• Key Concepts: 
  Share of scrap is a term used in SAP Quality Management (QM) to refer to the percentage of defective products in a production batch. It is calculated by dividing the number of defective products by the total number of products in the batch. This percentage is then used to determine the quality of the batch and whether it meets the required standards.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP QM, share of scrap can be calculated by entering the number of defective products and the total number of products in a batch into the system. The system will then calculate the share of scrap and display it as a percentage. This percentage can then be used to determine whether or not the batch meets quality standards.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all defective products are accounted for when calculating share of scrap. If any defective products are not included, then the share of scrap will be inaccurate and may lead to incorrect decisions being made about the quality of a batch.
  
  Related Information: 
  Share of scrap is closely related to other quality metrics such as yield, defect rate, and rework rate. These metrics can be used together to gain a better understanding of the quality of a production batch.
