Feature Request: More Scrap Location Options

To preface I am on the production end and do all work order processing.

I have been using the scrap management for a while and it's been very useful for me for the single machine I work on, however I am a little worried about how it's going to work when I add a second/third machine into the mix running the same material with different jobs since it pulls scrap from the global inventory.

The issue I foresee is processing several jobs between multiple machines and committing scrap at each job and creating a goose-chase of "where is the scrap" when they haven't been cut yet. Now yes I could commit at the end of the day instead but then I would need to keep track of what jobs I have processed the previous day.

What I am thinking is a way to designate scrap locations to specific processing stations and have them only pull from their respective inventory. Something like Station A can only put scrap in Bay A and can only pull from Bay A, or however you would configure it, or have the commit window default to the location specified in the station settings.
