MANUALS > Inventory > Inventory Module > Inventory, Update Menu > Inventory Transaction > Inventory Transaction Buttons > Manual Issue Button, via Inventory Transaction

The Manual Issue functionality is used to issue parts ‘over the counter’ in order to keep the line maintenance routine running. These parts are not issued with a picklist and are thus handled with the Manual Issue functionality. For the majority of parts, the Picklist Issue option should be used.

From the Inventory Transaction window, find the part that needs to be issued then select the Manual Issue button. The system displays the Manual Issue window as follows. Populate all mandatory and desired information and select the Save button.

Note: The system will validate Manual Issue transactions to ensure the Company for the materials being issued matches the Company listed for the W/O or A/C. This validation prevents Company Inventory from being issued to a Third Party Work Order or A/C with a different Company by prompting an error message. In order for the transaction to be valid the materials being issued must match the Company on the A/C or the Third Party Work Order.

Note: A Manual Issue transaction cannot be performed for a part that has already been reserved against a picklist. 

Note: The fields in the tabs in the lower portion of the window are informational.

Note: When Inventory switch ISSUENLAKIT is set to Yes, the user can manually issue an N/L/K P/N that exists under an N/H/K if the N/L/K P/N is identified with a Loan Category and the vendor code populated in the Owner field. If the N/L/K P/N's Owner field is not populated, the user will not be able to issue the N/L/K P/N.

The following information/options are available in this window:
