Change Inventory Item Descriptions Using the Items Wizard

Overview

To change inventory item descriptions:

1. Open Inventory Control > I/C Items and Price Lists > Items Wizard.

Note: The Items Wizard leads you through all of the information in the Inventory Control module that is related to items.

Click here for a list of the individual inventory item information forms.

2. Click the Next button to move to the first item information page.

3. Click the Finder button () next to the Item Number field, and then select the code for the item record that you want to change.

4. Change the Item Description immediately below the Item Number field.

This new description will appear when you look up item numbers using the Finder in Inventory Control, Order Entry, Purchase Orders, and Project and Job Costing forms.

However, you should also change the item descriptions for price lists, and you can add comments regarding the changes to Customer Details and Manufacturers' Item Numbers.

5. Click the Next button to move to the second information page. Change the Additional Item Information, if necessary, to match the description change.

6. Click the Next button until you reach the Item Pricing page. Double-click the description field to edit the item description for each of your price lists.

This is the description that will appear by default on new detail lines in the Order Entry module.

7. Click the Next button until you reach the Manufacturers' Item Numbers page. You may want to note the name change in the Comments field.

8. Click the Next button to reach the Customer Details page. Again, you may want to note the name change to prevent possible confusion.

9. Click the Done button whenever you wish to save your changes and leave the Wizard.
