I/C Internal Usage Screen

Inventory Control displays the category code assigned to the item number you selected. To change the category, enter another category code in the Category column.

Enter comments you want to appear on the Internal Usage Posting Journal for the detail line. Use up to 250 characters.

When shipping items that use the user-specified costing method, enter the unit cost or the extended cost. You cannot enter costs when shipping items that do not use user-specified costing.

If you enter the extended cost or change it, the program calculates the unit cost. The program recalculates the extended cost if you enter or change the unit cost.

If you use multicurrency accounting, enter costs in your functional (home) currency.

Inventory Control automatically displays the description entered for the item in the Items screen. You cannot change it in the I/C Internal Usage screen.

Use this field to specify the item number of the item being shipped.

You can enter a manufacturer's item number that was associated with an item (using the I/C Manufacturers' Items screen). The program substitutes the inventory item number, and places the manufacturer's item number that you entered in the Manufacturer's Item Number column in the table.

Line numbers show the order in which each detail line is added to a transaction. They are assigned in sequence by Inventory Control and you cannot change them.

To insert a detail line ahead of an existing line (except for line 1), select the previous line and click Add Line. You cannot insert lines before line number 1.

To delete a line, select the check box at the beginning of the line and click Delete Line.

Use this field to specify the code of the inventory location from which you are shipping the units.

Locations in Inventory Control are either physical locations or logical locations.

You can ship goods only from a physical location.

If you entered a manufacturer's item number in the Item Number field, the program replaces the Item Number field contents with the inventory item number, and places the manufacturer's item number that you used in the Manufacturer's Item Number field (by default the last field in the table).

You must have already added the manufacturer's item number using the I/C Manufacturers' Items screen.

This column displays:

• No when this transaction detail does not include optional field information.
• Yes when there is optional field information for a transaction detail

If optional fields are set up for transaction details, you can add or change optional fields by clicking in this column and then clicking to open the Optional Fields screen. An optional field can be set up to automatically contain information; if that optional field is associated with transaction details, this column automatically displays Yes.

Note: Optional field information can pass to the General Ledger only if the optional fields are also assigned to the general ledger accounts.

Enter the number of units being shipped for internal usage on each detail line, expressed in the unit of measure selected for the detail line.

You can ship more units than are in stock if you turned on the Allow Negative Inventory Levels option in the I/C Options screen.

When shipping items that use the user-specified costing method, enter the unit cost or the extended cost. You cannot enter costs when shipping items that do not use user-specified costing.

If you enter the unit cost or change it, the program calculates the extended cost. If you enter the extended cost or change it, the program calculates the unit cost.

Use this field to specify the unit of measure for the quantity of items being shipped for internal usage. You can select only a unit of measure that is assigned to the item in the I/C Items screen.

Inventory Control automatically displays the stocking unit for the items being shipped.

Enter the expense or asset account to which you are debiting this entry. For example, this transaction might debit the Office Supplies expense account.

By default, the program displays the Internal Usage account that is specified in the I/C category that you selected for this inventory item.
