Parts may be issued to a Job from a Warehouse directly from a Job record or from the Inventory module.
Parts being returned to stock from a Job may be returned from the Job record only if the parts were not received from a Direct Expense Purchase Order.
Returns for Direct Expensed parts or parts originally issued to the Job from a Warehouse may be returned from the Inventory module (Issues/Returns option).
When parts are issued to a Job where WIP (Work in Process) is being used, the application will credit the G/L account linked to the Warehouse selected in the Issue form and credit the Material WIP account for the job. For returns to the Warehouse from a Job, the opposite transaction is performed by the application.
The part cost applied to the Job depends on the Costing Method your company is using. If using the Average Costing method, the issue transaction will use the current average cost of the part(s) within the warehouse from which it is issued. If using the Standard Costing method, the issue transaction will use the standard cost assigned to the part(s) within the warehouse from which it is issued.
The Issues form on the Job record or on the Inventory Issues/Returns form is also used to put in and take parts out of a Holding Area, and assign to the Installer taking the parts out of the warehouse.
This topic section will provide detailed instructions on how to issue parts, return parts and take parts out of a holding area.
