Scrap

Within a manufacturing order, you can create a Scrap document linked to the order.

When to use​

Use Scrap if you need to record scrap of materials or products due to defects and it is important to keep the link to the manufacturing order.

How to create a Scrap from a manufacturing order​

In the manufacturing order card there may be an action Scrap.

Specifics:

  • the action is available if a Scrap type is specified for the manufacturing order type;
  • the created document automatically contains the manufacturing order;
  • the storage location is taken from the order’s material location.

Effect on inventory and cost​

A Scrap is a full Inventory scrap document: when it is completed, it writes the scrapped items off the storage location through the inventory ledger. When the scrap is linked to a manufacturing order, its cost is also added to that order's cost, so the scrapped value is reflected in the cost of the produced goods.

Where to see linked Scraps​

The manufacturing order card shows a block of linked Scraps. From it you can open the document for viewing and editing.

Recommendations​

  • create the Scrap before marking the order as Done so actual data is consistent;
  • make sure the correct material location is selected.
