You might need to issue a rebuildable item or asset from inventory to a maintenance work order. For example, a work order was issued for the inspection of a pump. During the pump inspection, you found that the motor, one of the components of the pump, is problematic. You can replace the rebuildable item by issuing a new motor rebuildable item from inventory. If you choose to perform a material issue from inventory, the old motor rebuildable item attaches to the work order, automatically creating the child, rebuild work order number associated to the parent work order. In this case, the Asset Number genealogy automatically updates to identify this new item number. See: Overview of Inventory Transactions, Oracle Inventory User's Guide.

You can execute a material issue transaction from the Stores tab page, within Maintenance Super User (See: Stores).
