Accounting for Inventory Scrap¶
From a business perspective, Scrap is a product or material that is discarded in the production or consumption process and withdrawn for other purposes or recycling.
When products and materials are removed, they are not considered inventory in the Viindoo Software. These items are sent to the damaged products and materials storage location known as Scrap Location.
Configure Scrap Location¶
After installing the Inventory application, you need to activate the Multi-Locations feature by navigating to Configuration > Setting > Warehouse > Storage Locationns > Save.
Next, you go to Inventory > Configuration > Locations, turn off the Internal filter then select Virtual Location/Scrap location.
It is mandatory to check Is a Scrap Location?. In the Accounting Information, you need to set up Accounting Accounts to record the generated scrap’s product valuation.
