Transaction
Manufacturing a product requires components and resources that use the components to build the product. inoERP provides several seeded manufacturing transactions to map and track the physical activities in the system. You can also define your own transaction types, journal profiles, and accounting profiles to map any unique process that is not industry standard.
Manufacturing transactions are create-only activities, i.e., You can only create these transactions; you cant update any of these transactions.
To correct any wrong transaction, create a reversal transaction ex: WIP Material Return, to rectify erroneous WIP Material Issue transactions.
Material Issue
A component issue transaction maps & tracks physically used components/materials during manufacturing processes. The transaction issues items from inventory to work orders to fulfill material requirements. Material issue reduces inventory on-hand and increases WIP valuation. You can use move transactions to issue materials to a work order automatically. You can set any component to be automatically consumed/ backflushed during move transaction by selecting the supply type to operation pull.
