Select Inventory Management Setup menu > Product Line Maintenance.

Use Product Line Maintenance to set up and maintain multiple product lines. A product line consists of any number of items grouped for inventory reporting and general ledger posting, and that share similar product information. For example, a product line can consist of items from the same manufacturer or items of a similar type or purpose.

Note Even if you do not group your inventory by product line, you must establish at least one product line code to use for all inventory items.

All inventory reports can be sorted by product line with quantity and cost information subtotals printed by product line. In addition, information for items assigned to a product line can be posted to the same general ledger account. You can also determine whether inventory transactions are posted to the general ledger by warehouse.

A product line code must be assigned to every item in Item Maintenance. When an item is initially assigned a product line code, it assumes the attributes defined for that specific product line. The product line information becomes the default information for that item.

To change product line information for existing items, enter the new information in this task and then click Apply to select which fields in Item Maintenance will be updated.

If the Enable Default Price Level by Customer check box in Sales Order Options is selected, you can establish default price levels by product line for a customer by clicking Price Level.

Warning You must retain at least two years of item history in Common Information Options to print accurate information on the Inventory Valuation Report by Period and to be able to use the Drill-Down features.
