## How to Stop Raw Material Issues Exceeding Job Order Requirements?
This tutorial explains how to **prevent excess raw material issuance beyond job order or BOM limits** during the production process in Logic ERP. This ensures **controlled material usage, accurate costing, and reduced wastage**.
***
### Access to Job Order
* Open the **Job Order** module.
* Select whether the job is assigned to:
* **Internal Worker**
* **External Party**
* Select the **worker's name**.
* Enter:
* **Item to be produced**
* **Required quantity**
* **Save** the job order document.
***
### Create Issue for Processing (First Process)
* Open **Issue for Processing – First Process**.
* Select:
* **Worker name**
* **Process name**
* Select the **Job Order** from the list.
* The job details will be auto fetched.
* **Save** the document.
***
### Issue Raw Material Against Job Order
* Open **Raw Material Issue Against Job Order – Internal**.
* Select:
* **Worker name**
* **Process**
* Select the **Job Order** from the list.
* **Production Issue**
* Press **F8** to calculate required raw material.
* Click **Refresh** to fetch linked BOM items.
* Select the raw material and **save**.
> At this stage, the system still allows excess quantity—no restriction is applied yet.
***
### Enable Restriction Settings
* Open **Configuration**.
* Go to **Raw Material Issue Settings**.
* Set:
* **Compare Issues Against BOM Option** → *Job Order BOM Defined*
* Enable:
* **Do Not Allow Issues Beyond BOM Scope**
* **Save** the configuration.
***
### Verify the Restriction in Action
* Repeat the **Raw Material Issue process**:
* Select worker, process, job order, and production issue.
* Press **F8** → Click **Refresh** → Select items → **Save**.
* Now try to:
* **Increase the raw material quantity beyond the BOM limit**
* On saving:
* A **validation message appears**
* The system **blocks the transaction**
* Only the **allowed BOM quantity can be saved**
***
### Final Result & Benefits
* Prevents **over-issuing of raw materials**
* Ensures **BOM compliance**
* Controls **production cost**
* Avoids **material wastage**
* Improves **process discipline and audit accuracy**
***
### Conclusion
By enabling the **“Do Not Allow Issues Beyond BOM Scope”** setting in Logic ERP, organizations can strictly control raw material consumption as per job order requirements. This not only improves **production efficiency and cost accuracy but** also ensures **transparent and disciplined inventory management**.
