Return Materials that were over-issued to a Production Order in Scan Materials

We have a customer that needs to be able to issue materials using the Scan Materials and then after the production run is completed, return the balance from the Production Order to inventory.  There is a remove function on the Scan Materials form but it only appears to work within an existing batch.  Entering a negative number causes an error that something else has updated the batch record.  If all of the material was issued initially, the user gets a message that the inventory would go negative when the Item Number is entered and does not allow you to advance to the Qty to return or remove.

Has anyone else created a customized Scan Materials form that allows the user to return materials from a Production Order?  The Materials will be lotted items as well.

We resolved this by creating a custom solution that executes a negative Material Issue transaction.  This particular customer is also consuming materials that are metered. They are entering what was consumed based on the counter on the machine and the form is doing the math to return the residual to inventory with the same lot code and print a product label.  Thank you for the response and we can discuss further at Summit if you have other ideas.

Hello, I have a potential customer who would like to do the same thing.

They pull a whole roll of aluminum from stock (with a certain weight), use that roll on a press to run a job and return the balance of the roll to stock.

I’ve been racking my brain on how to accomplish that.
