Item Concepts

You can build and maintain an accurate, informative item history. Information from Order Entry and Purchasing builds a history for all items in your Item database. The gathered data is stored in two files: I-HISTORY and I-AUX.

 

Item History is displayed in the Item History window. The Inventory tab displays current, month-to-date, on-hand stock information. History for multiple locations and bins displays at the bottom of the Inventory tab. The History tab displays usage information, broken down by month, covering the past 24 calendar months. The Item History Enhanced Bins tab shows the detail of pulling bins and overflow bins.

 

At the end of each month, you clear the information in the Item History Inventory tab by performing the month-end procedure. However, you can save the totals for extended history in the Item History History tab.

Note: To maintain history for items, you must specify a range of stock classes in the Class Range to Build History From / To and + Additional Classes fields in the (LE1) Inventory Parameters continuation screen. For information, see Parameters.
