Issuing stock
You must allocate stock before you issue it.
If you are using traceability The option to track materials through the system.

The process of issuing stock to multiple works orders is entirely automatic. You cannot amend the quantities to be issued during the process.
- Issue stock for single works orders.
The process of issuing stock for single works orders is manual and you can amend the quantities to be issued during the process.
You can fully or partially issue stock for single works orders. If you are using traceability The option to track materials through the system. This is usually by means of serial or batch numbers on the stock items., and the Stock Control module has been set to assign batch or serial numbers at despatch, you can confirm them.
To avoid delays in the production process, you can issue components to a works order when the cost of the component is not yet known. If you do this, the component cost which is represented on the works order is the historical cost of the item (or the standard cost, if appropriate).
When components use FIFO or Actual costing, the historical cost is overridden by the actual value during the process to close the works order. This ensures that the final cost is based on current and not historical values for such components.
