Returning Materials

You can return any material back to a warehouse if the warehouse’s inventory group is allowed to accept returns.

For more information on returning consignment inventory, see Returning Consigned Inventory.

Overriding GL Accounts

APM automatically derives a GL account for charges to an asset or work order task based on the site’s accounting settings. You can override the derived maintenance GL account for labor, direct purchases, and inventory usage charged to an asset or work order. When the account number is overridden, the replacement account number is used on subsequent documents and transactions (work order requirements, timecards, issue transactions, purchase order lines, and receipts). The option to override a GL account is available only if the work type has been set up to allow the override.
