You use this program to allocate floor Stock items to a job.
The screens for the WIP Issue Floor Stock Allocations program are displayed when you select the Create Job function from the Job Entry program if the bill of material (Structures and Routings) for the job has a floor stock item (Inventory Setup - Production tab) defined as one of its components.
If a General Ledger account used in this program requires General Ledger analysis (General Ledger Codes or GL Structure Definition), then the GL Analysis program is displayed when you post the transaction, enabling you to enter the analysis details or to select to enter them later (see General Ledger Integration). General Ledger analysis entries are always distributed in the local currency, irrespective of the currency in which the original transaction is processed.

This screen is primarily displayed for information purposes, however you can define the bin from which the floor stock item must be issued if you selected the setup option: Multiple bins (Inventory Setup - General tab).

| Rev/Rel |
This indicates the revision and release for the floor stock item if it is defined as ECC controlled (Inventory Setup - Tracking). The revision and release defined against the bill of materials is used (see Structures and Routings). The wording for this field defaults to Rev/Rel, but is replaced by whatever wording you have assigned to these user-defined fields (Bill of Materials Setup - Control tab). |

| OK | Select this to return to the Job Entry program. |
| WIP Issue Floor Stock Allocations | If errors occurred which prevented the system from allocating the floor stock item, then the message: 'Floorstock issue not complete. Please process outstanding issues via specific issues' is displayed. This means you need to use the Specific Issue function of the Job Issues program to issue the floor stock item(s) to the job, once the error(s) are rectified. |
| Cancel | Select this to exit the program. |
Irrespective of your selection at the setup option: Stock on hand allowed to go negative (Inventory Setup - General tab), items defined as Floorstock which are stocked in the Floorstock warehouse (WIP Setup) will always be allowed to go negative at the time of confirming a job (Job Issues) or when Backflushing (Inventory Movements), regardless of your warehouse settings.
If your Costing method is defined as FIFO (Inventory Setup - General tab), then a new FIFO bucket is created with a negative quantity when there is insufficient stock in the warehouse to issue the floorstock allocation.
You cannot issue floor stock if the Inventory and Work in Progress modules are not in the same month and year.
