Item/Material

The item number or code of the component item either displays or can be entered.

On the Current Materials, Current Operations, Estimate Materials, Job Materials, Job Materials Transactions, Production Schedule Item Materials, and Production Schedule Release Materials forms, enter or select the item number of a material needed on the job.

The item number is not required to be in the Items form. All non-inventoried items will be assigned a type of Other.

You can enter the same item multiple times on the same operation. A warning message appears when adding or updating an item that is already on the current operation. You can add up to 999 materials to an operation. You can enter text to describe the use, location, function, etc. of each job material record.

When you perform job material transactions, the quantity issued and costs will be the sum of those required for the item in an operation. Issues are distributed across the matching items within the operation.

On the Standard Materials form, this field displays the item number or code of the material used in the operation. If the item does not appear in the Items form, the Type field will display O, for Other. The same item may appear multiple times on the same operation for a job.
