Issuing items from a storeroom

You use the Assets application to issue items to an asset. You also can use this application to return items from an asset to a storeroom. You can issue both rotating and non-rotating items, and you can issue items from different storerooms.

Procedure

  1. From the List tab in the Assets application, select the asset to which you want to issue items.
  2. Select the Issue Items from Storeroom action.
  3. In the Issue Items from Storeroom window, specify a default storeroom and/or a storeroom site from which to issue items.
  4. In the Associated Items table window, click New Row.
  5. In the Item field, specify the item you want to issue.
  6. In the Storeroom field, specify a storeroom.
  7. In the Quantity field, type the number of items that you want to issue.
  8. In the Transaction Type field, select ISSUE if you are issuing the item to the asset, or RETURN, if you are returning the item to a storeroom.
  9. Specify other values as needed:
    1. Depending on the item, you might be able to specify a bin, a lot, a work order, and other values.
    2. If you use general ledger accounts, specify them fully.
  10. Click New Row to add another item to be issued to the same asset.
  11. Click OK.

Example

For example, if you are configuring a laptop computer in the Assets application, you might need to issue software to it. Rather than opening the Inventory application to issue the software, you can use the Assets application to issue the software.
