Item Location (IC12.1)

Use Item Location (IC12.1) to set up item records. This form consists of location-specific item information. After you set up an item for one location, you can copy it to other locations. For inventoried items, set up at least one location in the Inventory Control application with at least one item location record in IC12.1.

More Information

You can set up item location records directly in IC12.1 or you can customize the item setup process to meet your specific needs in IC10.1 (Item Formats). If you customize your own item setup format, you can streamline the process of adding an item to the Item Master file in IC11.1 and/or to the Item Location file in IC12.1. Instead of using IC11.1 and IC12.1, you use IC10.2 (Item Master and Location).

Note: To default cost and vendor information for a nonstock item, set the Inventory Tracking flag to No in the IC12.1 (Item Location) Main form. You can use this feature when you order nonstock items in the Purchase Order and Requisitions applications.

In the Item field, you can use two methods for mimicking existing item locations (adding selectively or copying exactly).

Select the Add form action to create a new item location with selected information. IC12.1 creates a new record with the following information:

  • Information displayed on the visible form.
  • Information from any other IC12.1 forms displayed for the existing item.

Select the Copy form action to quickly add like item locations to the Item Location file. IC12.1 creates a new record exactly like the displayed record.

  • Inquire on the existing item.
  • Change the item number and other requested fields.
  • Select the Copy (Y) form action.
  • If needed, select the Change form action to change field values.
