Sometimes, products in a company’s warehouse stock might be found to be damaged or defective, past the point of being reparable. If it is not possible to repair the product or return it to a vendor, it can be scrapped. SecureIO Inventory allows users to scrap inventory, designating goods or materials that are no longer usable or sellable for disposal (or recycling).
Scrapping inventory in a database helps stock counts remain accurate by removing scrapped products from physical inventory and placing it in a virtual scrap location (Inventory adjustment).
Note
Virtual locations in SecureIO are not real, physical spaces in a warehouse. Rather, they are designated locations in a database that provide tracking of items that shouldn’t be counted in a physical inventory.
For more information about virtual locations, see the documentation about the different types of location types.
Scrap from stock
To create a new scrap order (SP) for an in-stock product, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Operations ‣ Scrap, and click New. This opens a new SP form.
Click the drop-down menu in the Product field and select the product that should be
scrapped from inventory. In the Quantity field, change the value to the quantity of the
product that should be scrapped. By default, this value is set to 0.00. If the product is tracked
by lot or serial number, specify the tracking number in the Lot/Serial Numbers field.
The Source Location defaults to the location where the product is currently stored. The
Scrap Location defaults to the designated scrap location (Inventory
adjustment). Either of these locations can be changed by selecting a different location from their
respective drop-down menus.
Note
The location fields only display when Storage Locations is enabled in Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings.
The Company field displays the company whose warehouse this product belongs to. If a replenishment rule is set up for the product being scrapped, and if the product should be replenished, tick the checkbox for Should Replenish.
Once ready, click Confirm to complete the new SP.
Tip
To view the all-time total quantities of scrapped items, navigate to Inventory app ‣ Reporting ‣ Moves History. This report is only available to users with admin access.
On the Moves History page, click in the Search field, then select Filters ‣ Scrapped.
A list of all scrapped products, and their quantities, is displayed.
Scrap from an existing operation
Scrap orders (SPs) can also be created from existing operations, such as receipts, delivery orders, and internal transfers before they are entered into or removed from stock for an operation.
To scrap a product during an operation, navigate to the Inventory app. From the Inventory Overview, click the # To Process button on an operation’s task card (for example, click 5 to Receive on the Receipts card).
Then, select an operation to process from the resulting list of existing orders. Doing so opens that operation’s form.
Click the (cog) icon, and select Scrap from the resulting drop-down menu. This opens a Scrap Products pop-up window.
From this pop-up window, click the drop-down menu in the Product field and select the product from the operation that should be scrapped. Adjust the value in the Quantity field. If the Product selected is tracked using a lot or serial number, a Lot/Serial field appears. Specify the tracking number in that field. The Source Location and Scrap Location can be changed if needed.
Note
The location fields only display when Storage Locations is enabled in Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings.
If a replenishment rule is set up for the product being scrapped and the product should be replenished, tick the checkbox for Should Replenish.
Once ready, click Confirm.
A Scraps smart button appears at the top of the operation form. Click this smart button to view the details of all scrap orders created from this specific operation.
Scrap from a lot or serial number
Scrap orders (SPs) can also be created from lots or serial numbers.
To scrap a product with a lot or serial number, open Inventory app ‣ Products ‣ Lots/Serial Numbers. Open a lot or serial number from the list. On the Lot/Serial Number form, click the (cog) icon, then select Scrap. This opens a form to scrap the product.
In the form, verify that the correct Product is selected. Specify the Quantity of products that should be scrapped. Verify that the Lot/Serial Numbers value is correct. Specify a Scrap Reason. The Source Location defaults to the location where the product is currently stored. The Scrap Location defaults to the designated scrap location (Inventory adjustment). Either of these locations can be changed by selecting a different location from their respective drop-down menus.
Note
The location fields only display when Storage Locations is enabled in Inventory app ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings.
If a replenishment rule is set up for the product being scrapped, and if the product should be replenished, select the Should Replenish check box.
Once ready, click Confirm.
After the scrap is created, follow the breadcrumbs back to the Lot/Serial Number form. A Scraps smart button appears at the top of the Lot/Serial Number form.
Revert a scrap
Revert a scrap from the Moves History report.
Note
This report is only available to users with admin access.
Open Inventory app ‣ Reporting ‣ Moves History.
Select the check box next to the scrap operation to revert. Click the Actions menu, then select Revert.
