Scrap

Where to find it​

Open “Inventory” → “Operations” → “Scraps”.

Purpose​

Scrap is used to record stock decreases for reasons not related to sales:

  • damage;
  • losses;
  • defects;
  • expiry;
  • internal consumption.

The reason for the write-off is represented by the type of the document (a directory of scrap types — for example, "Damage", "Loss", "Expiry") rather than by a per-line field. Scrap types are configured in Inventory → Configuration → Settings; each type has its own numerator (numbering rule) and a default location.

Scrap list

The scrap document moves through the statuses Draft → Done, with Canceled as an alternative terminal state.

Scrap card​

In the header you fill in:

  • Type — required; classifies the write-off reason and defines the numbering;
  • Date, Number;
  • Location — required; where the goods are written off from;
  • Note.

Lines contain the item, its UoM, barcode/ID/reference and the quantity to write off.

Action buttons:

  • Mark as Done — confirms the write-off (shown in Draft);
  • Cancel — moves the document to Canceled;
  • Copy — creates a new draft scrap with the same header and lines;
  • Print — prints the document using a configurable template (templates can be assigned per scrap type);
  • Labels — prints item labels.

Like other Inventory documents, the card has Search (product search by category with stock quantities and quick entry, plus a barcode input field), History and Comments tabs.

Typical scenario​

  1. Create a scrap document.
  2. Select the Type (this is what classifies the write-off reason).
  3. Specify the location.
  4. Fill lines: item and quantity. If lots are enabled for a product, also specify the lot per line — the Lots tab shows the per-lot breakdown, and lot barcodes can be scanned.
  5. Move the document to Done.

Effect on stock and cost​

When the document is moved to Done:

  • an outbound entry is written to the inventory ledger — the on-hand quantity at the location decreases;
  • an outbound entry is written to the cost ledger — the write-off amount is calculated automatically by the item's costing method (FIFO/average/planned).

Relationship with other modules​

Scrap can be created based on other documents:

  • from a receipt — the Scrap action on a completed receipt opens a new scrap pre-filled with the receipt's location and items (useful for writing off goods damaged in transit);
  • from a production order, if the corresponding scenario is enabled.
