IC00


IC00.1 - Corporate Item Group


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 (IC13.2).
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
form 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 reads unit of
measure records from the table UOMLOADCSV. You upload the data from the table
and choose the Load UOM button to load the units of measure.
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



Use Item Comment Types (IC00.2) to add comment types to item group(s)
already set up in Corporate Item Group (IC00.1). 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 purchase orders and receivers.



- Use Item Comment Report Options (IC00.3) for selected inventory
reports other than picking and packing lists.


- Use Report Options (IC01.4) for picking lists and packing
lists.


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



User definable, comment types group item comments set up in Item Comments
(IC18.1). 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 Production 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 Intransit Shipping (IC110) report.

IC00.3 - Item Comment Report Options


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 (Item 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.
