Issue Material
Explanation
This activity is used to issue the required quantity of a part from the
respective project inventory. Issuing can be done either manually or
automatically. Manual issuing provides the option of issuing materials partially
while the automatic option issues the full quantity at once. It is possible to issue already
reserved material and/or issue material directly from the location without
having prior reservations.
Prerequisites
- The quantity of the part, to be issued from inventory, must exist in an
inventory location for the site.
- The activity must be in the Released status.
System Effects
- The material is issued.
- The values for the Issued Quantity and Issued Date
fields are updated in the ERMPL demand
line.
- The quantity on hand for the part is updated, i.e., the amount of the
part is reduced.
- An inventory transaction for each location is created in Inventory.
These transactions are posted with information from the
Project/Project
PrePosting window.
