Material scrap factor/shrinkage

The APS Planner calculates planned order starting quantities to compensate for any scrap/shrinkage that results from jobs. For example, if you need 100 widgets, and the job that produces the widgets creates 10% scrap/shrinkage, the APS Planner increases the starting quantity by 10%, to 110, so that the final quantity will exactly equal the required quantity. In cases where jobs are split into serarate demand and supply orders, the supply portion will be adjusted down by the shrink amount.
