Material costs can be applied to a Job when receiving a Purchase Order. If the User receiving the Purchase Order selects the Receive & Issue Immediately option, the application will perform two transactions; receive the parts into the Warehouse specified on the Parts Receipt and then immediately issue the parts to the Job out of the same Warehouse.
Please use caution when considering using this receiving/issuing method. Depending on whether you are valuing your inventory using the Standard Cost or Average Cost method, the cost of the Parts applied to the Job may not be the same amount that was received on the Purchase Order. Parts that are received into a Warehouse will take on either the Standard Cost or the PO value if using Average Cost. When the Issue transaction is performed, the parts are issued at the current Standard Cost or the current Average Cost. If you have received special pricing on the Purchase Order for the Job, you should use the Direct Expense option when receiving.
