Defining item comments

Adding comments to items lets you keep important information with the item record itself. Each comment can include up to 99 lines of text, and the comments print on the following:

  • Item Master Listing (IC210)

  • Item Location Listing (IC211)

  • Intransit Shipping (IC110)

The comments you add are used in the Purchase Order, Order Entry, and Production Order applications also. Before you add comments to items, you must have set up the item, item group, and item comment type.
