If a material is deleted (whether by deleting the task the material is attached to or by deleting the work order itself), the system performs an inventory return. If all parts were originally dispersed from a single location, the return will be performed automatically without any user interaction. When parts are returned, they will be assigned the same cost as found in the work order (at the time of dispersal). The date of return will be the date the parts were deleted from the task or work order. The record of return will appear in the part history grid.
If a material is deleted and the material was originally dispersed from more than one location, the user will be prompted with a dialog to determine the warehouse(s) to which the parts need to be returned. The dialog window is similar to the dispersal dialog, but will read "Return Parts" instead of "Disperse Parts."
If there are not enough parts in inventory when a part is dispersed to a work order,"Inventory Understock" will be displayed in the part history. Any time parts are returned form a work order, the system will attempt to clear the inventory understock using the returned parts.
If the cost information is unavailable for a part, a cost of "zero" will be assigned.
If you accidentally select the wrong part and the dispersal dialog pops up, you must continue with the process and disperse the item (the system will not allow you to go back). Disperse the part from a single location and then go back and delete the material record. This will automatically return the part(s) back into inventory.
