Use this screen to pull parts out of inventory and issue them to a manufacturing order. You can also access this screen in Costpoint Inventory. The inventory costs of issues are tracked by the MO to which they are issued to determine the value of the parts built by the manufacturing order.
Use this screen as required to issue inventory to a manufacturing order.
Enter the ID of the issue you want to add. If the Auto-Assign field in the Transaction IDs subtask of the Warehouses (Materials » Inventory » Controls) screen is set to Y (Yes) for the Issue to Manufacturing Order selection, leave this field blank and the system automatically assigns the next issue ID based on the Last Inv Trans ID field in the Transaction IDs subtask of the Warehouses screen. If the Auto-Assign field is set to N (No), manually enter an issue ID of up to 10 alphanumeric characters.
Enter the date on which this transaction took place. The accounting period is derived from this date. This required field defaults to the current date, but it can be changed.
Enter, or use Lookup to select, the employee ID of the person who performed this issue.
Enter, or use binoculars 
icon to select, the ID of the
manufacturing order to which these parts are being issued. A MO does not
qualify for MO issues unless you have selected the Allow
Additional Material Issues check box in the Header subtask of the
Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials
» Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen.
This field displays the status of the selected MO.
This field displays the name of the planner assigned to the selected MO.
This field displays the name of the supervisor assigned to the selected MO.
This field displays the warehouse in which the selected MO is being built.
This field displays the total remaining costs to be issued to the MO, based on the requirement lines entered. This total changes to reflect the actual cost currently being issued.
Whenever you use the New Line button on the toolbar, the issue line number is automatically assigned. If you select the Autoload button, issue lines for the current MO requirements display.
Enter, or use
to select, the MO requirement line number against which these parts are
being issued. If the Update
Rsvn field is Y" the
Inv Reservation Quantity
is reduced by the Issued
Quantity, even if the issue part/revision and/or inventory abbreviation
do not match. If this field is left blank and the Update
Rsvn field is set to Y, the
program looks for a requirement line matching the MO and part/revision
(and same inventory abbreviation if multiple rows exist with matching
MO and part/revision) and reduce the Inv
Reservation Quantity
on that issue line by the Issued
Quantity. If the Quantity
To Issue field in the Requirements subtask of the Enter Manufacturing
Orders (Materials » Production Control
» Manufacturing Orders) screen is less than the original Inv
Reservation Quantity, it is not reduced unless it becomes greater
than the new Inv Reservation
Quantity, in which case it is reduced to equal the new reserved quantity.
The Quantity To Issue
field cannot be larger than the Inv
Reservation Quantity.
This field displays the component find number of the material requirement.
Enter, or use
to select, the ID of the part being issued to the MO.
Enter, or use
to select, the revision level of the part being issued to the MO.
This field displays the description of the part being issued to the MO.
This field displays the unit of measure of the part being issued to the MO.
Enter, or use
to select, the inventory abbreviation code from which the material is
being issued.
This field displays the project ID from which the material is being issued.
Enter the quantity of the part being issued to the MO. If you select the Autoload button, the total quantity required automatically displays, but can be changed. If you selected the Autoload button and no issues are being made for this part, you must delete the entire line. If a requirement line exists and you entered Y in the Update Rsvn field, a positive issue decreases inventory quantities, decreases Inv Reservation Quantity, increases Issued Quantity, and increases MO costs. Similarly, a negative issue increases inventory quantities, increases Inv Reservation Quantity, decreases Issued Quantity, and decreases MO costs.
Positive issues do not affect average actual costs, whereas negative issues recalculate it (if the build-to inventory project uses average actual costing).
Enter, or use
to select, the warehouse location from which the material is being issued.
For a backflush part, selecting the Autoload
Backflush button (from the warning message) loads the backflush
location into this field (you must select the First
Issue option in the Backflush Timing
group box in the Production Control Settings
(Materials » Production Control » Production Controls) screen for
backflush component lines to load. (See the Backflush
Requirements section below). If you issue a positive quantity and
the From Location
is On Hold (for the Warehouse
ID in the Locations screen in Costpoint Inventory), the system displays
a warning message if you attempt to save the record or add a new line.
This field displays the completion need date from the Requirements subtask of the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen.
Enter Y to reduce the Inv Reservation Quantity by the Issued Quantity. Enter N If you do not want to consume the part's reservation.
This field displays the inventory reservation quantity of the part.
This field displays the total required quantity of the part, based on the build quantity entered in the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen.
This field displays the total issued quantity of the part.
This field displays the unit cost of the part. For positive issues, this is the average actual cost for the part/revision/inventory abbreviation. For negative issues, this is equal to the unit cost of the latest issue for the part/revision/inventory abbreviation.
This field displays the total extended cost of the part based on the issued quantity.

Click this button to record or view cost information on the transaction line. This button is not available if Cost Suppression is in effect (the Suppress Cost check box is selected in the table window of the Maintain Users (Other » System Administration » System Security) screen.
This button is available only when you have selected the Relief option in the Backflush Timing group box in the Production Control Settings (Materials » Production Control » Production Controls) screen. When selected, the Autoload function loads the issue lines from the current requirements of the selected MO that have an Inv Reservation Quantity greater than zero. If there is only one location (with a quantity greater than zero) for the part/inventory abbreviation/ warehouse, it is loaded into the From Location field. If the quantity at that location is less than the Inv Reservation Quantity, it is displayed in the Issue Quantity field. You can also load requirements one line at a time by clicking the New Line button and entering (or using the binoculars icon to select) a requirement number in the Reqmt Line field, and the same information populates the table window. If you do not enter a requirement line, you can still issue to an MO and specify whether or not reservations are consumed against that MO.
Autoload also brings in inventory floor stock parts that have associated inventory abbreviations and if the Quantity to Issue is greater than zero.
If you selected the First Issue option for the Backflush Timing in the Production Control Settings (Materials » Production Control » Production Controls) screen and you enter an MO that has remaining Backflush requirements to issue (from the Requirements subtask in the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen), the following message displays:
Moreover, you have three options from within this warning message that allow you to automatically load MO requirements for all required inventory parts, backflush parts (if they exist), or no autoload:
Autoload All - Select this option to populate the table window with all requirement lines for that MO where the Inv Reservation Quantity is greater than zero. The part's Issue Quantity displays the total requirement, or the available quantity that is in inventory if this is less than the total requirement. You can change the quantity to issue. If no issues are being made for the selected part, you must delete the entire line.
Autoload Backflush - Select this option to populate the table window with only backflush requirement lines for that MO where the Inv Reservation Quantity is greater than zero. Instead of loading the entire inventory reservation quantity in the Issue Quantity field, the system loads the Issue Quantity field with the requirement's Inv Reservation Quantity, Quantity to Issue, or backflush location quantity, whichever is lowest. The From Location field populates with the requirement's Backflush Location. Each line that is loaded in this way is flagged as a new line. The system displays a warning message if the entire reservation quantity cannot be loaded because there is an insufficient quantity in the location.
No Autoload - Select this button to return to the main screen without changes.
If you selected the First Issue option and you enter an MO that does not have remaining backflush requirements to issue, the following message displays:
If you click the Autoload button from within this warning message, the table window populates with the requirement lines for that MO where the inventory reserved quantity is greater than zero. If you click the No Autoload button, you return to the main screen without changes.
You can clone MO issues by selecting Clone from the File menu on the toolbar. A separate window appears where you can enter the Issue ID that you would like to clone, as well as the Type and Warehouse for a particular Issue ID. If the Issue ID, MO, and Issue Lines have been loaded in the main screen, the Clone function defaults with that Issue ID. Click the Execute button to proceed with the clone transaction, or select Cancel to discontinue and return to the main screen. Once the transaction has been cloned, a message displays giving you the option to reverse it. Select Yes to reverse the quantities of the cloned transaction. Select No to keep the cloned transaction as it appears. Reversing quantities cannot exceed the original transaction quantity. The affect of reversing a positive issue is similar to that of a issuing a negative quantity. The original transaction costs are used for the reversal. If a part requires serial/lot tracking, save the record and access the Serial/Lot Disposition subtask for that issue line/part.
