During our manufacturing process, we produce scrap. This is anticipated, as it is a result of stamping processes on our shop floor. A part will be stamped out, and the metal skeleton is collected and then sold to a metal scrapping facility. We have been setting this up as a by-product for each type of metal (stainless, copper, etc.). The issue we are running into is that our operators have to manually receive all by-product on the shop order. Is there a way to automatically receive by-product without having an operator need to report it during the Shop Order? Should by-product even be used for this scenario? I believe we needed to use by-product for the financial transaction of selling the scrap material:
PN: 123456 produced 10,000 lb of scrap as a result of the mfg process, and it was sold to company XYZ for $6,000.
