image\field_bt.gifInternal Usage Form

Use this form to:

  • Record transactions that take items from inventory for your own company's use.

For example, an office supply store could take a desk from inventory for a new employee. Or it could take paper, pencils, and pens from inventory for office supplies.

  • Import internal usage transactions from other Sage ERP Accpac databases or from non-Sage ERP Accpac programs.

  • Export internal usage transactions.

  • Record items as fixed assets in Sage Fixed Assets.

  • Assign serial and/or lot numbers for internal usage of serialized/lotted items if you have the Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking license installed

If you use Sage Fixed Assets system (FAS) to manage the fixed assets in your company, you can also mark goods that are taken out of inventory for internal use as fixed assets. Sage ERP Accpac will transfer the asset information to FAS. See Using I/C with Sage Fixed Assets (FAS).
