INVENTORY CONTROL > Usages from stock > Usage Work Area
The Usage Work Area is typically used to enter a number of inventory usages. If you only need to enter one or a few usages, you can also use Quick Usage Processing.
When usages are processed, inventory levels will be depleted, the applicable cost center’s history/budget will be charged and the usage transaction will show on various screen and reports.
The Inventory Usage Work Area can be a single Work Area shared by all users, or each user can have their own private Work Area, per the applicable setting in Inventory Options.
For more details, see About Usages.
