Use these fields to create an item class record.
1. Item Class
Specify the item class (up to 3 characters).
2. Description

eCatelog Note: When an item class is added or the description is changed, the system adds a record to the eCatalog log file for the next update to the eCatalog database. There is currently no way to remove a item class description record from eCatalog. However, when a code is deleted, any unprocessed records for this transaction will be removed from the log file.
3. GL Table
Specify the default GL posting table in the Item F/M program for items assigned to this item class. The entry must be a valid General Ledger posting table. Press Enter to default to the first GL posting table on file.
4. Temporary Item
Specify the item number to which Sales Analysis information for temporary items in this class should post. The entry must be a valid item number. This number is posted to Sales Analysis whenever a temporary item in this class item is sold. Press F1to default to NO POSTING.
Deleting an item class from the system
When you delete an item class, the system prompts you to enter an alternate item class that it can transfer sales history to so that it’s still available in Sales Analysis.
Make sure you set up at least one false item class to which you can transfer sales history when you delete a class. A false class needs to be created even if you use one class for all your items.
