Understanding the Manual Issue of Material

You can use the Inventory Issues program (P31113) to manually issue material that is associated with a work order. When you issue material, you can select to have the system automatically adjust the issue quantity by the parent item's shrink or yield factor. You can also use this program to change the commitments that the system recorded. When you change commitments, the system displays an error message if the quantities do not add up to the total quantity that is required. It also adjusts the available balance for any location in which you changed the quantity committed.

If you are working with a large parts list and do not need to issue all component quantities at the same time, the system provides you with filter fields to display only those component records for which you want to perform issues. You can filter the parts list by operation sequence, requested dates, component item numbers, and component line numbers. If you issue items that have a secondary unit of measure, the issue line must state the issue quantity in both the primary and secondary unit of measure.

If you did not assign serial numbers to any of the assemblies on the work order at order entry, you can assign them during the inventory issue process.

You can access the Select Multiple Locations program (P42053) from the Inventory Issue Revision form if you need to issue material from locations that are different from the locations that appear on the Inventory Issue Revisions form.
