Note:  This is an optional field that can be activated or not, depending upon your needs.  Having this option turned on allows you to easily determine which material issues are billable and which ones aren't.  You can run reports that only include their billable time each month.  This option is found in Setup > General > Options > Show Billable Field.

If no purchase order or material requisition is created from a material issue on a work order, the Quantity Issued and Quantity Requested fields are set to the same value.

Once a material issue is created from a ready parts order, you can view the material issue on the Materials tab of the work order, as you would a non-PartsSource material charge created within TMS. The two differences are that material issues created from PartsSource parts requests cannot be edited within TMS, and the information contained on a PartsSource-related material issue. The information in a material issue created from a PartsSource parts request is as follows:

If an asset group is attached to the work order, an interim screen opens, and you will need to select a specific asset before proceeding to the ePartsFinder™ application.

Use our calculator tools to estimate your operation’s potential savings for upgrading your conventional lubricant to Mobil SHC™ oil or grease. Then contact an ExxonMobil engineer or authorized dealer to further refine your estimate.

The Asset BOM (Bill of Materials) grid shows a list of materials that were issued to an asset. TMS tells you the quantity that was issued. If the same material was issued to the same asset in different quantities, TMS displays the largest quantity issued. This is so you can see, directly on the work order, what materials and what quantity of the materials may be needed to complete the repair.

Our work with equipment builders has helped confirm the results from our own laboratory tests showing the exceptional performance of the Mobilith SHC Series lubricants. These benefits include longer grease life, enhanced bearing protection and bearing life, wide temperature range of application, and the potential for improved mechanical efficiency and energy savings.

Date Issued Time - This is the time that the material was issued.  This is the current time, but it can be changed if needed to indicate the actual time that the material issue took place.

Average Cost – When issuing a material from a warehouse, TMS populates the current Average Cost on the material record in the materials module.  This is multiplied by the Quantity to calculate the Total Cost of the material issue.  In the case of a material-on-the-fly, type in the cost of one material.

Note: The same material can be placed in multiple warehouses.  Also, if you are adding a material-on-the-fly, skip over the Warehouse field, even though it's required.  Go right to the Description field.

Date Issued – This is the date the material was issued.  This is the current date, but it can be backdated if needed to indicate the actual date that the material issue took place.
