IC00.1 - Corporate Item Group

Use this form to add item group record(s) to the Inventory Control system.
Item group records identify a specific group of inventory items set up in the
Item Master file and define defaults and parameters for those items. When you
assign items to an item group, defaults and parameters indicate the following:

      Whether the system should audit Item Master activity.
      The number of default decimals on cost and price fields.
      Valid units of measure.
      Automatic requisition numbering and last requisition number.

You assign companies to item groups in IC01.1 (Company). If multiple
companies share the same inventory items, you need to set up items only once,
then assign the same item group to all companies. If multiple companies do not
share the same inventory items, you can set up unique item groups and assign
them to each company. You can only assign one item group to a company, but
multiple companies can share an item group.

You can define up to 12 units of measure at one time on this form. To add
more units of measure, select the Inquire form action to display existing
units of measure, then select the Change form action and Add line action to
enter additional units of measure.

IC00.2 - Item Comment Types

Use this form to add comment types to item group(s) already set up in IC00.1
(Corporate Item Groups). For example, you can set up comment type S to
represent shipping instructions.

You can designate item comments to print on selected reports.
- Use IC00.3 (Item Comment Report Options) for selected inventory reports
other than picking and packing lists.
- Use IC01.4 (Report Options) for picking lists and packing lists.

User definable, comment types group item comments set up in IC18.1 (Item
Comments). If you do not assign comment types to item comments in IC18.1, the
item comments print on all reports listed in IC00.3 and IC01.4. You can also
use comment types in the Order Entry, Purchase Order, and Work Order systems.
Report options vary in each system.

For example, if you set up the shipping comment type in IC00.2, you can use
IC00.3 to set up comments attached to the shipping comment type to print on
the IC110 (Intransit Shipping) report.

IC00.3 - Item Comment Report Options

Use this optional form to designate which item comments print on one or all
of the following reports:
   IC110 (Intransit Shipping)
   IC210 (Item Master Listing)
   IC211 (Location Master Listing)

Comment types are defined in IC00.2 (Comment Types).

Caution: If you did not assign comment types to item comments set up in
IC18.1 (Item Comments), the item comments print on all three reports.

The columns section of the form displays the comment types. The middle
section contains a list of reports. The lower section contains comment type
descriptions. To designate item comments for printing, type X across from the
report name and under each comment type letter requested.

For example, you want comments attached to the shipping comment type to print
on the Intransit Shipping report. Therefore, you type X under the Comment Type
column whose label matches the shipping description.
