Inventory Issue Transactions
You must send the required materials (parts) to the shop floor for production. You use the Work Order Inventory Issues program (P31113) to deduct from inventory the quantities issued to the shop floor through an issue transaction. This transaction reports the actual quantities and cost of materials that were used in the production process to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Manufacturing Accounting systems.
Inventory issue transactions do not have to occur at the same time that the physical transfer of inventory takes place. You can determine the point in the production process when you want the inventory records to reflect the issue of the parts to the work order.
This table identifies the four ways to issue material:
Issue Method |
Description |
|---|---|
Manual issue |
The system deducts materials from inventory when you enter the issue transactions on the Inventory Issue Revisions form. |
Preflushing |
You set a processing option for the Order Processing program (R31410) to deduct materials from inventory automatically when you process a work order. |
Backflushing |
The system deducts materials from inventory when items on the work order are reported as complete. This deduction method might occur when you report partial completions throughout the production process or when you report full completions at the last routing operation. |
Super backflushing |
The system deducts materials from inventory automatically at operations that are defined as pay points throughout the routing when the pay points are reported as complete or partially complete. The Super Backflush program (P31123) enables you to simultaneously backflush materials and labor hours, and report items that are complete at an operation. |
When you issue parts to a work order, the system immediately relieves parts from inventory and writes a material issue (IM) transaction to the Item Ledger table (F4111). The unaccounted units and amounts are updated in the Work Order Parts List table until you run the Manufacturing Accounting Journal Entries program (R31802A) for work in process or completions.
Regardless of the method that you use to issue materials to a work order, when you run the Variance Journal Entries program (R31804), the system compares the cost of materials issued to the cost of materials specified on the parts list. The program calculates an actual variance for any discrepancy.
Depending on the costing method that you are using, the system performs these calculations when you issue materials:
Calculation |
Description |
|---|---|
Standard costing (method 07) |
Records unaccounted units. |
Actual costing (method 02 or 09) |
Records unaccounted units, calculates the amounts using the value in the Item Cost table for the component's inventory cost method, and records unaccounted amounts. |
