Apply Shrink Factor

This field applies to MRP and APS.

Select the field to apply the shrink factor as set up on the Items form. Otherwise, clear the field.

The shrink factor is a percentage factor that compensates for that expected loss prior to receipt to stockroom. The system compensates for the shrinkage by increasing the planned order quantity. The system then decreases the outstanding quantity for the planned order (viewable in the Outstanding Receipt field on the Planning Detail form) by the same amount.
