IC812 - Item Location Load

Run IC812 to load item location and, optionally, inventory receipts data from
another inventory system into the Inventory Control database.

IC812 receives Lawson format input files. IC812 outputs an edit report and,
optionally, updates the Inventory Control database.

After you run IC812, the following is true:

- If the Audit Item Master Flag in IC00.1 (Corporate Item Group) is set to
Yes, IC812 updates the Item/Item Location Audit file.

- If you use the LIFO or FIFO costing method, IC812 creates item receipt
records from the receipts input file. If that file does not exit, IC812
creates one receipt record for each item using information in the Item
Location input file.

- If you use the average or standard costing method, the system creates one
receipt record for each item when you load item stock-on-hand quantities in
IC820 (Beginning Balance Load).
