IC01


IC01.1 - Company

Use this form to begin the process of assigning company parameters in the
Inventory Control application. 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 application. 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 application.

The available-to-sell calculation is used to determine if a customer order
will be allocated or backordered upon entry. If a customer does not allow
backorders, the order cannot be entered.

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
application 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 Program) 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 Inventory Control application 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 on one or both
of the following 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.
