    1. By default, the Issued Date is the current day. To change the date, click the calendar icon and select a different date.
    2. Issued From is the site currently selected and cannot be edited.
    3. Issued To displays the site or reason inventory is being issued and cannot be edited.

      When selecting Issue items to fill an order, the Quantity Issued amounts are prefilled to the requested quantity and highlighted yellow.

      If there is not enough inventory on-hand to fill an order, the Quantity Available field will be highlighted red and you may need to adjust the Quantity Issued.

      Multiple inventory tags may exist for an item. You can click the plus + sign to expand the item. The system will always issue the closest expiration date first (if noted) or the oldest inventory tag to minimize spoilage of stock; however, you may manually adjust those numbers.
