IC01


IC01.1 - Company


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 on Corporate
Item Group (IC00.1).


**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:
Company (IC01.1),Period End Dates (IC01.2), Bin Usage Types (IC01.3).
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

Lawson Requisitions Self-Service 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 form 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


Use Period End 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) will miscalculate the average inventory cost.

IC01.3 - Bin Usage Types



Use Bin Usage Types (IC01.3) to define company options in IC01.1 (Company)
and inventory period dates in IC01.2 (Period End 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



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 (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 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.
