IC10


IC10.1 - Formats

Use this form to create user-defined item setup form formats. This form
enables you to customize the item setup process to meet your needs.
Customizing your own format(s) streamlines the process of adding an item in
IC11.1 (Item Master) and IC12.1 (Item Location). This form enables you to
choose the fields you want to use, indicate the display order, specify the
required fields, and enter field defaults. You can set up multiple form
formats, each being specific to the departments in your organization. For
example, you could set up a format named PURCH for the purchasing staff to
maintain item buying information. Use IC10.2 (Item Master and Location) to use
item setup formats created in this form.

Important: Before you use this form, run IC180 (Dictionary Setup) to load the
dictionary setup file. This file consists of all fields used in the Inventory
Control application. You must type the company number and select the Inquire
form action to display these fields before you can set up a format.

IC10.2 - Item Master and Location

Use this form to display a format defined in IC10.1 (Formats). Formats are
used to create an item setup form that meets your needs. Formats must be
defined in IC10.1 (Formats) before they can be used in this form. Before you
can use a format, you must enter the company and format name. Then, select the
Inquire form action to display the format. After the format displays, select
the Add form action to add a new item record, select the Inquire form action
to display an existing item record, or other actions as needed.

Formats streamline the process of adding item records to the Item Master file
in IC11.1 and/or to the Item Location file in IC12.1. After you type a valid
format name, required file default values display in the top section of the
form. Fields selected to display for the format are listed in the order
specified in IC10.1 (Formats) in the lower section of the form. Optional
default values can be included or field entries can be required, depending on
how the format is set up in IC10.1 (Formats).
