In manufacturing companies, especially those working with natural goods like wood and leather, it is possible for scrap rates to exceed 100%.
When dealing with natural materials, the quality and consistency can vary significantly. For example, in the wood or furniture industry, high-quality products often require perfect grain or texture, which means that large portions of the raw material may be discarded if they don't meet the stringent quality standards. This can lead to very high scrap percentages. In some cases, like with high-quality piano makers, the scrap rate in the veneer department can reach up to 350%
Similarly, in the leather industry, imperfections in the hide can result in significant waste. High-quality leather goods require flawless pieces, and any defects such as scars, holes, or uneven texture can lead to large amounts of scrap. This is particularly true for luxury items where the aesthetic and tactile qualities are paramount.
Moreover, the process of cutting and shaping these materials can also contribute to high scrap rates. Natural materials often come in irregular shapes and sizes, making it challenging to optimize the use of each piece. This can result in a higher proportion of the material being discarded as scrap.
BC only allows 100% scrap. the examples listed above cannot be illustrated with this Restriction. I cannot think of a reason that this restriction should stay in die code

Thank you for this suggestion! Currently this is not on our roadmap. We are tracking this idea and if it gathers more votes and comments we will consider it in the future. Best regards, Business Central Team
