IC01


IC01.1 - Company

**Form Purpose
Use Company (IC01.1) 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).

**Processing Effect
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.

You can select automatic numbering for assigning numbers to IC documents,
rather than manually assigning document numbers.

**More Information
Requisitions Self Service (RSS) is used to default the tasks and item lists
allowed by the requester if they have not set up anything on Requesters
(RQ04.1). You must define at least one task on IC01.1. If you do not assign
any task to the requester, the program will not default the values from
IC01.1, the application will default the company task. If you set up the tasks
on RQ04.1 they will override the defaults from the company level.

Type a number in the task fields to allow the requester to perform that task.
The order in which you enter them is the order the requester will see them on
the list.

List only contract items allows the requester to see only items that are
contracted.

List only internal items allows the requester to see only inventory items
that are from the internal warehouse and therefore limits the request to only
inventory items.

Note If you default the requester to List only internal items, you cannot use
Special or Punchout in the task fields.

IC01.2 - Period End Dates

**Form Purpose
Use Dates (IC01.2) to define company period information. The Inventory
Control application uses this information to:

- Control general ledger posting dates.

- Control transaction dates.

- Determine history and forecast periods.

- Recapture data for use in management reporting.

- 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

**Form Purpose
Use Bin Usage Types (IC01.3) to 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

**Form Purpose
Use Report Options (IC01.4) to indicate 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.

**More Information
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.
