Elaboration for “Issuing of Inventory”

AAsif5y ago
“Issuing of inventory When the production department requests materials for production, they will send a material requisition note to the stores. The stores will issue the material and update the inventory records. Any unused material will be returned to the stores together with a materials returned note and inventory records will be updated.” Hi sir, please elaborate on the above. Is it talking about factories here manufacturing goods ? Are the stores the factories where the material is being created out of the machinery ? I thought the Production Department would be within the factories creating the products from the machinery, instead of requesting the stores to create them. Also, please if you could rephrase the process explained above in a more elaborate and simpler manner. Thanks

The production department is manufacturing goods. In order to make the goods they will need raw materials (e.g. a company making desks will need to buy wood in order to be able to make the desks). When raw materials are ordered they will be held in stores until the production department requests them.
