Maintain Already Issued Material {SDGUIS-4}


This option is similar to the function available within the registration program to indicate study material issued to the student via an agent.


Only the outstanding items can be sent to the student.  If an agent is involved in the registration process all study material to be issued to the student will get a status of “P” for processing.  The user needs to indicate that no items were given or that, material was issued by the agent.  This will then change the status of the material to “N” for Normal (no other procedure is available to change the status).  The postal issue program {FPMO4-25} will issue all outstanding study material with a status of “N” to students.  If the user did not indicated during registration {SDREGA-1} the material already issued to the student, this option can be used for the same purpose.  


The SOD on {SMNT-12} SR/RE Study Guide default Issued Quantity can be set to 'Y'.  This will change the standard functionality to make the Issued Quantity a display only field where the value defaults to the Requested quantity.
