Company (IC01.1)
Use Company (IC01.1) to begin the process of assigning company parameters in the Inventory Control application. This form requires you to enter the company number, name, item group, and costing method. Before you can assign a company number, it must be set up in the General Ledger application. Before you can assign an item group to a company, it must be set up on Corporate Item Group (IC00.1).
Processing Effect
The available-to-allocate calculation is used to determine how much inventory there is that can be allocated or reserved for open demand (customer orders or requisitions). Only open demand records that are allocated will print on the pick list in the Warehouse application.
The available-to-sell calculation is used to determine if a customer order will be allocated or backordered upon entry. If a customer does not allow backorders, the order cannot be entered.
Add each form related to this program in the number sequence order: Company (IC01.1),Period End Dates (IC01.2), Bin Usage Types (IC01.3). Otherwise, a message indicates that the company is incomplete.
You can select automatic numbering for assigning numbers to IC documents, rather than manually assigning document numbers.
More Information
Lawson Requisition Center is used to default the tasks and item lists allowed by the requester if they have not set up anything on Requesters (RQ04.1). You must define at least one task on IC01.1. If you do not assign any task to the requester, the form will not default the values from IC01.1, the application will default the company task. If you set up the tasks on RQ04.1, they will override the defaults from the company level.
Type a number in the task fields to allow the requester to perform that task. The order in which you enter them is the order the requester will see them on the list.
List only contract items allows the requester to see only items that are contracted.
List only internal items allows the requester to see only inventory items that are from the internal warehouse and therefore limits the request to only inventory items.
