Process a scrap list
Write off items that have reached end of life and remove them from inventory.
Prerequisites: The items to write off are in stock at a storage device, a machine, or a tool.
Required permission: Inventory → Scrap Lists — User or above. Admins can validate any scrap list; Managers and Users only the scrap lists they created.
Create a scrap list
Section titled “Create a scrap list”- In the sidebar, click Inventory → Scrap Lists → + Create.
- Select the Location Type (Storage Device, Machine, or Tool) and the Location Name the items are leaving.
- Click ⊕ to add scrap lines. For each line, select the Item, the location it is currently at, and the Quantity to write off.
- Click Mark as Todo. The system checks availability at each location: if every line is covered, the list moves to Ready; if a line exceeds what’s on hand, the list moves to Waiting. Correct the line, then click Check Availability.
Validate
Section titled “Validate”- Physically retrieve the items from their locations and confirm they are present.
- From Ready, click Validate. The quantities are permanently removed from on-hand stock and their cost is written off. Each serialized piece’s condition is set to Scrapped and its cost to zero.
- Scrap records are permanent and cannot be reversed. Ensure items are genuinely end-of-life before validating.
- A scrap list takes any item in stock at its location, whatever its condition. For scrap is a stock rule condition, not a piece’s condition: it marks a storage location for items awaiting write-off, and the Inventory Scheduler drafts a scrap list when that location reaches its threshold. See Stock Rules Reference.
- You don’t set a serialized piece’s condition before scrapping it. After a piece is registered, only validated documents and crossed service thresholds change its condition, and validating a scrap list is what sets Scrapped. See Track tool condition.
