It isn't as bad anymore.
Used to be common practice, left over from the previous system.
Assemblers see parts in the machine shop that are needed for their job and... take them, finish their job using them.
But... the child jobs weren't processed or inventory moved yet.

So if a job "borrows" inventory before it is received, the job gets the "old" price (higher or lower), and the receipt generates a CST-ADJ to what's "on-hand" (the receipt qty minus the IOU qty).
