How to: Fill In and Post Material Journals

You can post the materials used for a work order in a material journal. Entries for nonstock items posted in a material journal have no effect on the general ledger. When entries for stock items are posted in a material journal, a negative adjustment is made to the item, which in turn affects the general ledger.
