Odoo Inventory Module Scrap Management
Damaged, discarded, or date-expired products or resources that can be repurposed are referred to as scrap. These materials are generated or leftover from different phases of the product manufacturing or commercial process. Scrap, unlike garbage, has a monetary value, hence it is critical to managing scrap goods. Because they deal with items, product movements, and stock, the chances of creating scrap in a company's inventory are extremely significant.
