Includes splitting of Product unit (LCM) quantity
C. Scrap and/or release multiple Product units (LCM) of a unit or a batch production manually - Includes splitting of Product unit (LCM) quantity
