The material slips generated during the production process are recorded and tracked using Material Slips option located in the right mouse button menu of the Production Orders window.
When the production order is recorded for the first time, the material slips with "Planned" status that are related to the production and work order are automatically generated by the LOGO application. The generation of material slips with "Actual" status and the unit price assignment for transactions depend on the default value of the Automatic Material Withdrawal parameter specified in the Plant Parameters of each material. The automatic material withdrawal parameter allows new slips to be generated automatically.
The default value of the automatic material withdrawal parameter is specified using the plant parameters option located in the right mouse button menu of the material record of input materials. The Automatic Material Withdrawal parameter contains the following options:
- Will Not Be Done
- Will Be Done When Production Order Proceeded
- Will Be Done When Production Order Completed
When Will Not Be Done is selected, the slip with "Planned" status generated when the production order is recorded will not be transformed into "Actual" status depending on the status of the order. In such cases, the actual slips are recorded by the user when the production is completed.
The effects of the work order status and the selection made in the Automatic Material Withdrawal window on the actual slip status and material totals are shown in the table below:
Conditions / Events | Material Slips | Material Totals | |||||
Automatic Material | Work Order Status | Usage | Scrap | Warehouse | Inputs from Production | Outputs from Production | Production Inputs |
| Not Started | Planned | Planned | Planned | Planned | Planned | Planned |
Work in Process | Planned | Planned | Planned | Planned | Planned | Planned | |

In the LOGO application, the Planned Remaining quantity of the planned transactions is checked while the actual slips are generated according to the automatic material withdrawal parameter. If actual slips are generated for the actual quantities of the transactions in question before the Automatic Material Withdrawal is performed, the automatic withdrawal quantity becomes the planned remaining quantity.
Actual slips generated for the planned remaining (quantity) update the planned and actual quantities of the material transactions in question.
This change updates the daily inventory transactions as well. If all the actual slips are generated for these planned transactions before the automatic withdrawal, the withdrawals are completed for the material. Therefore, automatic actual slips are not generated.
The negative inventory level check is performed when the usage, scrap and warehouse transfer slips are issued. The check is performed in accordance with the default value of the Negative Inventory Level Check parameter located in the Definitions menu of the Administration section. When the slips are generated, unit prices are assigned to transactions for which "By Company Costing Method" is selected.
The Actual Quantity Entry window is opened in the production orders with "Work in Process" or "Completed" status according to the automatic material withdrawal parameter, and the actual material slips are generated. The Serial/Lot/Location information is recorded using Batch Serial / Lot / Location Info Generation option located in the right mouse button menu while the actual slips are being generated.
