1. Inward

Material Inward into a Site's inventory maybe received through the following means

• Material Received against a Purchase Order:
  • When a Vendor delivers material to a site, an MRN (Material Receipt Note) is created at the Site. The MRN notes the quantity delivered, quantity accepted, quantity rejected and reason for rejection.
  • Once the MRN is created and approved the stock is accepted into Inventory and can be used for Consumption/Issue.
  • The appropriate accounting entries are also created.
  • The process for creating an MRN is:

• Cash Purchase:
  • Often due to immediate requirement at the site - material may need to be purchased and taken into inventory through a local purchase without PO.
  • To support this functionality users may create a Cash MRN/Cash Purchase.
  • The process for creating a cash MRN is:

• Customer Material Issue (Material Received from Customer) :
  • There maybe items (material) that is issued by the Client (Customer) as part of the Contract.
  • These items maybe chargeable (i.e. will create a liability of the part of the contractor to be adjusted in the bill) or maybe free issue has no impact on the rate that the contractor will charge to the client.
  • Customer Issue is supported through the following process:

• Production Plant Stock:
  • Material that is produced in-house through owned machinery can be tracked using the Production Plant Stock functionality in the Plant & Machinery module in OMNI.
  • This functionality is used for items such as Ready-Mix, Hot-Mix, Blocks etc. that are produced and then transferred to a Job for Execution.
  • Once transferred to a job they become part of that Job's inventory and can be used for Issue.
  • The Cost of the Material tracked for nominal purposes and is part of the Job Cost - however no accounting entry is created for this material.
