TR Companion Item Entry (ICE150)

Use TR Companion Item Entry to designate items or memos to import when a specified item is entered in Transfer Entry, Receipt Confirmation Entry, Shipment Confirmation Entry, or Buyers Control Center. You can indicate whether the import of items/memos is automatic or prompted for each IC Entry program type.

Click field descriptions for information on each field.

Companion item processing

In Transfer and Confirmation Entry programs when a line item is originally saved, the program checks to see if there is a Companion Item header record for the item number that has been saved.

Use the TR Companion Item Entry program to select whether the import of items/memos is automatic, prompted, or not applicable to the entry program. If any companion items/memos are flagged as "Y-Default to Y" or "N-Default to N," you have the option to select any of the companion items/memos available. In the Auto Add section, if any companion items/memos are flagged as "A – Always Add" then if any additional companion items/memos are flagged as Y or N, then all items/memos that are A, Y and N are displayed in the TR Companion Item Selection (ICE151) dialog box. If all companions applicable for this order type are flagged as A and there are no Y or N flagged items/memos, then no dialog is displayed and those items/memos are automatically imported into the document (unless there’s an exception that requires user attention, such as the item not being setup in a warehouse). Companion items/memos flagged as "X – Not Applicable" are not displayed and are not allowed for import into the actual document. Once the companion items/memos are selected the items are imported into the document.
