Item

Enter the item number that is associated with the item being ordered. You can choose an item from the drop-down list or enter a non-inventory item.

After entering the item number, if the item is in inventory, the description from the Items form displays directly under the field. The description is the first line of text for the item and if it is manually changed the description entered shows up in reports regarding the order. However, the description listed in the Items form is not affected by what is entered into this field.

Note: If the Show in Drop-Down Lists check box on the Items form is cleared for an item, it will not display in this field. However, you may manually enter the item without causing an error.

If the Product Configurator is used, entering an item designated as a Planning Item (where the Configuration Flag check box is selected on the Items form) prompts you for the configuration string. At the Config String prompt you may enter the configuration string manually or leave this field blank to access Product Configurator. You can use the following special format characters to specify the Config String:


Character	Description
&	Any characters or blank
A	A digit, letter, or blank
Z	A numeric digit
?	A character
X	A letter converted to upper case upon entry
