• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61241 - The scrap quantity was adjusted proportionally ?

  The SAP error message 61241, "The scrap quantity was adjusted proportionally," typically occurs in the context of production orders or material movements when there is a discrepancy between the planned and actual scrap quantities. This message indicates that the system has automatically adjusted the scrap quantity based on the actual quantities processed.
  Cause:
  
  Discrepancy in Scrap Quantities: The error usually arises when the actual scrap quantity exceeds the planned scrap quantity defined in the production order or material master.
  Settings in Production Order: The production order may have specific settings that dictate how scrap is handled, and if the actual scrap exceeds these settings, the system will adjust it proportionally.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the production planning or material management settings that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Production Order: Check the production order for the planned scrap quantity. Ensure that it aligns with the expected scrap based on the production process.
  Adjust Scrap Settings: If the actual scrap is consistently higher than planned, consider adjusting the planned scrap quantity in the production order or the material master data.
  Analyze Production Process: Investigate the production process to identify any inefficiencies or issues that may be causing excessive scrap. This could involve reviewing machine settings, operator training, or raw material quality.
  Consult Configuration: If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to scrap handling in the system. This may involve checking the configuration in the Production Planning (PP) module.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to enter scrap quantities correctly and understand the implications of their entries.
