# Issues and Returns
## Issue Assembly
{% hint style="info" %}
️ Use **Issue Assembly** to issue a job assembly from inventory. Assemblies can be issued when the job assembly has specified a pull quantity from stock. Because the demand is for a sub-assembly part, this demand is different than a typical material requirement. Some of the quantity will be manufactured through a job, while the rest of the quantity will be pulled from stock. This stock quantity may be the result of overproduction on another job. When you issue an assembly to a job, these events occur:
* The **IssuedQty** and **TotalCost** values on the job assembly record are updated with the quantity issued and extended cost. **Extended Cost** is calculated as the issue quantity times the current inventory Average, Standard or Last unit cost (depending on the inventory costing method).
* The **Onhand Quantity** and **Allocated Quantity** for the part in the part master file are reduced by the quantity issued.
* Also, a transaction history record is created for the part. The inventory transaction type is **STK-ASM (job assembly issue)**. For more information on inventory transaction types, refer to the **Inventory Transaction Types List** within the **Inventory Transactions Technical Reference Guide**.
