Overview
Scrap means waste that either has no economic value or only the value of its basic material
content recoverable through recycling.
In your warehouse you sometimes find products that are damaged or that are unusable due to expiry or for some other reason. You often notice this during picking or physical inventory.
Since you cannot normally sell or store these products, you have to scrap product.
When goods are scrapped they are not reflected in the system as a part of the inventory. The scrapped material will be physically moved to scrap area.
Configuration
When you install inventory management, odoo automatically creates one default scrap location, namely Virtual location/Scrapped.
To create an extra scrap location, Go to Inventory ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings and check Manage several locations per warehouse, then click on Apply.
After applying Manage several location per warehouse, you can create a new scrap location in Configuration ‣ Warehouse Management ‣ Locations.

To define a scrap location, you have to check Is a Scrap Location? on location form view.
