Issuing inventory

When you issue inventory, you decrease stock-on-hand at the inventory location. The receiving location is not an inventory location. This procedure describes the steps to issue inventory from an inventory location to another location, department, or person.

Procedure flow: Issuing inventory

Issue inventory

  1. Access Issues (IC21.1).
  2. Define header information.

    Specify this information:

    To Company

    If you issue inventory to another company, select the company to receive the inventory.

    To issue inventory to another company, you must define an intercompany relationship in Intercompany Relationships (GL25.1).

    Requesting Location

    Select the requesting location or department that will receive the items.

  3. Specify items.
  4. Specify item quantities. Use negative numbers if you need to process issue returns.
    Note: Drill Around on the item to determine the valid unit of measures.
  5. If your company requires item unit of measure on transactions, specify item unit of measure.
  6. Select the add form action.
  7. If you issue any items that are detail tracked, you are prompted to complete a Walk Thru. If an item is tracked by bin, lot, serial number, or UDI, you are transferred to Lots (IC29.1), Serials (IC29.2), Bins (IC29.3), or UDI (IC29.5).

    You cannot view or make changes to the issue on Issues (IC21) after you release the document. Use Transaction History (IC50) to view the document and then use Adjustments (IC24) to create an adjustment to change stock-on-hand.

    Note: Stock-on-hand is reduced when you release the issue.
  8. Release the issue.
