Parts previously issued to job missing/damaged

All,

I would like to know what the best way is to transact parts previously issued to a job but somehow end up damaged or missing in getting to the workfloor.

We are Std Cost, and buy to job. Parts get lost in the shuffle or get damaged from time to time. I wanted to use Return Mtl from Job, create a non-nettable bin and adjust the qty out from time to time. I like the fact that we right away see that a part is missing and get a suggestion to buy. I don’t like that the cost gets reduced on the job as soon as I return the part. For these specific cases I would like to be able to keep the cost on the job and would love to assign a reason code.

I can do a Job Adjustment, but that doesn’t affect Qty beyond Job. So no effect on Purchasing or Inventory.

Obviously we don’t have the QA module. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Paul

We issue additional material to the job above what was originally needed per the bill of material. We do actual job costing, but in a standard cost environment, it would be a job with a variance.
