Defining the Manual Issue Method

The Manual issue method allows you to accurately record material, labor, and outside processing transactions issued to a work order as they are used in the manufacturing process. The increase in the amount of manual data entry required for this method is offset by the accuracy of inventory valuation and quantity in stock. You can specify the Manual issue method for a work order by selecting Manual in the Issue Method field on the Work Order Entry Header tab.

Use the Manual issue method to issue individual material, labor, and outside processing transactions to the work order. If this method is used, material, labor, and outside processing transactions are issued to a work order by manually recording these transactions using Work Order Transaction Entry.

Regardless of the issue method specified for a work order, you can always manually enter material, labor, and outside processing transactions in Work Order Transaction Entry after the work order is released.
