How to handle Scrap items in Odoo Manufacturing

Odoo 16 Manufacturing module provides efficient management and creation of scrap product data. When a product fails to meet quality standards, is damaged beyond repair, or exceeds its expiry date, it must be turned into scrap, resulting in its removal from the stock. This removal should be recorded for report generation.

To view and remove products from the stock, the Scrap option can be selected from the Operations tab. The list of scrap orders includes details such as Reference, Date of conversion to scrap, Product name, Quantity with Unit of Measure, Source Location, Scrap Location, Company name, and Scrap Status.
