Hello! I am trying to get the Salvage operation to work. We have material we cut, and sometimes we need to use a larger material, that will leave us with another “part”. I have entered this salvaged part into the operation, but it does not do anything with it. I am hoping it will add it back to inventory and relieve it from the cost of the jobs.
Does anyone have any experience using Salvage?
I don’t think its automatic. I think you still have to do the “Job Receipt to Salvage” process.

Thanks for the Reply David. I would have thought this could have neem automated as it is an option in the Job. After reviewing the “Job Receipt to Salvage” it looks like you can salvage any part.
Yeah, I can’t say I fully understand it. I did some initial testing prior to Go-Live a couple years ago, but its not a process we have a regular use case for, so I haven’t played with it much.
But, yes, I think you can pretty much salvage any part number. I’m not sure if you set up a salvage part on the operation, then perhaps it pre-populates the Salvaged Part search when you do the “Job Receipt to Salvage” process?
It does sound like it should be automatic:
- Salvage Material- A salvage part is one that, after the operation, you can reuse in some way. A salvage part can have its own part record. You can link this salvage part to a material within a job or quote method. As the manufacturing process produces job quantities, the salvage part quantity created from the linked material is received to inventory. Because of this, the material costs for the salvage part quantity are then credited back to the job. When the salvaged material is used on the next job, however, the inventory costs for the salvage quantity are then added to the costs on the second job.
Did you complete any quantities on the job operation you’re working with?
Thanks David,
We did complete the quantities, but the salvaged materials never made it back to stock. Perhaps we were doing something wrong. Was hoping someone on the forum maybe had the same experience and found a solution.

We use the salvage function regularly and you have to complete the job receipt to salvage step to receive it back into inventory. The salvage part setup on the material will default as the salvage part when you open the job receipt to salvage screen and select that material. It will also be used for estimated salvage credit on the job.

For salvage parts, doing Job Receipt to Salvage is needed. Similar to parts completed on a job needing Job Receipt to Inventory or unused raw materials needing Return Material.

Thanks Jeff,
We don’t require job receipt to inventory, that happens automatically when the auto receive button is clicked. I think that you are correct for the Salvage needing the receipt done manually though.

Great info! Thanks Andrew. A shame it can’t be programmed into the Revision, to automate.

Agreed I can see where that could come in handy. For us our salvage quantities are pretty variable so user intervention would always be required.
just to agree with the above: Salvage is NOT and will not be automatic. We don’t know what the salvage will be, and it is totally dependant on multiple factors.
- if you are cutting 6 feet off an 8 foot length, and doing it 100 times, you have 100 two foot lengths as salvage
- if you are splitting a one-inch wide 60’ roll of tape to get 120’ of 1/3 inch wide tape, then you have a salvage of a 1/3 inch wide 60’ roll.
- if you have a 4 x 8 sheet of glass, and you are cutting four 1x1 sheets, you now have a single 4 x 7 sheet of glass as salvage… but if you break one, then you now might need to cut another row, and you will end up with a single 4 x 6 sheet and three 1x1 sheets as salvage.
so this all gets complicated depending on what the starting material is, and what it takes to cut/disassembl/produce.
