Understanding Issuing Parts Included on the Work Order Parts List

You issue parts included on the work order parts list when you need to add costs for parts to a work order. This method is especially useful when you want to issue all parts from the parts list to the work order at the same time.

You can also use Work Order Inventory Issues to issue parts that are not included on the work order parts list to a work order. When you issue parts that are not included on the work order parts list, the system updates the parts list to include the additional parts. You can use processing options to restrict the parts that are issued to a work order to only those parts that are included on the parts list.

You can issue nonstock parts to a work order if you have defined them on the work order parts list. When you use Work Order Inventory Issues to issue nonstock parts, the system updates the work order parts list but does not create any accounting transactions.

Note: When you issue parts to a work order for a piece of equipment for which you have defined a warranty, the system provides a soft warning indicating the warranty status.
