Will this be “manual” only in the sense that the production user has to click the button and verify the items to transfer back to raw materials stock? Or do you mean that the button will take them to the ledger and they have to do it all manually?
No, I did not mention in this post because yesterday is the first time I saw this post.
Due to how this was stated I thought someone has been keeping track of the important manufacturing elements that are missing. Scrap Management is probably the 3rd most important part of the manufacturing process after BOM/WorkOrders, and accounting ledger entries.
It has been a sore spot on the manufacturing module now for several years. In previous posts about it going back over at least 2 years now the core team promised to address it in the next revisit to manufacturing.
And now you tell us it will have to wait for several more years until you get around to manufacturing again?!?
I know that @JayRam and others have discussed this in the forums and tagged core team members into the discussions many times over.
So why continue to ignore this important part of the manufacturing process and cripple the module yet again?
The complaints about this missing function already go back over 4 years!!! Go ahead. Search the forums yourself to see. At some point someone even wrote part of the function and had it setup is a PR but it NEVER got done and that was several years ago as well.
This is the missing function that already forces me to use other ERP systems with my clients that are manufacturing focused. There are plenty of bells and whistles in the new features, yet nothing to solve a problem that occurs every week in every manufacturing environment.
As I said before… I give up. This system may never be ready for real manufacturing.
And… NO, I am not going to spend a fortune again to tear apart a module to fix it only to have almost all of my PRs skipped over. I did that for POS and I am not up for that kind of headache again.
