Yield Field

The yield is the percentage of the component that survives the manufacturing process. A yield factor of 0.90 means that only 90% of the usage quantity of the component on a bill actually survives to be incorporated into the finished assembly.

To compensate for the expected gain or loss, any function that explodes a bill of material increases or decreases the material requirements for the component, based on the yield.


For example, when Master Scheduling/MRP plans a component with a usage quantity of 10 units per assembly and a component yield of 50% (or 0.5), the resulting component requirements increase to 20 units per assembly.

The default is 1, indicating 100% yield (no loss or gain).
