(ITR users only)
You have the ability to mark a quantity sold of an item as "unusual usage." Each time you mark a quantity as unusual usage, a record is written to the Inventory Transaction Register (ITR).
If set up to do so in Options Configuration, the system can subtract the unusual usage amounts when you run the Order Point Report (ROP), in order to calculate an order point based on normal sales quantities.
There are four ways to create an unusual usage record in ITR:
In POS, mark the quantity as unusual usage when posting the item.
Configure your system to create an unusual usage record for a stocked item that is posted to a special order transaction and placed on a purchase order by the Generate Purchase Orders from Orders Report (GPO).
In ITR, mark a POS transaction as unusual usage to create the ITR record.
In ITR, enter a new ITR record for unusual usage that includes the quantity and the effective date.
Prior to creating unusual usage records, you must complete some setup procedures. Click the Related Topics button to get started.
