Handling Rejected Material: Rework, Scrap, and Outward Flow in ManufApp

Handling Rejected Material: Rework, Scrap, and Outward Flow in ManufApp

Rejected material doesn’t always go straight to waste. Many rejected RM, WIP, or FG lots still contain usable quantities that can be repaired, recovered, or reconverted into good stock. At the same time, some portions are genuinely unusable and must move to Scrap, and in some cases, scrap needs to be sent out of the factory through a controlled Outward process.

This guide explains how ManufApp helps you handle all three outcomes—Rework, Scrap, and Scrap-Out—while maintaining clean traceability and accurate inventory.

Objective 

To provide a controlled, traceable workflow for handling rejected material by allowing users to rework the usable portion, scrap the unusable part, and send scrap outward when required. While ensuring inventory accuracy, audit compliance, and clear segregation between good stock, rejected stock, and scrap.

Step 1: Navigate to Rejected Inventory

  1. Go to Inventory → Warehouses.



  1. Select the Rejected tab.

  2. You will see the list of items marked as rejected, along with their details.



Step 2: Send Rejected Items for Rework

  1. Click the Rework icon under the Actions column.



  1. A Rework Items pop-up will appear.

    • Enter only the Quantity (Qty) to be reworked. Other details are pre-filled automatically.



  1. Click Submit to confirm.

  2. The item will move to the rework flow.

Step 3: Scrap the Rejected Items

  1. If the rejected items cannot be reworked, click the Scrap icon.



  1. A Scrap Items pop-up will appear.

    • Enter Inward Scrap Item Name and Quantity.

  2. Click Submit.



  1. The item will move to the Scrap Inventory.

Step 4: Manage Scrap Inventory

  1. You can go to the Scrap tab in Live Inventory.

  2. Here you can see all scrap items, with details such as Scrapped Qty, Reorder Level, and Surplus.



  1. Scrap items can be further discarded.

Step 5: Create Outward Request for Scrap

  1. From Scrap Inventory, click the Outward icon.

  2. A form will open for Outward Request.

    • Fill in Customer Name

    • Enter Invoice Number (e.g., INV-2025-00123)

    • Enter Truck Number (e.g., HR55 AB 6789)

    • Select Quantity.



  1. Click Submit.

  2. The system will generate an outward request and confirm with “Items scrapped successfully.”



Conclusion 

The Rework–Scrap–Scrap-Out flow in ManufApp keeps your inventory clean and transparent. Usable quantities are recovered properly, scrap is tracked separately, and outward removal is documented with full traceability. This eliminates manual adjustments, prevents stock mismatches, and ensures rejected material is handled consistently, in a controlled manner, and in an auditable way.
