For a manufacturing workshop, this extension tracks the precious metal entrusted to each operator and the metal loss along the chain, from melting to the finished piece. It reconciles the loss with the scrap (filings) actually recovered. Stock is not affected: it is a separate ledger.

​
The model

Each movement credits or debits an operator’s account:
  • Load (+): metal is entrusted to the operator for a manufacturing order.
  • Return (−): the operator returns the piece, plus an optional sprue (recovered casting gate).
  • Scrap return: filings come back, grouped by bucket, with no manufacturing order.
The balance reads per operator and per bucket. The loss per manufacturing order is: initial weight − returned weight − sprue. Stones are counted separately, in carats.
