Fields

Field	Description
Transaction Number	This field displays the next inventory transaction number.
Date	Enter the transaction date or click and select the date. If DPS is configured to require that transaction dates fall within the current fiscal year or current fiscal period, the date you enter must meet that requirement.
Performed By	This field displays the employee name of the DPS login user who started the Inventory application for this browser session. Click to select a different user from the Employee Lookup list.
Comment	Enter comments or notes in this field. The Inventory Issues Report header displays whatever is entered in this field.
Item Request Number	If this transaction was created in the New > Create Issue from Item Request option, this field displays the value in the Request Number field on the header of the item request from which this inventory issue transaction was created.
Requested By	If this transaction was created in the New > Create Issue from Item Request option, this field displays the value in the Requested By field on the header of the item request from which this inventory issue transaction was created.
Diary	This field displays only if you have set up a diary for the fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions in the Diary Auto Numbering Options section of the Transaction Settings form in Settings > Accounting > Transactions. Use this field to select a diary code for the current transaction or the group of transactions if you are processing a group of transactions, such as in a vendor payment run. The diaries are used to generate diary reports that contain a set of sequentially numbered transactions that have been posted to the general ledger during the fiscal year or to specific fiscal periods. You can assign different diaries (that have different diary types) to different types of transactions. The Diary drop-down list contains three columns. The first column displays the diary code. The second and third columns display the diary type for the diary code and the description of the diary type. The drop-down list contains all the diaries that you set up on the Diary Auto Numbering Options section in Transactions Settings that have the same fiscal period or fiscal year in which you are entering transactions or that have no fiscal period or year entered for them. If you have multiple companies in DPS, the Diary field drop-down list includes only the diary codes that are set up for the current company. The list also includes IC - Intercompany Diary to capture intercompany transactions. You cannot delete a transaction after it has been saved with a diary number. If a transaction is incorrect, you can enter zero amounts for the transaction or enter a reversing transaction.
