TRAX MANUALS > Inventory > Inventory Module > Inventory, Update Menu > Inventory Transaction > Inventory Transaction Buttons > Lost Button, via Inventory Transaction

The Lost button is utilized to remove a lost P/N from Inventory. The Lost feature functions similarly to that of the Scrap, but allows users to easily restore the original lost part, if found, using the P/N Initial Load button, via the Inventory Transaction History Query for the 'LOST' Transaction Type. Using this method will preserve the original batch number of the component, as well as all other mandatory information that was previously entered for the part. The user will only be required to specify the part's current location and bin after it was found.

To mark a part as lost, select it using the Hand pointer and click the Lost button. The following Lost window will be displayed:

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Location

The Location for maintenance events, inventory stores, orders, transactions, or training events.

Bin

The specific storage bin within the inventory location.

Qty

The quantity of parts lost. For rotables, this field is auto-populated with the number 1, since rotables are serialized and will always show up individually in the Inventory Transaction screen. For consumables, this field will be open for editing if more than one part is to be moved to the selected bin.

Lost Code

The code of the part that is lost, set in the Lost Code Transaction Code.

Market Value

Market value for the part.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Note: The system will display the location and bin of the selected part, as well as the quantity of parts in that location and the current market value (taken from the P/N Master, Costing tab). The quantity field is auto-populated with the full quantity of parts on that location/bin.

Enter the Lost Code for this transaction. A pre-defined pop-up selection window displays with a right-click. These codes are defined by the user's company in the System Transaction Codes.

Select the Save button to finalize the process. A soft warning will appear if the part is not flagged as unserviceable.

Financial journal entries are written and the Fixed Asset Records will adjust as required. 'LOST' transaction financials will be added to the VALUE/ADJ column once the reconciliation report is ran; this will then be reflected in the Inventory Balance report.

A Lost Form will print out after selecting Save.

Additional information can be included through the Notes and Image buttons.
