Issues (IC21.1)
Use Issues (IC21.1) to directly enter issue transactions into the Inventory Control application. Transactions are entered in this form by a user-defined document ID. Transactions are released (updated) to the Inventory Control application by document ID using the Release form action. This process lets you review and adjust transactions before they are updated to inventory.
When transactions are released, stock-on-hand quantities are updated immediately.
This form lets you enter multiple item issues by item number and issue quantity. As you enter item issues, you can enter notations for general ledger and/or override default values for the item's unit of measure, unit cost, preferred bin, and debit accounts. You can also override the debit accounting unit for all issue transactions at once or individually by line.
More Information
If items are set up for lot or serial number tracking, this form walks you through required detail forms, IC29.1 (Lots) or IC29.2 (Serials). You must complete each detail form before you can release a document. Otherwise, a message indicates out of balance. To access item detail forms after the initial transfer, you must first view the document using this form. Then, select the Walkthru form action.
You can issue from multiple bins for lot or serial number tracked items when this form transfers you to required lot or serial forms. However, for a normal item, you must enter each bin as a separate line transaction.
Before you enter item issues you must first enter the company, location, document ID, issue date/time, and general ledger posting date. Date/time fields default to the system date unless otherwise specified. The general ledger posting date indicates to which general ledger period to post transactions. You can post transactions to any general ledger period as long as the general ledger posting date is within 35 days (before or after) of the current inventory period end date defined in IC01.2 (Period End Dates). If the general ledger posting date is later than the current general ledger period, transactions remain on the general ledger file until the appropriate general ledger period becomes current. Transactions are passed to the General Ledger application by running IC130 (General Ledger Interface).
To process issue returns, use negative numbers in the quantity field.
