  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD314 - The scrap quantity was adjusted proportionally ?

    The SAP error message MD314 ("The scrap quantity was adjusted proportionally") typically occurs in the context of production planning and inventory management. This message indicates that the system has adjusted the scrap quantity based on the proportionality of the production order or the material's characteristics.

    Cause:

    1. Scrap Configuration: The scrap percentage defined in the material master or production order may not align with the actual production process, leading to a proportional adjustment.
    2. Production Order Settings: The production order may have specific settings that dictate how scrap is handled, which can lead to adjustments if the actual output deviates from the planned output.
    3. Material Master Data: The settings in the material master, such as the planned scrap percentage, may not be correctly configured.
    4. Batch Management: If batch management is enabled, the system may adjust scrap quantities based on batch characteristics or requirements.

    Solution:

    1. Review Material Master Data: Check the material master for the scrap percentage settings. Ensure that the planned scrap percentage is appropriate for the production process.
    2. Check Production Order Settings: Review the production order settings to ensure they are correctly configured for scrap handling. Adjust the settings if necessary.
    3. Adjust Scrap Percentage: If the scrap percentage is too high or low, adjust it in the material master or production order to reflect the actual production conditions.
    4. Analyze Production Process: Evaluate the production process to identify any discrepancies that may lead to excessive scrap. Implement process improvements if necessary.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling scrap in your version of SAP.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MD04 (Stock/Requirements List) or CO02 (Change Production Order) to analyze and adjust relevant data.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to scrap handling in your version of SAP.
    • User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is implemented in your SAP system, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect scrap handling.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in production planning and inventory management.
