Issues
An issue sends inventory to a different location. For example, when components are issued to a work order, they are removed from the stocking location and issued to the work-in-process (WIP) location. Inventory issues reduce quantities on hand at the issuing location.
Use Issues–Unplanned (3.7) to record miscellaneous inventory issues such as floor stock items sent to production or materials sent to engineers for testing. You can also issue items to a manufacturing order that closed from an accounting standpoint.
Use Issues–Return to Supplier (3.8) to tag an issue as a return. This is not a complete return since it does not update purchasing or receiving history, or current cost. To process a complete return, use functions in the Purchasing module.
