Create And Authorize Inventory Issue – A Summary of the Activity

This activity allows you to issue items through inventory from the warehouse based on a single reference document. The inventory issue details are recorded based on the material request. The material request is the only reference document for the creation and maintenance of this issue transaction. Material request is a document for requesting issue of items from the warehouse. Material requests can be made with or without mention to a base or reference document. With reference as material request, inventory issue  can be used to issue the requisite number of items to production, maintenance and other cost centers. However, material requests are made from inventory cost centers generally, as the main purpose of such requests is to cater to the cost centers that do not possess the facility for raising requests for material issue.

Multiple issues of an item can be recorded against a single material request.  Stock status can not be changed during inventory issue. Whatever status has been requested in MR, will be carried over to inventory issue and user is not allowed to change the stock status.

The inventory issue transaction is of type “General”/ or “Capital” depending on whether the material request is of type “General” or “Capital”. A “General” material request  refers to a MR document having item types other than capital and request being made from a non capital warehouse.. Capital  inventory issue will always refer to a capital Material request and the request will be always made from a capital warehouse

Material requests are classified to be of type “Capital” and “Non Capital”/ “General” depending on whether the request for issue of materials is from a warehouse of type “Capital” or “Non Capital”/ “General”. So Inventory issue referring to a capital MR gives rise to Capital Inventory Issue and Inventory issue referring to a General MR gives rise a General Inventory Issue.Inventory issues can be authorized only if the user has the requisite permissions.
