## How to Assign and Issue Raw Materials for the First Production Process?
In this tutorial, we will learn **how assigned raw materials are issued to a job order and how they are actually consumed in the production process in Logic ERP**. This process ensures accurate tracking of material movement, pending quantities, and actual utilization during production.
***
### **Generate a Job Order**
* Navigate to the **Job Order Creation** module
* Choose whether the process will be handled by an **Internal Worker** or an **External Party**
* For this demonstration, select **Internal Worker**
* Select the **Worker Name**
* Enter the **Finished Item** to be produced along with the **required quantity**
* Click **Save** to create the job order
**Important Note: Methods of Assigning & Issuing Raw Material**
Raw materials can be:
* Assigned and issued **directly against a Job Order**, or
* Assigned and issued **through the “Issue for Processing – First Process” document**
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate the **Issue for Processing – First Process** method.
***
### **Create Issue for Processing – First Process Document**
* Open the **Issue for Processing – First Process** module
* Select the **Worker Name**
* Choose the **Process** to be initiated
* Enter the **Processing Rate**
* Select the **Relevant Job Order**
* Verify that the job order details are retrieved correctly
* Click **Save** to generate the document
***
### **Assign Raw Material Against Issue for Processing – First Process**
* Navigate to **Assign Raw Material Against Issue – First Process**
* Select the **Issue for Processing – First Process Document**
* Click on **Assign Raw Material for Job Order**
* Select the **Raw Material Item(s)** to be assigned
* Enter the required quantities
* Click **Save** to confirm the assignment
Raw materials are now successfully assigned against the processing document.
***
### **Review Assigned Raw Materials (Before Issue)**
* Open the **Job Order Wise Raw Material Assigned Report**
* Generate the report
**Report Observations (Before Issue):**
* Assigned quantities are visible
* **Issued Quantity column is blank**, indicating no material has been issued yet
* Entire quantity appears under **Pending Quantity**, confirming availability for issue
***
### **Issue Assigned Raw Materials**
* Open the **Issue Assigned Raw Material – Internal** module
* Select the **Worker Name**
* Choose the **Relevant Job Order**
* Select the **Job Order Items** to issue
* Select the **Assigned Raw Materials** for those items
**During Issue:**
* All assigned raw materials and quantities are automatically retrieved
* You can:
* Modify quantities if required
* Remove any material you do not wish to issue
* For demonstration, remove the first raw material with quantity **4.**
* Click **Save** to complete the issue transaction
***
### **Review Post-Issue Status in Report**
* Reopen the **Job Order Wise Raw Material Assigned Report**
* Generate the report again
**Report Observations (After Issue):**
* Issued quantities are now reflected in the **Issued Quantity** column
* The raw material that was not issued correctly appears in the **Pending Quantity** column
* The report clearly distinguishes between:
* Issued materials
* Pending materials
***
### **Conclusion**
Issuing raw materials against job orders in Logic ERP helps you:
* Track actual material consumption
* Monitor pending and issued quantities accurately
* Maintain effective inventory control
* Ensure transparency in the production process
* Support cost tracking and production analysis
This structured approach ensures **accurate material utilization and efficient production management** within the system.
