TRAX MANUALS > Inventory > Inventory Module > Inventory, Update Menu > Inventory Transaction > Inventory Transaction Buttons > Scrap Button, via Inventory Transaction

The Scrap button is used to permanently delete parts from the system. This should be done when parts are BER (Beyond Economic Repair), or the shelf life has expired.

From Inventory Transaction, select the item(s) required to scrap so that the Hand pointer is pointing at the desired record. Select the Scrap button.

TRAX displays the following screen. The system will display the location and bin of the selected part, as well as the quantity of parts on that location and the current market value (taken from the P/N Master, Costing tab). The quantity field is auto-populated with the full quantity of parts on that location/bin. Expendable or consumable parts with expired shelf life can be scrapped (more than one).

The following information/options are available in this window:

Select the Save button to finalize the process. A soft warning will appear if the part is not flagged as unserviceable. Financial journal entries are written and the Fixed Asset Records will adjust as required.

In the case of serialized items, the system will warn you if it re-appears back in the company from a Vendor.

A P/N scrap survey can optionally be set up, if desired. A Scrap Form will print out after selecting Save.
