Dynamic Material Issues

Dynamic Material issues provide the ability to instantly record an inventory transaction for material that is issued for a work ticket. It is not necessary to update a register before the transaction is reflected in the work ticket and in inventory. The work ticket is updated and transactions are recorded in inventory when you click the Accept button in Work Ticket Entry.

The Daily Materials Usage Register must be updated to post relevant information to General Ledger.

Use the Issued field on the Materials tab in Work Ticket Entry to change quantities to reflect a material issue from inventory or to record a material return from the work ticket back to inventory.

To record a dynamic material issue from inventory for a work ticket, change the quantity in the Issued field. Note that this field is not available for items using the Lot or Serial valuation method. Instead, you must distribute the lot or serial numbers first, and then the Issued field reflects the distributions.

Dynamic Material issues are not allowed if the quantity issued would cause a negative value for the inventory-on-hand quantity. If you need to record a material issue that would result in a negative on-hand quantity, you must enter the transaction in Work Ticket Transaction Entry.

Note The Dynamic Material feature is available only if you purchased Sage 100 through a subscription plan. Otherwise, you must enter material issues through Work Ticket Transaction Entry.
