Manufacturing > Item Issuance > Issue Component Items

The Issue Component Items function allows you to issue quantities of the component items to a work order, which means these items are reserved for the production of the work order it is issued to and cannot be used by any other transaction. The Issue Component Items transaction can be done prior to recording the work order to in-process.

Issuing component items will move the issued quantity out of the source bin into a "simulated" bin that represents the work center assigned to the specified Step # where the component is used. Quantities of items issued to work orders are reflected in the Issued Quantity field in the item's maintenance record.

Note: Various drillable fields and Lookup buttons are available in this function window. When you click on any drillable field in this function window, the system automatically displays the corresponding Maintenance window. When you right-click or left-click on any Lookup button, the system displays the corresponding Key Search or Full Text Search window, respectively. For more information about these drillable fields and Lookup buttons, refer to the Understanding AccountMate Symbols section.

To issue component items to a work order, perform the following steps:

1.Access the Issue Component Items function from the Item Issuance group under the Transactions main menu in the Manufacturing module.

Note: If you have the Inventory Control module, have activated the Use Barcode Scanner feature in the IC Module Setup, you can use a barcode scanner to locate the work order # represented by the barcode. A Barcode field will be displayed above the Component Items grid in this function and you can scan SKU or UPC barcode IDs of the master items whose components you want to issue.

2.Enter in the Warehouse field the warehouse assigned to the work order for which you want to issue component items. Alternatively, you may click the Lookup button to display the Search window where you can select a warehouse code. The warehouses that will show in this window are those that have active work order transactions assigned that are not voided and not yet finished. Once a valid warehouse is entered, applicable fields will become enabled.

Notes:

•If the Inventory Control module is not activated, this field is read only and shows the default main warehouse.

•If the Inventory Control module is not activated, you cannot drill-down on the Warehouse and U of M fields. In addition, you cannot click their corresponding Lookup buttons as the Warehouse Maintenance and Unit-of-Measurement Maintenance functions are not available.

3.In the Work Order # field, enter the work order that you want to issue component items. Alternatively, you may click the List box button to select the work order from the list. The work orders that will show in the list are those that are active and assigned to the warehouse selected, with at least one component item that is assigned to a Step # that is not yet done.

4.In the Issue Date field, accept or amend the default date which is the current system date. The date entered in this field is the date used as the transaction date.

5.In the Component Items grid, you may review the details of the components assigned to the work order you selected. Clicking the underlined field labels in the grid will access the maintenance record of the respective field.

6.To specify the component items issue quantities, you may click the respective buttons in the grid toolbar, as follows:

oIssue All

Click this button to simultaneously update the Issue Quantity fields for all the component items in the grid with the same value as its allocated quantity.

oIssue None

Click this button to clear the values in the Issue Quantity field for all component items in the grid and set it to zero.

oIssue Selected

Click this button to set the Issue Quantity field value of the currently selected component item with the same value as its allocated quantity.

oUn-issue Selected

Click this button to clear the Issue Quantity field value of the currently selected component item.

7.To manually specify the issue quantity per component item, click the field under the Issue Quantity column; then, enter the number of units in this field.

Note: Double-clicking the Issue Quantity field or the Bin field will display the Bins Nested tab for the selected component item. Any value or changes you enter in the Issue Quantity field in the Component Items grid will also reflect in the same field in the Bins Nested tab and vice versa.

8.Alternatively, you may click the Show/Hide () button next to the Step # column to show the Bins Nested tab for the component item. In the Bins grid, you may click the respective buttons in the grid toolbar:

oIssue All

Click this button to set the Issue Quantity field value equal to the on-hand quantity for all records in the grid.

oIssue None

Click this button to clear the Issue Quantity field for all records in the grid and set it to zero.

oIssue Selected

Click this button to set the Issue Quantity field value equal to the on-hand quantity of the selected record.

oUn-issue Selected

Click this button to clear the Issue Quantity field value of the selected record.

9.If the component item is either serialized or lot-controlled, double-click the Issue Quantity, Bin or Special field to show the Special Nested tab where you can select the serial or lot numbers to issue. To select a serial item number, enter "1" in the Issue Quantity field for each item you want to use.

10. The system automatically updates the value in the Bin field in the Component Items grid based on your selections in either the Bin or Special tabs. You may accept or amend the value in this field. If the issued component item quantity is from more than 1 bin, this field will show as "Multiple".

11. When you are ready to proceed, click the Save button from the function toolbar to save the transaction; otherwise, click the Cancel button to disregard any action you made on this screen.
