InventoryControl Printable Help
7.2.2 General Information Tab:
The General Information tab is where you will enter the basic information about the item. Please see
the screen shot above for an example of this tab.
Enter the appropriate information in the fields provided:
Field Description
Item Number
(Required)
The Item Number is often available on a barcode label already attached to the
item, such as a UPC code or SKU number. Using an existing barcode for the
Item Number allows you to scan or manually enter the number from each item as
it comes in without having to print and affix your own barcode inventory item
labels. Item numbers in InventoryControl cannot exceed 31 characters.
Do not use a description as the item number. You should enter a numeric value
in the Item Number field. A description of the item can be entered in the
Description field.
Automatic Item Numbers: If you have the Automatic Item Numbers option
selected on the Options screen, the Item Number field will appear populated
with the next number in the sequence. For example, if you just created item
number 1001, the next number will be 1002. For further information on this
option, please refer to the
Options Screen topic.
Category
A Category is an optional classification you can give to your items. This provides
you with another way to group your items. For example, you could create a
Category called laptops and assign that category to any laptop items you have.
You might have multiple items representing different makes and models of
laptops. If you assign the category "Laptops" to all of those items, you can then
group your list by Category and quickly see all laptop items.
You can create new Categories by typing in the desired name in the Category
field. You will receive a message asking if you want to save the new Category.
Select Yes to save. Categories you have already created will appear in a drop
down list.
Checkout
Length
This field specifies the default period, in days, that this Item can be checked out
to a customer.
Manufacturer
This is the entity that manufactured the item. This field is optional and provides
another way to sort and group your items. When a new Manufacturer is typed
into the Manufacturer field, you will receive a message asking if you want to save
the value as a new Manufacturer.
Type (Pro and
Enterprise
Versions
Only)
When you access the Create New Item screen by selecting New > Item >
Assembly, this field will automatically be set to Assembly. If you accessed it
any other way, you can select Assembly from the Type drop down.
