Issues are not restricted to what the system has allocated. You can
override the selections manually. The work order and inventory balances
are updated only after approval of the quantities to issue from inventory.
The system does not prohibit shipments from using inventory already
allocated to another order. This makes timing important. The longer the
period between the time a picklist is printed and the time it is picked for
shipment, the greater the chances inventory will not be available when
you finally try to pick it.
In some instances, when an item is not available, it is possible to
substitute a different item—Philips head screws for slotted head screws,
for example. When this is required, first set up valid substitute
relationships in Alternate Structure Maintenance (13.15) or Item
Substitution Maintenance (13.19). When a substitute item is issued to a
work order, the requirement for the original component item is reduced.
Note If you enter additional quantities or negative quantities for an item
during Work Order Component Issue or a Work Order Receipt Backflush,
the quantity allocated cannot become more than the quantity required or
less than zero (0). It is set to the quantity required or the quantity open,
whichever is less.
Components issued to a work order are posted to WIP at GL cost.
