IC01.1 - Company

Use this form to begin the process of assigning company parameters in the
Inventory Control system. This form requires you to enter the company number,
name, item group, and costing method. Before you can assign a company number,
it must be set up in the General Ledger system. Before you can assign an item
group to a company, it must be set up in IC00.1 (Corporate Item Group).

The available-to-allocate calculation is used to determine how much inventory
there is that can be allocated or reserved for open demand (customer orders or
requisitions). Only open demand records that are allocated will print on the
pick list in the Warehouse system.

The available-to-sell calculation is used to determine if the items on a
customer order are available for selling. If a sufficient quantity is not
available, the order cannot be added.

Add each form related to this program in the number sequence order: IC01.1
(Company), IC01.2 (Dates), IC01.3 (Bin Usage Types). Otherwise, a message
indicates that the company is incomplete.

IC01.2 - Dates

Use this form to set up company period information. The Inventory Control
system uses this information to:

              1) Control general ledger posting dates.
              2) Control transaction dates.
              3) Determine history and forecast periods.
              4) Recapture data for use in management reporting.
              5) Calculate average inventory.

Important: After you begin entering inventory transactions, you cannot change
period ending dates. If you manually change or close periods, IC242
(Transaction Audit Report) will use inaccurate data to calculate period ending
quantities and IC190 (Closing) will miscalculate the average inventory cost.

IC01.3 - Bin Usage Types

After you define company options in IC01.1 (Company) and inventory period
dates in IC01.2 (Dates), the system transfers to this form to set up bin usage
types. You assign bin usage types to bins in IC15.2 (Bins) to control the type
of transaction used against a bin, such as issues and receipts. You can define
up to nine bin usage types.

IC01.4 - Report Options

Use this optional form to designate which item comments print these reports:
    WH130 (Pick List Print)
    WH224 (Packing List Print)
    WO131 (Pick List Print)

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

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

The columns section of the form contains 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 letter requested.

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