Items
Form — Overview
The Items form has four tabs: Items, Units, Taxes, and Optional Fields. The Serials and Lots tabs appear as well if working with a serialized and/or lotted item.
You use the Items form to:
-
Add new items, and change or delete existing item records.
-
Select the item structure and enter segment information for a new item number. (Click the Zoom button [
] to open the Construct
Item Number
form.)
Note that you can include blanks in your item numbers. This means, for example, that you can have two difference item numbers: "12 3" and "1 23".
-
Set item attributes, such as whether items are sellable, have serial numbers, are sold on the Web, are kits (a collection of other items), are kept in stock, etc.
-
Enter and revise picking sequences (or bin numbers), item weights, units of measure and tax information.
-
Add or change optional field information for items.
You must add items to Inventory Control before you can use them in transactions.
Allowing items at different locations
If you did not select the Allow Items At All Locations option in the I/C Options form, you must use the Locations form (in the Setup folder) or the Location Details form (in the Items and Price Lists folder) to specify which items you want to stock at each location.
