Issue Methods

Material, labor, and outside processing transactions are automatically issued to a work order when using the Automatic or Backflush issue method. Use the Manual issue method to manually issue material, labor, and outside processing transactions to a work order.

The Automatic issue method automatically issues material, labor (if the Auto Generate Labor check box is selected on the Work Order Entry Additional tab), and outside processing (if the Auto Generate Out-Process check box is selected on the Work Order Entry Additional tab) transactions to the work order at the time the work order is released.

The Backflush issue method automatically issues material, labor (if the Auto Generate Labor check box is selected on the Work Order Entry Additional tab), and outside processing (if the Auto Generate Out-Process check box is selected on the Work Order Entry Additional tab) transactions to the work order at the time the work order is completed.

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