Total Scrap Amount

The total amount of this scrap adjustment is displayed here. Costpoint calculates the total by multiplying the scrap quantity by the unit cost or the sum of the extended cost for all of the lines. You cannot modify this calculated field. This field is not displayed if Cost Suppression is in effect (the Suppress Cost check box of the Manage Users screen in Costpoint Administration).

Reverse Transaction

Click this button to reverse the selected transaction. The positive Scrap Quantity and associated Total Scrap Amount will be reversed. Reversing quantities cannot exceed the original transaction quantity. You can apply a reversal of transaction to both positive and/or negative adjustment quantities, and the effect of reversing a positive adjustment is similar to that of a negative adjustment. The original transaction costs will be used for the reversal.
