IC18.1 - Item Comments

Use this optional form to set up item comments. Item comments provide
additional information for items set up in IC11.1 (Item Master) or IC10.2
(Item Master and Location). You can assign up to 999 comment lines to a single
item using this form and you can assign comments in multiple languages for the
same item. If you assign item comments to an item, a message  indicates that
item comments exist in IC11.1 (Item Master). Item comments  print on the
following inventory reports and are also used by the Purchase  Order, Order
Entry, and Work Order systems.

                      IC210 - Item Master Listing
                      IC211 - Item Location Listing
                      IC110 - Intransit Shipping

If item comments are defined in multiple languages, the Inventory Control
system selects for printing the language version that corresponds to the
language  preference of the vendor or customer defined in AP10.1 (Vendor) or
AR10.1  (Customer). Spaces in the Language Cd field represent English.

This form also lets you assign comment types to item comments. Comment types,
defined in IC00.2 (Item Comment Types), let you group comments together into
user-defined types. In addition, you can use IC00.3 (Item Comment Report
Options) to set up comment types to print on one or all of the previously
listed reports. For example, if comment type S represents shipping
instructions, set up the comment type to print only on the Intransit Shipping
report (IC110). If you do not use comment types or choose specific report
options, item comments print on all of the reports previously listed.

The picking type of comments print on the pick list for the Warehouse and Work
Order systems (on WH130 and WO131, respectively).
