Issue Materials for Handover
Objective
To issue materials to handover to a person.
Background
When receiving materials, they can be issued and handed over directly to a person or a project. See Post a Receipt. Alternatively, received materials can be stored in your inventory.
When materials move out of inventory, they must be picked from the inventory and issued to a person, project, or location. Materials can also be issued to a third party who is resolving a UOSD defect.
You can issue materials that were requested, using the issue ticket that was automatically created from the request. See Create a Request. Or, you can bypass the request process and issue materials directly by creating an issue ticket.
An issue ticket consists of one or more pick tickets. A pick ticket allows you to assign the picking task to an employee, and filter the line items in the issue ticket by location. The issue ticket is marked as 'Fulfilled' after all line items have been fully picked.
Things to Consider
Prerequisites
- Materials must be available in inventory to be issued.
- If issuing materials from a request, the request must be approved before materials can be issued. See Approve a Materials Request.
