Performing a Miscellaneous Issue is used when you need to reduce the number of parts in a Warehouse. Situations that would warrant this transaction:
- Parts have "gone missing" from the warehouse
- Parts were damaged and need to be scrapped
- Parts were used internally by your company
- A salesperson is "borrowing" parts for a customer demonstration
1. Navigate to the Main Application Menu and select the Issues/Returns option from the Inventory module.
2. The Issue Parts form will be displayed. Fill in the information in the header section of this form; see the data entry field definitions below.
Data Entry Field Definitions
- Radio Buttons - Select the Other radio button.
- Warehouse - Select the Warehouse from the drop-down list from which the parts are being issued.
- Reference - Enter a note into this field to describe the reason for the issue.
- Issue Date - Enter or select a date from the calendar. This is the date the parts are being removed from the Warehouse. This date must be in an open accounting period.
