Item Inquiry (ICI610)

How To

This program allows you to display item inventory information by warehouse code.

Program Details

When you first access Item Inquiry, the upper portion of the screen contains a Go to field, which is used locate specific items. The Go to field is case sensitive. This means that if you enter i100 to lookup a item number when someone entered it as I100, the item record you are looking for will not appear in the browser.

The Starts With option uses only the first column of the Layout list for the search. To use Starts With, enter one or more characters to match the beginning of the records for the search. Then, choose the Go button or press Enter to begin the search.

For example, if you enter D as the Starts With in the Item Lookup and press ENTER, the Lookup list will redisplay records showing the first item that begins with a D. If there are no matches for your selection, a message displays and the Lookup list does not change.

You can select the image\filter_shg.gif (filters) icon if you want to limit the number of records that appear in the inquiry browser. You can also choose Options-->Filter Values. In character mode, press F1.

Sync Feature

Sync is a method of connecting the entry programs with information displayed in customer, item and vendor inquiries. It is a helpful feature because it enables you to get real-time information such as customer balances, vendor balances and warehouse quantities, while you are working in entry programs.

You can select the image\unSync_shg.gif icon to change or update the information displayed in this inquiry. When you use the Sync feature, the icon display changes to image\sync.gif. Use this display to note whether your inquiry is in Sync mode.

Inquiries are synchronized on a per user basis. In other words, if you are signed on to FACTS in one window with one name and signed on in another window with another name, it will appear as if the Sync function is not working.

The Activities view displays by default. From the Windows menu, you can select other windows of information to open.
