More Information

This form also lets you assign comment types to item comments. Comment types, defined in Item Comment Types (IC00.2), let you group comments together into user-defined types. In addition, you can use Item Comment Report Options (IC00.3) to set up comment types to print on one or all of the previously listed reports. For example, if comment type S represents shipping instructions, set up the comment type to print only on the Intransit Shipping report (IC110). If you do not use comment types or choose specific report options, item comments print on all of the reports previously listed.

The picking type of comments print on the pick list for the Warehouse and applications (on WH130 and WO131, respectively). You can define which type of comments are to print on the Picking List and Packing List on Report Options (IC01.4).
