Actual material use for work orders

To track the actual quantities, locations, and costs for items used on an approved work order you use the Materials subtab on the Actuals tab in the Work Order Tracking application. You can copy data from an existing plan, modify this data to reflect actual events, or insert new data.

When you issue an item to a work order and it is not currently a spare part of the asset on the work order, the system might automatically add it to the spare parts list of the asset. The Add as Spare Part check box must be selected for the record in the Item Master application for the spare part list. You can insert new rows until you close the record, but can edit information only until you save the record.

You can report actual material use in the following ways:

Select multiple items at once.
Select items reserved in the inventory, based on the work plan.
Select spare parts for the asset.
Report materials individually.
