Question:

What is the SAP flow for REWORK activity in PP-PI.

Sample Scenerio:
1. Initial Process Order qty: 10pc
2. Confirmed QTY.: 9 PCS.
3. Rejection qty .: 1 pc.
4. Now that one pc. is to be reworked in operation no.0020.

How is it possible to understand later that, it is in this particular process order, so much of rework is carried out, and thats the reason the process cost has increased.

Rework during production depends on the client's decision. Like some companies want a separate process order to process this rejected quantity and some clients want to use the same process order, some even want to identify this rejected by assigning a new batch number.

But in some company, they do rework rarely but not as frequently as you do.

What they do is by inserting the new operation/phase after the actual operation/phase, and the operation quantity/base
quantity, queue times, etc  will be according to the users decision. in u r example down 1 pc will be the operation/phase quantity.

and one more thing is that remember to PCNF the 9 pc if you want to identify the 1 pc with the new batch.

Additional comments::

You also need to remember the product costing aspect.

The primary costs of material should not be repeated while doing the rework. so, the generally accepted trend is that you create a separate order type for it and a common recipe with a rework operation and the materials you can assign while creating the process order.

Doing it in the same process order will have a problem of treacability of cost.
