Issue transaction

When you distribute parts to an employee or crew, you must create an issue transaction to record the parts you have taken out of inventory.

Issue transactions are used to track the number of parts on hand and the costs of the parts.

After you have created an issue transaction, you can view it in the Transaction InfoViewer or create another issue transaction. You can also create a return from issue transaction to return issued parts to the stock area.

Note: You can also use the Materials Manager to create issue transactions. You can use the Materials Manager to issue several different types of parts simultaneously.

Two different quantities are tracked for each part in a stock area. The quantity on hand is the total number of parts in the stock area, and the quantity available is the quantity of parts in the stock area that are not reserved.

You cannot issue more than are on hand, but you can create a reserve transaction for a quantity greater than the quantity available. The quantity available becomes a negative number, indicating that more parts are reserved than are currently on hand. This may be acceptable in an emergency, or in cases where you know you'll be receiving more parts before the reserved parts are required.

Note: If your agency has purchased Infor Barcoding, you can also use a barcode scanner to issue parts. See the Infor Barcoding documentation for instructions.
