For the use case, creating PO for Non-rotating materials in Purchase Order without charging to any work order, by Receiving to increase the balance for inventory stock, when issue the Non-rotating material to the different work orders, how the single work order can associate the issued Non-rotating material from any one of PO?

Let me see if I've read this correctly

  1. Raise a PO for a non-rotating item
  2. Charged the store
  3. Received the stock - Store balance increases
  4. Issued the non-rotating item - Store balance decreases

Now for the confusing bit.  You mentioned "how the single work order" and "different work orders".  So, which is it?  Single or multiple?

When you issue the non-rotating item, you can charge it to a single work order i.e. issue 10 to W/O 1818919.

or

Issue 8 to W/O89979 and a further 2 to W/O899765.  = multiple W/O

---

End of the day, you create a PO and charged to work, there is no work order involved.  When you then issue the item, then a work order is involved, but there is no connection to a PO.  You can directly charge the PO to a work order, which upon the receipt will issue the item to the work order, but there is no storeroom involved.

Can you clarify, your question or does what I've answered with resolve your question?

Hi Craig,

    Thank you very much for your questions, sorry that I did not write clearly.

   Base the example you made, I have two use cases as below:

1) Created 2 POs not charged to any work order, each PO include the Non-rotating Item A with 10 PCs, received and increased stock in same bin of same storeroom with 20PCs, when issue 10 PCs for one work order W/O1818919, is it possible to associate this work order to any one of the 2 POs? just like  link WO to the PO with FIFO concept.

Additionally, if issue 15 PCs for this work order, is it possible to associate the one work order to the two POs?

2) Still follow the examples, created 2 POs not charged to any work order, each PO include the Non-rotating Item A with 10 PCs, if put each 10 PC of one PO to one bin, so total 20 PCs Item A from 2 POs will locate in two bins of one storeroom, when issue 10 PCs from one of the 2 bins for one work order W/O1818919, is it possible  this work order to associate one PO?

    I hope my questions will be more concrete than before, please let me add if any unclear, thanks lot.
