Use this workflow to reduce inventory because material has been scrapped outside a work order scrap workflow.
When to use this workflow
Use Scrap when on-hand inventory needs to be reduced as scrap.
If scrap happened during a work order, use the manufacturing scrap workflow connected to that work order so WIP and traceability stay correct.
Before you start
Confirm:
- The part and lot are correct.
- The scrap quantity is known.
- The scrap quantity does not exceed the current quantity.
- The reason explains why the material is being scrapped.
Steps
- Go to
Dashboard > Inventory > Adjustments. - Set
Adjustment TypetoScrap. - Enter or select the
Part Number. - Select the correct lot if the part is lot tracked.
- Review the current quantity.
- Enter
Scrap Quantity. - Review the calculated
New Quantity. - Enter a clear
Reason. - Select
Submit Adjustment.
Bulk entry
For multiple scrap adjustments, select Bulk Mode.
Enter each row with part number, lot when required, current quantity, scrap quantity, and reason. PAX calculates the new quantity for each row.
What happens behind the scenes
PAX subtracts the scrap quantity from the selected inventory lot or no-lot record.
PAX inserts an inventory adjustment record with adjustment type Scrap. Inventory adjustment posting automation handles the accounting impact of the inventory decrease.
Troubleshooting
Scrap quantity is rejected
Likely cause: Scrap quantity is zero, negative, or greater than the current quantity.
Safe fix: Recheck the count and enter a positive quantity that does not exceed current stock.
Contact support if: PAX shows an incorrect current quantity.
Scrap belongs to a work order
Likely cause: The material was consumed or scrapped during production.
Safe fix: Use the work order scrap process instead of a standalone inventory scrap adjustment.
Contact support if: The work order cannot accept the scrap correction.
