Internal Issue
Use this to record when an item is being used by another area or department in your company. For example, your sales team might need to use some stock for a demo.
An internal area represents the department you are allocating the stock to.
Use the Internal Issue screen to record an item as being used by an internal area, without reserving it first. This reduces the stock at the warehouse.
Each Internal Area is associated with a Nominal Ledger account. If Nominal Ledger integration is enabled for Stock Control, this account will be used when the internal area is selected on an internal issue transaction.
The issue of multiple items and locations can be made at one time.
When to use internal issues, allocations and returns
You can record when items are removed from stock to be used internally and you can reserve some stock to prevent it being sold.
1. Create your internal areas if you have not already.
2. To record an item as being used by an internal area, without reserving it first, use this screen. This reduces the stock at the warehouse.
3. If the item is returned once it is finished with, use the Internal Return screen. This increases the stock at the warehouse.
These transactions are recorded in the stock history for the item.
