 Overview

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.

When an inventory item is returned for scrap, the default scrap account specified in the Inventory Management Product Line Maintenance window is debited when the Sales Order Sales Journal is updated.
