IC00


IC00.1 - Corporate Item Group

**Form Purpose
Use Corporate Item Group (IC00.1) to add item group record(s) to the
Inventory Control application.

**Processing Effect
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 Inventory Control application should audit Item Master
activity.

- The number of default decimals on cost and price fields.

- Valid units of measure.

- Automatic item numbering and numeric item number.

**More Information
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 view existing units
of measure, then select the Change form action and Add line action to enter
additional units of measure.

Use the User Fields button to set up and assign data types for user fields.
User fields defined in the Item Master column can be used on Item Master
(IC11.1). User fields defined in the Item Substitution column can be used on
User Fields (13.2).

Use the Load UOM button on this form if you want to automatically load a list
of industry standard UOMs into the item group. Load UOM on the IC00 screen is
used to import a list of valid UOM's from an outside source, such as a
spreadsheet or legacy system that is being replaced. It is designed to import
a .csv file that contains four characters. The first field is a four character
UOM code. The fields are separated by a comma. The file needs to be named
UOMLOADCSV and it needs to be in a directory called the same UOMLOADCSV. The
path for the directory is $LAWDIR/productline/work/UOMLOADCSV (UNIX) or
LAWDIR/productline/work/UOMLOADCSV (iSeries). The directory and file name are
in capital letters. If a UOM value is imported that already exists, the import
record will be skipped. If the button is used without the file present,
nothing will happen.

IC00.2 - Item Comment Types

**Form Purpose
Use Item Comment Types (IC00.2) 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.

**More Information
You can designate item comments to print on selected reports as well as POs
and receivers.

- 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.

- Use PO01.1 (Company Setup) for purchase orders and receivers.

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
applications. Report options vary in each application.

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

**Form Purpose
Use Item Comment Report Options (IC00.3) 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).

Note 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.

**More Information
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.
