This process is crucial for ensuring inventory stock accuracy and for crediting the cost of unused materials back from the total production or Work Order cost.

Workflow & Integrated Business Process

• This module is the reverse process of Goods Shipment (material issuance to production).

• After being confirmed and approved, this transaction will:

  • Add the stock quantity back to the warehouse.

  • Create a journal to credit the cost from the Production Work Order (SPK), making the actual production cost calculation more accurate.

Tips & Important Notes

• Recording the return of leftover material is crucial for the accuracy of the final production cost and stock data.

• This is an important module for Production Supervisors and Warehouse Staff.
