Issue Material
Explanation
Use this activity to issue inventory parts you would
need for your work order. You can choose to issue material manually or automatically. If
you issue material manually, you can select the quantity you need. You can also select the
inventory location from which the materials are issued. You cannot do this with automatic
issue.
Prerequisites
Before issuing materials, decide how the
financial transactions will be posted. These rules apply to work order issues:
- The work order is controlled by work order pre-posting using the
accounting rules type T50. If pre-posting is not entered, then posting control in
Accounting Rules is used.
- Miscellaneous purchasing uses the accounting rules for type M50.
- If you use additions to cover administrative costs, use accounting
type M51. This accounting type uses the accounting from M50, except for the code parts
that are controlled.
Before issuing a part, the following must have been
completed:
- The inventory part must have been entered in
IFS/Inventory and the required
quantity available.
- The status of the work order must be set to Released or higher.
