• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPE8454 - Invalid scrap factor of 100% found ?

  The SAP error message PPE8454, which states "Invalid scrap factor of 100% found," typically occurs in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with production orders or planning scenarios in SAP's Production Planning (PP) module. This error indicates that a scrap factor of 100% has been set for a material or operation, which is not valid because it implies that all produced items are scrapped, leaving no usable product.
  Cause:
  
  Scrap Factor Configuration: The scrap factor for a material or operation has been incorrectly set to 100%. This means that the system expects that all produced items will be scrapped, which is not a realistic scenario.
  Routing or BOM Issues: The routing or Bill of Materials (BOM) associated with the production order may have been incorrectly configured, leading to an unrealistic scrap factor.
  Master Data Errors: There may be errors in the master data for the material, such as incorrect settings in the material master or production version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Scrap Factor: Check the scrap factor settings in the material master or routing. Ensure that the scrap factor is set to a realistic percentage (less than 100%).
  
  Navigate to the material master (transaction code MM02) and check the relevant views for the scrap factor.
  For routing, use transaction code CA03 to check the operation details and scrap factor.
  
  
  
  Adjust Routing/BOM: If the scrap factor is defined in the routing or BOM, adjust it to a more appropriate value. 
  
  If you find that the scrap factor is set to 100% in the routing, change it to a lower percentage that reflects actual production conditions.
  
  
  
  Check Production Orders: If the error occurs during the creation of a production order, review the order details to ensure that the correct routing and BOM are being used.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the appropriate scrap factor, consult your organization's production planning documentation or guidelines.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the production order creation or planning process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
