IC35.1 - Inquiry Formats

**Form Purpose
Use Inquiry Formats (IC35.1) 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 view these fields before you can
set up a format.
