Material issue and return notes

Material issue note (MIN)

A MIN takes stock out of inventory for a job, project or work order, and moves its cost into work in progress.

1. Go to Operations and open material issues, then choose New issue.
2. Choose the job or work order, and the items and quantities.
3. Submit it for approval. The note moves from Draft to Approved to Issued.
4. Once issued, stock goes down and the cost moves to work in progress.

Material return note (MRN)

An MRN returns unused material to stock. It links to the issue it came from, and reverses the cost at the value it was issued at.

Returns can be partial — issue 80 units, use 79, return 1 — but you can't return more than was issued.
