what is the difference between component yield and scrap

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In the context of manufacturing, component yield and scrap are two different concepts. Component yield refers to the amount of usable product that is produced after a manufacturing process. It is a measure of the efficiency of the manufacturing process and is usually expressed as a percentage. A higher yield means that more usable product is produced and less is wasted. On the other hand, scrap refers to the waste or unusable material that is produced as a result of the manufacturing process. This could be due to various reasons such as defects, inefficiencies in the process, or simply the nature of the process itself. In financial terms, scrap is usually accounted for separately and may hit a separate scrap account. In the context of NetSuite's Advanced Manufacturing, it appears that you can only post scrap of the completed assembly, not of individual components. There is a field on work orders called

scrapquantity

which represents the scrap quantity. However, it may not be directly searchable in filters or columns of a search. Instead, you may have to use the applying transaction join to get to the related work order completion, where one of the related rows represents the scrap quantity and will have the

Is Scrap

column set to true. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
