How can I transfer job material from one job to another job?

I believe this would only be a two step process

  1. Return Material from Job to where it was Issued or Back flushed from
  2. Issue to other Job/Assembly/Material Sequence

if it is a Purchase Direct, that is a different process

Thank you, Scott, but direct job transfer, is doable without return material?
I want to know , how we can move material from job to material request que ?Any idea on it …
Because there are two screens available by standard, move material and material request que …
Can we achieve material transfer through these screens ?

I do not know AMM enough to know what happens with the moves. We have AMM, was here before I got here and for what I was told they tried to use it, didn’t fit/work and then was not used. But I have to believe that AMM does not do those transactions automatically, because the material, for proper transactions, needs to be un-issued so that it removes the qty/cost form the job and then re-issued so those get to the other job.

Those 2 screens are for moving material from one location to another, not one job to another. As @slitzau noted, you would need to do a return material to take the material off the first job, and than an issue material to put it (and its cost) on the second job.

What if it is Purchase Direct, what would the process be?
thanks,

Same process. You would need to return the material to inventory and then issue to the other job.

It depends on if the part is in the part master. If it’s not, you can’t return it from the job and issue to another job. If the receipt hasn’t posted or didn’t go through inspection, you may be able to delete the receipt, update the PO release to the new job and re-receive.
If it is posted or went through inspection, we’ve had to do job cost adjustments. We exposed the “Issued Complete” box in the materials grid on the new job and checked that box to eliminate a new PO suggestion/PO. We also added comments to both jobs indicating what we did in case someone uses either job as a starting point for another order.

The part is in the part master, and it is usually after the receipt has been posted / going through inspection.
Yes, my only worry is the cost, since we use average costing, if we purchase direct and we return then issue, it will use average cost instead of the direct purchase cost.
For the Issue Complete box, is it an automated process for you guys? for just a manual one?

It’s a manual process to check the issue complete box. It’s not available in the materials grid out of the box, you have to personal and unhide.
For the average costing, it updates when it tracks through inventory. I would test it in a test environment first.
