This task is one section of Odoo inventory and products: five everyday tasks, with 4 related tasks on one page.
1. Open Scrap
In Inventory, open Operations and then Scrap. If Inventory is not installed, install it first.
2. Enter the quantity
Choose the product, the damaged quantity, and the location that currently holds it. Use a quantity you can check, such as one unit on a test product.
3. Validate
Validate the scrap. A draft scrap has not changed stock yet.
4. Check on-hand
The on-hand quantity in that location should be lower by the scrapped quantity. The scrap document should still be available to explain the drop.
5. Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as a stock count?
No. A count sets what you found. Scrap records quantity you removed as waste. Use a count when the quantity was never there.
Can I scrap from the wrong location?
Odoo will not take stock from an empty location. Pick the location that holds the goods.
Should I delete the product?
No. Scrap the quantity. Keep the product for the next receipt.
