Use the Change Posting Period program to indicate the month into which to post transactions. You cannot post transactions to an Inventory month that is closed.

You can post transactions to the current or previous two months, providing that the access status of the month is set to open (Work in Progress Setup).

This option is only available if Work in Progress is integrated to General Ledger in detail or summary (General Ledger Integration).

This only applies after you have posted at least one transaction against the job in the current run of the program.

If the message: 'Actual cost bucket error. Do you want to cancel out of this kit issue?' is displayed, then run the Balance function of the Inventory Period End program and select the Recalc. actual cost original receipt qty option to adjust the cost buckets.

Refer to Processing for processing details when using Actual Costing.

Substitutes the material allocation for the line currently highlighted in the Kit/Specific Issues list view with another item (see Substitutions).

The line in the list view must be selected (i.e. a tick must exist in the Select column of the list view).

You can substitute an ECC item with the same ECC item, but with an alternate revision and release.

	This option is available only if you enabled the Allow substitution in kit issues and Allow kits with shortages to be issued options (Work in Progress Setup). It is not available for items with an the ECC consumption method for components Deplete oldest (Structures and Routings).

Once allocated, the issue is marked as complete and any reserved lot/serial quantities against the allocation are reversed.

Select this to issue the allocations assigned to the job based on the entered kit quantity.

	If you selected the Review material issues preference, then you use the Post function from the WIP Job Issues screen to post the transaction.

If the stock item is traceable, serialized or multiple bins are installed, then the Lots Bins Serials Posting program is loaded to enable you to allocate the lots, bins and serials for the item being issued. Lots and bins can be automatically depleted if automatic depletion is being applied in kit issues (Inventory Setup). However, if the stock item is serialized, then the serial numbers must still be allocated as serials are not automatically depleted.

If you selected to reserved lots and/or serials for allocations (Work in Progress Setup) then the WIP Reserve Lots & Serials Maintenance program is loaded, enabling you to reserve the lots/serials required for the allocation. If a sub-job was created for the allocation, the lots and serials are reserved against the parent item for the sub-job.

When you kit issue labor, the kit quantity (i.e. the quantity of the finished item to manufacture) is used to calculate the labor times to post and the quantity completed is updated with this quantity against the labor allocations.

Materials are automatically issued from the warehouse to use defined against the component (Stock Codes). To issue the components from a different warehouse, you need to select the option: Override components warehouse to use when creating the job and specify the warehouse from which the components must be issued (Job Entry). Alternatively, you can use the Review Materials function and change the warehouse to use against each individual material allocation. Another option is to process a specific issue.

Refer to Processing for processing details when using Actual Costing.

This function is only displayed if you selected the Review material issues preference.

Indicate the quantity of the finished item to manufacture.

This defaults to the outstanding quantity to be manufactured.

You can enter a negative quantity to return a previously issued kit back into stock, but the program ensures that the quantity returned doesn't exceed the total quantity already issued. Any previously reserved quantity for the allocation is not reinstated. You need to use the WIP Reservations Review program to manually adjust the reserved quantities for the allocation.

You cannot issue a quantity greater than the quantity outstanding against the job if, against your operator code, the condition: Kit Quantity > Job Outstanding Qty is denied for the eSignature transaction WIP Kit Issue (eSignature Setup).

If the item is lot traceable and you issue more than the original job quantity, then you are prompted to enter a concession number for each of the lot traceable components (see Concession Number).

Enter a reference for the job. The reference applies to both Material and Operation issues.

This defaults to the job number entered.

The reference you enter here is printed on the following reports:

This reference is also displayed by the WIP Browse on Labor Details and WIP Query programs.

Enter up to 45 characters to print on the journal report after the transaction details.

The notation only applies to Operation issues (i.e. it is an Operation reference).

The notation you enter here is printed on the following reports:

This notation is also displayed by the WIP Browse on Labor Details and WIP Query programs.

This reference only applies to Material issues.

This option is not available if you selected to issue only materials.

You typically use this option to post materials for production over-runs or possibly to fix a previous posting error.

The quantity completed against the labor allocation is subtracted from the total quantity to manufacture to work out what is outstanding.

This allows you to over-issue labor.

You typically use this option to post labor for production over-runs or possibly to fix a previous posting error.

The warehouse from which the material must be issued.

This defaults to the default warehouse defined against your operator code (Operators), but can be changed.

This indicates the stock code of the item to issue to the job.

If the item is a co-product of the job and is being issued to the notional part, the following message is displayed: "You are issuing a Co-product which exists for the job. Do you wish to continue?" If you select Yes, then the required co-product is issued back into the job and the full cost apportionment will be for that co-product (i.e. the cost apportionment for this issue is allocated 100% to the co-product. This situation could occur if, for example, the co-product needs to be reworked.

If the stock code is on partial hold, then a message to this effect is displayed, but you can still post the transaction (see Stock Code On Hold Maintenance).

The first time a non-stocked item is issued, a material allocation is added. Subsequent issues of the same non-stocked item to the job use the description from the first material allocations table even if the description is changed.

Specify the revision of the stock item to issue, if the item is defined as ECC controlled (Stock Codes).

You can only specify a Revision if the item does not exist as a material allocation.

This is the default wording for this function, but is replaced by whatever wording you defined for these user defined fields in the Bill of Materials Setup program.

Specify the release of the stock item to issue, if the item is defined as ECC controlled (Stock Codes).

You can only specify a Release if the item does not exist as a material allocation.

This is the default wording for this function, but is replaced by whatever wording you defined for these user defined fields in the Bill of Materials Setup program.

Enter the quantity of the item to issue to the job.

If you performed a kit issue and selected the option: Allow issue to completed material allocations, then you can process a specific issue to issue an additional quantity of the component. A warning message is displayed.

If the item is lot traceable and you issue more than the original job quantity, then you are prompted to enter a concession number for each of the lot traceable components (see Concession Number).

To reverse a previous issue, enter a negative quantity. The reversal quantity must be less than the quantity originally issued, however, you can enter a negative quantity to issue for a component if the quantity per, quantity required and quantity to issue are all zero in the Bill of Materials for that component.

When you process a negative issue for an ECC controlled, bulk issue item, you are not prompted for a lot number, as the allocation only affects costs and not quantities.

The activity WIP Allow over-issue for allocations and eSignature WIP Specific Material Issues control whether you can issue a quantity greater than the quantity outstanding for the job.

See Activity considerations and eSignature considerations in Notes and warnings.

This applies if you defined units of measure other than only the stocking unit of measure against the component stock item (Stock Codes).

This defaults to the Manufacturing unit of measure defined against the stock code when the Use manufacturing unit of measure option is enabled (Work in Progress Setup) even when the stocking and manufacturing unit of measure are the same (e.g. both defined as EA). This does not apply to a soft phantom.

This field is disabled for a soft phantom component as only the stocking unit of measure is allowed for soft phantom components.

This field is not cleared between job issues, but you can use the following VBScript to clear this field after a new job or new stock code/warehouse/allocation is entered:

Indicate a valid ledger code to which to distribute the cost of the item.

This field is available when the Request ledger code for option is enabled for Issues (Inventory Setup).

When you process a specific issue for a non-stocked, hierarchical job and a WIP ledger code is defined for the allocation against the hierarchy, then that ledger code is used (i.e. the ledger code held against the job is ignored).

You cannot access this field when the Work in Progress is not linked to the General Ledger, and when Work in Progress is linked to the General Ledger as report only, then the ledger code is displayed for information purposes, and cannot be changed.

If the stock item is traceable, serialized or multiple bins are installed, then you use the Lots Bins Serials Posting program to allocate the lots, bins and serials for the item being issued.

Lots and bins for an existing allocation can be automatically depleted if automatic depletion is being applied in kit issues (Inventory Setup) and the Job Issues preference: Specific issue option - Auto deplete lots and bins is selected. However, if the stock item is serialized, then the serial numbers must still be allocated as serials are not automatically depleted. If you are processing a new allocation, then you must enter bins and lots where applicable, irrespective of the preferences set.

If you issue a quantity greater than what is required for a traceable stocked item, then you are prompted for a concession number before you can complete the posting process.

If you are using FIFO/LIFO costing and you entered a negative quantity, you are given the opportunity to process the transaction into a specific FIFO/LIFO bucket (see Adjust Specific Bin).
