To return a damaged item for scrap, in the RMA Entry or RMA Receipts Entry window, in the Item Action field, select Scrap. You can designate a default scrap warehouse where scrap items are returned. When items are returned for scrap, a default scrap account is debited during the Sales Order Sales Journal update.
