Item Search 1-5

Deacom offers five user-defined Item Search fields that can be used to define additional criteria for Item Master records. Captions for these fields are defined in System > Maintenance > Captions and field selections are made on the Item Master User Fields tab for each Part. These Item Search fields are available on the Inventory Reporting pre-filter to assist with searching and analyzing items and for printing on inventory forms such as Item Master labels, Formulas, and Batch tickets. In addition, these fields are one of the criteria for Deal Pricing, Promotions, and Commissions. These fields are required and must have at least one default entry each. Companies not wishing to use these fields on Item Master records may enter a default value of "None". Users with access to the Inventory Maintenance menu will have access to add and modify selections.
