RE: Leftover pieces of Raw Material

Add a new Item number to be used for short lengths. Use this number to
store all lengths of a size you choose other than full length. This new
number would be used for all leftover pieces that you choose to track.
Your bills would still show the Item number of the full length and some
one can verify from the shorts number and make a substitution when
applicable.

After cutting a piece of pipe (raw material), the leftover length may be
10' and eventually you may have 4 pieces of 10' each (example).  The on
hand balance shows 40' and none gets ordered.  Of course the next need
is not for a 10' length, but a 30' length and only when someone pulls
material do they find out it isn't long enough for the operation.  The
10' lengths could be used for some operations, so is not scrap, and the
lengths may vary so cannot assign a new part number.  Any ideas on
handling this situation?

Thanks,
Ann
