IC12


IC12.1 - Item Location

Before you use the Inventory Control application, you must set up item
records in IC11.1 and IC12.1. This form consists of location-specific item
information. After you set up an item for one location, you can copy it to
other locations in IC16.1 (Mass Copy or Mass Change) and in IC216 (Mass Update
Parameters Listing). For inventoried items, set up at least one location in
the Inventory Control application with at least one item location record in
IC12.1.

You can set up item location records directly in IC12.1 or you can customize
the item setup process to meet your specific needs in IC10.1 (Formats). If you
customize your own item setup format, you can streamline the process of adding
an item to the Item Master file in IC11.1 and/or to the Item Location file in
IC12.1. Instead of using IC11.1 and IC12.1, you use IC10.2 (Item Master and
Location).

Note: To default cost and vendor information for a nonstock item, set the
Inventory Tracking flag to No in the IC12.1 (Item Location) Main form. You can
use this feature when you order nonstock items in the Purchase Order and
Requisitions applications.

In the Item field, you can use two methods for mimicking existing item
locations (adding selectively or copying exactly).

Select the Add form action to create a new item location with selected
information. IC12.1 creates a new record with the following information:
- Information displayed on the visible form.
- Information from any other IC12.1 forms displayed for the existing item.

Select the Copy form action to quickly add like item locations to the Item
Location file. IC12.1 creates a new record exactly like the displayed record.
- Inquire on the existing item.
- Change the item number and other requested fields.
- Select the Copy (Y) form action.
- If needed, select the Change form action to change field values.

IC12.2 - Replenishment Setup

Use this program to maintain purchasing and reorder information for an item
at a particular location. Purchasing information includes the item's primary
vendor, purchase-from location, automatic purchasing flag and the reorder
document code. Vendors and purchase-from locations are set up in the Accounts
Payable (AP) Vendor screen. The reorder document code indicates the type of
document to create to reorder the item (purchase order, transfer, issue,
requisition, intransit).

Reorder information defines the reorder method (Reorder Policy Code), when to
reorder (Reorder Point), order calculation (Reorder Quantity Code) and the
order quantity (Reorder Quantity). The Lawson Inventory Control application
suggests order quantities based on reordering information via inventory report
programs: Inventory Reorder Advice (IC225), EOQ and Reorder Calculation
(IC120), Vendor Reorder Advice (IC140), Replenishment Report (IC141), and
Replenishment by Requisition PO (IC142). Refer to these programs for more
information on what reorder information is necessary to suggest order
quantities.
