How Do I Create Item Codes?

The following is a checklist for creating item codes used for purchases of items that are frequently ordered. You can create items classified as Non-Inventory, or Services.

1. Open the Maintain>Purchase Orders>Item Codes form.
2. On the Item Codes tab, complete the item information by entering a unique item code (you can also use the vendor catalog code), description, and selecting the item type Non-Inventory or Services from the drop-down list.
3. On the Purchase tab, enter the default values associated with the item code. Enter the default GL code (Purchase GL Account Code), Distribution Code, Standard Order Quantity, Unit Price, and Preferred Vendor. To assist in data consistency and time saving entry, these entries automatically display on the Purchase Order when the item code is used.
4. Click Save.
