• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MILL123 - Scrap limit is set to 0% ?

  The SAP error message MILL123: Scrap limit is set to 0% typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with the production of materials in a manufacturing environment. This error indicates that the scrap limit for a particular material or production order has been set to zero, which means that the system does not allow for any scrap during the production process.
  Cause:
  
  Scrap Limit Configuration: The scrap limit for the material or production order is configured to 0%. This means that the system expects that there will be no scrap generated during the production process.
  Production Order Settings: The production order may have been created with a scrap limit of 0%, which can happen if the settings were not properly defined during the order creation.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may have been set up incorrectly, leading to a scrap limit of 0%.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Adjust Scrap Limit:
  
  Navigate to the material master data (Transaction Code: MM02) and check the relevant views (e.g., MRP, Work Scheduling).
  Update the scrap limit to a value greater than 0% if it is appropriate for the production process.
  
  
  
  Modify Production Order:
  
  If the error occurs during the processing of a production order, you can modify the order settings (Transaction Code: CO02) to allow for a scrap percentage.
  Ensure that the production order is set up to accommodate expected scrap based on historical data or industry standards.
  
  
  
  Review Production Process:
  
  Analyze the production process to determine if a scrap limit of 0% is realistic. If scrap is a normal part of the process, adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Production Planning Team:
  
  Collaborate with the production planning or engineering team to understand the acceptable levels of scrap for the specific material or production process.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Scrap in Manufacturing: Scrap refers to materials that are discarded during the manufacturing process due to defects, excess, or other reasons. It is common to have a certain percentage of scrap in production, and this should be accounted for in planning.
  Material Master Data: The material master contains all the information about a material that is required to manage it in the system. Proper configuration is crucial for effective production planning.
  Production Order Management: Understanding how to manage production orders, including setting parameters like scrap limits, is essential for efficient manufacturing operations.
  
  By addressing the scrap limit configuration and ensuring it aligns with the production realities, you can resolve the MILL123 error and proceed with your production activities.
