Scrapping inventory at vendor

When you send inventory to a vendor for repair, the vendor may advise you that it is not repairable or may quote a price that is too costly. When the part is beyond economical repair, you can ask the vendor to scrap the inventory for you.

Inventory for assembly, tracked, serialized and batch parts can all be sent to a vendor for repair and, if necessary, scrapped there. To scrap inventory at a vendor location, once the inventory has been sent to be repaired, you can convert the repair order line to scrap. At this point, you can record the price per unit that it will cost to scrap the inventory, the reason for scrapping the inventory and the account to which the scrap cost will be charged. Additionally for batch inventory to be scrapped, you can define the quantity of the inventory that should be scrapped and any remaining inventory quantity will remain to be repaired on the repair order line. At this point, the inventory on the order line converted to scrap, will be condemned in Maintenix.

When scrap lines have been added to a repair order, the repair order will be opened so that it can be authorized and issued again and the original inbound shipment will be canceled as it no longer accurately reflects the inventory to be received. To create a new inbound shipment, for inventory that is in repair or remains to be repaired on the repair order, you must be authorize and issue the repair order again.

After a vendor scraps the inventory, you can validate the scrap and attach scrap documents directly to the inventory from the repair order, to scrap the inventory in Maintenix. Once all scrap lines on a repair order have been validated and all repaired inventory has been received, the repair order status will change to received and the corresponding work package is ready to be closed. If the repair order only contains scrap lines, once all lines have been validated as scrapped and no open tasks exist on the work package, the work package for the repair order will be automatically closed.
