INVENTORY CONTROL > Usages from Stock >
When you process a usage, you remove the item from stock (i.e. deplete inventory levels) and charge the value of the item to a Cost Center’s history and budget.
Inventory usage transactions will also update the item’s history and will show in the Usage Log and various other reports.
Inventory Usages can be entered manually in the Usage Work Area or with Quick Usage Processing where you can optionally scan an item’s barcode to reduce data entry and processing time.
Inventory Usages will also be posted automatically from other modules, such as when filling Item Requisitions from stock, when processing PM Work Orders and when processing a Bill of Materials Requirements Batch.
If required, usage transactions can be exported to other systems, such as to your Accounting or ERP System to post to the G/L. You can also import usage transactions from other systems to reduce data entry and processing time.
