IC18.1 - Item Comments

**Form Purpose
Use Item Comments (IC18.1) to set up item comments. Item comments provide
additional information for items set up in IC11.1 (Item Master) or IC10.2
(Item Master and Location). You can assign up to 999 comment lines to a single
item using this form. If you assign item comments to an item, a message
indicates that item comments exist in IC11.1 (Item Master).

Item comments print on the following inventory reports and are also used by
the Purchase Order, Order Entry, and Work Order applications.

- IC210 - Item Master Listing

- IC211 - Item Location Listing

- IC110 - Intransit Shipping

**More Information
This form also lets you assign comment types to item comments. Comment types,
defined in IC00.2 (Item Comment Types), let you group comments together into
user-defined types. In addition, you can use IC00.3 (Item Comment Report
Options) to set up comment types to print on one or all of the previously
listed reports. For example, if comment type S represents shipping
instructions, set up the comment type to print only on the Intransit Shipping
report (IC110). If you do not use comment types or choose specific report
options, item comments print on all of the reports previously listed.

The picking type of comments print on the pick list for the Warehouse and
Work Order applications (on WH130 and WO131, respectively). You can define
which type of comments are to print on the Picking List and Packing List on
IC01.4 (Report Options).
