Validate scrap

After a vendor scraps inventory, you must validate the scrap to update the inventory condition of inventory on the scrap lines to Scrapped in Maintenix. At this point, you can also attach scrap documents to the inventory directly from the repair order.

You must have a repair order with at least one scrap line that has not yet been validated. In order to validate scrap, the component work package cannot have any active tasks. Users should unassign, cancel, complete or terminate any active tasks in the component work package before validating scrap.
You can scrap inventory and attach scrap documents for all the scrap lines on a repair order.
  1. On the Order Search page, search for the repair order with scrap lines to be validated.
  2. Click the link for the repair order.
  3. On the RO Details page, click Validate Scrap.
  4. On the Validate Scrap page, provide the requested information, paying attention to the following field:
    • Scrap Quantity: Enter the quantity of inventory to be scrapped.
  5. Optional: Click Add Attachment to add scrap documents that have been received for the inventory.
    1. On the Add Attachment page, in the Attachment area, drag and drop the file or click to select a file.
    2. Enter the requested information and click OK or to add another attachment, click OK and Repeat.
  6. On the Validate Scrap page, click Scrap.
Inventory will be scrapped and the condition set to Scrapped for the scrap quantity specified when validating scrap. In the case of a repair order scrap line for which a partial quantity has been scrapped, the remaining quantity of inventory will remain in the Condemned condition. In the Scrap Document Receipts section of the Receipt and Returns tab, you can view a summary of scrapped inventory for each scrap line.
Note: To validate scrap, click the "Validate Scrap" button. This will scrap the inventory and automatically complete the component work package (WP). However, for the WP to complete automatically, you must have the required sign-off skill assigned to the WP. The BLANK_RO_SIGNATURE configuration parameter defines a skill that may be assigned to the component work package. However, users can also add and remove skills. To validate scrap, you need to have the skill assigned to the Sign-off Requirements section of the work package, which may not necessarily be the skill from the configuration parameter.
