Recording Material Loss
Material loss can be recorded as waste, scrap, defects, or spoilage. These issues occur in most manufacturing environments, which accounts for differences between the quantity input and output.
NetSuite and Advanced Manufacturing restrict material loss to report scrap of a completed assembly item. This is a produced item that has no use or cannot be sold.
To record material loss:
-
Go to Advanced Manufacturing > Data Collection > Enter Results/Loss/Downtime/Labor.
-
Click the Material Loss subtab.
-
Enter the Time the material loss occurred.
Use the 7/11/2020 7:25:04 am format.
-
Enter the Loss Quantity.
-
Select a Loss Reason.
For example, untrained operator, incorrect specification, or machine breakdown.
-
(Optional) Select the Asset Name.
If you do not select an asset, NetSuite uses the asset the work order was scheduled for.
-
(Optional) Select the name of the Employee who entered the data.
-
Click Save.
