Recycling
Recycling: production and BOM, stock and warehouse, shipment and reporting.
Challenges
- Scrap is weighed in without a quality split, so the sorting yield is unknown.
- After sorting, secondary raw material and waste stay in the same line item.
- Supplier payment does not vary by tonnage and quality.
- The selling price of secondary raw material is not linked to market moves.
Workflows
From intake to sorting
- Scrap intake is weighed on the weighbridge and recorded by type.
- A sorting work order is opened and the resulting secondary material and waste are posted separately.
- Sorting yield is computed against the intake tonnage.
Sales and payment
- Secondary raw material stock is held by type and quality.
- The selling price is updated with the period's market value.
- Supplier payment is computed with tonnage and a quality deduction.

FAQ
Can I measure the sorting yield?
Yes — intake tonnage and output secondary material are ratioed to give the yield.
Can I track waste separately?
Yes — waste is posted as a separate line on the sorting work order.
Can I tie supplier payment to quality?
Yes — the quality deduction rate enters the payment breakdown alongside tonnage.
Can I update the selling price with the market?
Yes — prices per type are updated each period and new sales use the current price.
Can I separate stock by type?
Yes — every type and quality is a separate stock card.
