Work Order material transactions are done in system to issue & return material from inventory to work

orders. Work order completion transactions are done to complete a work order and receipt the new
finished good inventory. Similarly, work order returns are done to move material back from finished good
inventory to a work order.

WIP material issue transaction issues components from inventory to work orders to fulfil positive
material requirements. If you issue components under lot, serial, or lot and serial number control, you
must identify which lots and/or serial numbers to issue.

Materials under pull system (Operation & Assembly pull) are back-flushed during WIP move/completion
transaction. Material under push system needs to be manually transacted using WIP material transaction
form. If you consume extra material under pull system then you can issue the extra quantity using the
WIP material transaction form.

WIP material return transaction returns components from work orders to inventory. WIP inventory returns
reverse WIP inventory issues. If you return components under lot, serial, or serial number control, you
must identify the lots and/or serial numbers to return.

Materials under pull system (Operation & Assembly pull) are automatically returned during WIP
move/return transaction. Material under push system needs to be manually transacted using WIP material
transaction form to return from any work order.

All WIP material transactions, involving asset items, have financial impact and affects accounting
information in the system. When you issue an item from a specific location, system automatically credits
the account related to the From Location. Similarly, when you return an item in a specific location,
system automatically debits the account related to the To Location

All WIP material transactions affect the system on hand quantity of the transaction location, if the quantity
transacted has on hand tracking enabled. When you issue an item from a specific location, system
automatically deducts the on hand quantity from that From Location. Similarly, when you return an item
in a specific location, system automatically increases the on hand quantity of that To Location.

To transact, asset items, the Frozen cost should be available in this system; else system will show an
error message and wont change the on hand quantities.
Only inventory items are available for WIP martial transaction. If you have defined any item as non-
inventory item, then you cant do any inventory transaction for those items.
