If it's a rotating asset, then when you have finished fabricating, you would need to create an asset record, right? When the asset moves to the storeroom, the balance should get updated.

This is interesting, to me anyway.
A rotating asset can be ordered from a vendor to replenish stock. It can also be fabricated in-house. Stock replenishment follows a typical PR->PO routine. Fabrication involves a workorder to track labor and materials (which are sometimes items), and then a manual adjustment to the stock to account for this newly-fabricated asset.
Question: how can we avoid the manual adjustment and make this a move/ transfer that updates stock levels automatically (like a receipt of a PO line item would)?
My first thought was setup an internal vendor, do the work, create an internal PR and PO to "reorder" the item, receive it, close the PO... etc, and that would do it. It seems like a lot of effort, and I told my end user as much. Still, I wondered if it could be solved any other way.
Ideas? Thoughts?
