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.
