Enter Scrapping Cause

Explanation

Scrapping causes allow you to analyze the reasons why parts have been scrapped. For example, you may determine that there has been significant loss because of parts that were damaged in the warehouse. This enables you to correct such problems and thus avoid further financial loss.

Once saved, the scrapping cause ID cannot be modified, but you can modify the description.
