Stock Issue Confirmation (CI) Transaction Type

The Stock Issue Confirmation (CI) transaction has a Header tab and three detail tabs: Commodity, Commodity Detail, and Accounting.

The Stock Issue Confirmation for External Customers (CIE) transaction recognizes that requisitioned items were removed from inventory and released to an external customer. In addition, it reverses the pre-encumbrance established by the Stock Requisition for External Customers (SRQE) transaction, and records revenue for the buyer and an expenditure for the seller.  

The Stock Issue Confirmation for External Customers (CIE) transaction has a Header tab and three detail tabs: Vendor, Commodity and Accounting. Different from the CI transaction, the CIE transaction has a Vendor tab, which lists the external customer information from the referenced Stock Requisition for External Customer (SRQE) transaction.

Every CI transaction must have at least one Commodity Line and each Commodity Line must have at least one Item Location line and one Accounting Line.

The CI transaction types require the same Requestor, Delivery, Commodity and Accounting information found on the referenced Stock Requisition transaction; only a few fields can differ between the Stock Requisition and Stock Issue Confirmation transactions.

The Issued Quantity of the CI/CIE can be less than the Requested Quantity of the SRQ/SRQE, in cases where stock items have been back ordered. The Issued Quantity of the CI/CIE can also be greater than the SRQ/SRQE Requested Quantity, but an overridable error is issued. Note: The Issued Quantity on an Issue Confirmation (CIE) transaction cannot be modified below the Closed Invoiced Qty. In order to reduce the Issued Quantity on a CIE, the Receivable (REI) referencing the Issue Confirmation (CIE) must be modified first. Additionally, the Unit Price on the CI/CIE can be different than the Unit Price on the Inventory Management table and the referenced SRQ/SRQE; however, an overridable error is issued when it differs from the Inventory Management value. The CI/CIE transaction cannot be processed for a stock item which is not active or which has been marked for “Physical Inventory count” on the Inventory table.  

Submission of a CIE transaction may result in the generation of a new or modification Receivable (REI) transaction by the Inventory Receivable Generation Chain Job.  The Inventory Receivable Generation Chain job will create only one Receivable for each Issue Confirmation. Modification to an Issue Confirmation (CIE) may result in the generation of a modification Receivable (REI).

Prior to creating a CI transaction, there are some tables that must be set up in the application. For details of the setup, go to Stock Issue Confirmation Transaction Setup
