Specify the defining parameters for the item: You can enter a warehouse, from warehouse vendor, purchasing line and/or item combination.

When possible, parameters should be set according to the hierarchy: Company, Warehouse, Vendor, Purchasing Line, Item, Warehouse / Item and avoid specific items settings.
In the Show drop down, specify Summary to view all of the effective parameters entered for the parameters set in the system and Detail to display overrides for only those parameter options that can be defined for the warehouse, from warehouse, vendor, purchasing line and/or item combination entered in step 2.
