Item Search 1–5

Deacom provides five user-defined Item Search fields for adding custom criteria to Item Master records. Captions are set in System > Maintenance > Captions, and selections are made on the Item Master User Fields tab for each part. These fields support inventory reporting filters, printing on forms like labels and batch tickets, and serve as criteria for Deal Pricing, Promotions, and Commissions.

Each field is required with at least one default entry; companies not using them may set the default to "None." Users with Inventory Maintenance access can add and modify these selections.

User Fields tab

Deacom allows the creation of user-defined fields that, once created are available in various master data records, such as Items, Vendors, Ship-To-Companies and many others. These fields allow companies to enter and store information outside of the fields provided in the system. User fields can also be used in connection with User Calculations and are available for printing on the majority of Part Forms and Report Layouts throughout the system.
