Good Morning Krausef77,
Currently you would need to return the material issue through a production material transaction to stock. Then perform an issue transaction from inventory and use the correct reason code to the desired expense account.
I think you raise an interesting topic. If we were to scrap the component part in a material transaction from production, then it would have to become a cost of the production order. This would assume the compart part scrapped was damaged by the MFG floor during production. If that is the case, then adding a reason code to the material transaction would be very helpful.
On the other hand, I thought from reading your post, that the material is simply found to be defective and your desire is to not have it become part of the manufacturing expense or variance. In this case, I'm not sure what the solution should look like. I think pie in the sky would be to add to the reason code a check box to indicate the proper expense account and that this material cost is not part of the production order total cost. I did not look to see if that is an enhancement already reported, but would be a great suggestion. :)
In the meantime, you would need to return the components to stock through a negative material issue and then dispose of them through an inventory adjustment using the correct reason code.
I’m sorry I don’t have something more helpful.

Thank you, Chuck this is very helpful.
The Usecase is that the Material was damaged on the Production floor and therefore has to be rolled up into the Production Cost under the Scrap Tab.
I appreciate your input and I created a Product Idea here if you want to vote for it.
