Assign Inventory Logic
Assigning inventory makes a green line and removes the assigned material from inventory and places into WIP. All inventory and accounting transactions are listed below. Each of these transactions happens at the time the inventory is assigned.
Accounting Transactions1.
The Inventory account of the Input item(s) is credited.The Average Cost of the item according to Owner/Held For/Warehouse is used.
2.
The Work in Process account of the the Input item is debited.The same cost as described in #1 is used.
Inventory Transactions1. Input items are taken out of stock and placed into WIP.
All stock input items are taken out of stock and placed into WIP when they are assigned to the production work order.
Allocate Inventory Logic
Users may Allocate material instead of assigning it to a production work order. Allocating material reserves the material to be used on the work order rather than actually taking the material out of inventory. Allocating material allows users to pre-select the material they wish used on the job.
To allocate materials, users will select a lot to allocate and make sure the "Allocate Only" check box is selected when the material is saved. This will highlight the allocated material as a yellow line.
Other options to allocate material is to use the "SO Allocate" button, which will allow users to choose the lot(s) they want to use to allocate.
To remove the allocated material, select the line from the grid and hit the "Remove Allocation" button.
