Item Formats (IC10.1)

Use Item Formats (IC10.1) to define user-defined item setup form formats. This form enables you to customize the item setup process to meet your needs.

Customizing your own format(s) streamlines the process of adding an item in IC11.1 (Item Master) and IC12.1 (Item Location). This form enables you to choose the fields you want to use, indicate the display order, specify the IC required fields, and enter field defaults.

You can set up multiple form formats, each being specific to the departments in your organization. For example, you could set up a format named PURCH for the purchasing staff to maintain item buying information. Use IC10.2 (Item Master and Location) to use item setup formats created in this form.

Note: Before you use this form, run IC180 (Dictionary Setup) to load the dictionary setup file. This file consists of all fields used in the Inventory Control application. You must type the company number and select the Inquire form action to view these fields before you can set up a format.
