IC35


IC35.1 - Inquiry Formats

Use this form to create user-defined inquiry form formats. This form lets you
customize item inquiries to meet your needs. Customizing your own inquiry
formats streamlines the process of inquiring on information from several forms
to one form. You can set up multiple formats, each being specific to the
department in your company. For example, you could set up a format named PURCH
for the purchasing staff to inquire on item buying information. Use IC36.1
(User Defined Item Inquiry) to use inquiry formats created in this form.

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