Scrap during manufacturing

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 252 views

Odoo Manufacturing lets you scrap components or finished products that are damaged, defective or otherwise unusable during production. Tracking scrap helps monitor waste, spot process issues and keep production costs accurate.

What scrapping does

Scrapped items are removed from physical stock and moved to a virtual Virtual Locations/Scrap location, which logs the loss without treating it as real, usable inventory. Scrap orders can be reviewed at Inventory app > Operations > Scrap, and total scrapped quantities can be seen by removing the Internal filter under Inventory app > Configuration > Locations and opening Virtual Locations/Scrap.

How to scrap from the Manufacturing app

  1. Go to Manufacturing app > Operations > Manufacturing Orders and open the order.
  2. Click the actions (cog) icon and choose Scrap. Finished products can only be scrapped once the order is Done; components can be scrapped while it is Draft or Confirmed.

How to scrap from Shop Floor

Shop Floor only supports scrapping components. Open the manufacturing order’s card, tap the actions icon, and select Scrap from the pop-up.

Completing the scrap

  1. In the Scrap Products pop-up, select the Product being scrapped and enter the Quantity.
  2. Check the Source Location (defaults to the warehouse’s pre-production location) and Scrap Location (defaults to Virtual Locations/Scrap), and change either if needed.
  3. Tick Replenish Scrapped Quantities to automatically create a picking order to replace the scrapped component. Only enable this for two-step or three-step manufacturing, since components are not picked separately in one-step manufacturing.
  4. Click Scrap Products to confirm.

A Scraps smart button then appears on the order, listing every scrap order created against it.

Frequently asked questions

Where do scrapped items go in Odoo?

They are removed from stock and moved to the virtual Scrap location, which tracks losses without affecting real inventory levels.

Can I scrap a finished product from the Shop Floor module?

No, Shop Floor only allows scrapping components; finished products are scrapped from the Manufacturing app once the order is done.

When should I enable Replenish Scrapped Quantities?

Only for warehouses using two-step or three-step manufacturing, since one-step manufacturing does not pick components separately.
