Managing HQ Materials
HQ Materials is the material master for inventory and for materials used on AP / purchase orders. Vendor-specific costs on the material can flow into PO commitments.
Before you start
- Have material IDs, descriptions, categories, and vendor costs ready.
Steps
- Open HQ Materials.
- Add each material you track in inventory or buy on POs.
- Enter vendor-specific costs so purchase orders can pull accurate commitment amounts.
- Use material activity and counts to support physical inventory and monthly reconciliations.
Notes
- Bad material or cost data feeds wrong PO commitments and inventory values.
Tips
- Organize materials with HQ Material Categories.
