TW - Add Parts

This utility can be used to a new Part to the SRM product file.
Once the Parts records have been added they can be modified in FL- Parts and can also be accessed from Sales Inventory.

PRODUCT NUMBER

Accept the default product number displayed or over-type it with a preferred unique alpha/numeric product number to a maximum of 12 characters.

Because barcodes can also be used to identify or enter products manually or via scanner on a document, the product number cannot be the same as the barcode for any other product in the system.

DESCRIPTION

Enter the product description using up to 30 characters, or accept the default Group description displayed.
This is the primary description of the item as it appears on reports, and also on documents for standard language customers.

Note: The product description can always be over-typed on the document.

Additional Descriptions

Additional product descriptions for product search and for printing purposes can be set up in the pop-up window as follows:

ALT LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION

This field can be used to set the alternate language description for this product.

Note: The inventory search does not use the alternate language description. This is just a printing feature for the customer documents such as reservations, contracts and invoices.
