Change Inventory Control Processing Options
Overview
You cannot change settings on the Processing tab of the I/C Options form if other Inventory Control forms are open, or other users are working with the Inventory Control database.
Make sure that no one else is using the Inventory Control data and that no other Inventory Control forms are open for the company before you save changes.
Before
you start
-
Print the I/C Options report from the Setup Reports folder so you have a record of your processing options before you start.

If you are changing from updating costs during day end processing to updating costs during posting, you must first run day end to cost all outstanding posted transactions.
To change I/C processing options:
-
Open Inventory Control > I/C Setup > Options.
Click here for help on all Options fields.

Click the Processing tab.
These are the options you can select or change on the Processing tab in the I/C Options form.
