Add a New Inventory or Alias Item

 

When entering line items, you can add new items to the Inventory file without leaving the Purchase Order Entry, Receipt of Goods Entry, Receipt of Invoice Entry, or Return of Goods Entry windows, if the Inventory Management module is integrated with Purchase Order.

Item codes and alias item numbers can be added on the fly on the Purchase Order Entry, Receipt of Goods Entry, Receipt of Invoice Entry, and the Return of Goods Entry Lines tabs. If the item code entered in the Item Code field on the Lines tab of any of these tasks is greater than 15 characters in length, you can enter a new alias item number on the fly (the item number must exist). If the item code is less than or equal to 15 characters in length, you can enter an item code or an alias item number on the fly.

If you have chosen to allow entry of expanded item codes in Common Information Options, you are allowed to enter an item code up to 20 characters.

Note A new item can be added on the fly if the appropriate security event is set up.
