  • 1.  Scrap stock items in Maximo

    Posted 09-20-2021 01:41
    Dear All,

    Could you please suggest what would be the ideal way to scrap inventory items in Maximo.The inventory team has provided the list of items which have been sold and they have changed the status of the items to pending obsolescence in Maximo and would like to change the current balance of the items to 0 for the bulk items before the status is changed to obsolete.

    We have used MXLoader in the past to ensure that the current balance adjustment transaction is done and the average cost is adjusted along with setting the right GL accounts but we need suggestions if there is any better approach in accomplishing the same.

    Thanks.

    Hello Mahadevan,

    We used the following process:
    • Created a work order for the scrapping process
    • Set GL to scrap account
    • Added all items as planned material, using MXLoader
    • Approved work order.  This created a Inventory Usage record.  This may need to be set in the organizations application.
    • Issued all inventory using Inventory Usage application
    You can use balance adjustments, but I find this approach provides more transparency into what is really happening.

    Thanks,
    Stephen
