Issuing Items from the Warehouse Introduction

Stock Items can be issued from the warehouse in two ways:  Directly or Indirectly.  In the direct method, a user physically goes to the warehouse to get the item, and an Over-the-Counter (OC) document is used to record the request and issuing of goods all in one step.  In the indirect method, the user does not go to the warehouse, but instead requests an item from a remote location.  In this case a Stock Requisition document (SRQ) is used.  The warehouse manager can then create pick tickets to have items bundled and sent to the requestor.  The Stock Issue Confirmation (CI) document records the issue of those goods and posts the accounting elements based on the purchasing method specified on the stock requisition document.  

Both approaches are discussed in the following sections:

• Direct Issuance

  Stock Items can be issued from the Warehouse directly by using the Over-the-Counter (OC) document.

• Indirect Issuance

  Stock Items can be issued from the Warehouse indirectly by using the following documents: Stock Requisition (SRQ) document Stock Requisition for External Customers (SRQE) document Pick and Issue (PI) document Stock Issue Confirmation (CI) document Stock Issue Confirmation for External Customers (CIE) document The Inventory Receivable Generation Chain Job creates Receivable for Inventory (REI) documents.  The REI documents reference Stock Issue Confirmation for External Customers (CIE) documents.  REI documents update the External Stock Return Issue Cross Reference (SNCIXREF) table.
