scrapquantity

field on work orders. However, this field may not be directly searchable in filters or columns of a search. To access this field, you can use the

applying transaction

join to get to the related work order completion. Please note that there will be multiple related rows for the applying transaction, one of which represents the scrap quantity. The row that represents the scrap quantity will have the

Is Scrap

column set to true, and that row's quantity will represent the completion's scrap quantity. If a work order is no longer needed and you need to pull the component back from WIP to raw material, you might consider deleting the work order issue. This could be a viable solution if your Work Order issue is in an open period. However, this should be done with caution as it may have other implications on your financials and inventory management. Please note that these are general suggestions and the actual process may vary based on your specific business requirements and NetSuite setup. Always test any changes in a sandbox environment before applying them to your live account.
