About Editing Items
You use the I/C Items screen to edit items in Inventory Control.
You can change most of the item information at any time, with these restrictions:
- After you make an item
inactive:
- You cannot post receipts, shipments, adjustments, assemblies, or transfers for that item.
- You cannot use the item as an alternate item.
- You cannot assign an item to a category or an account set that has an Inactive status.
- You cannot directly change
an item number.
You must first create a new item with the new number, copy the item information to the new item, then delete the old item.
- You cannot select a different item structure code for an existing item.
- If the item is a master or component item in a bill of material, you cannot change the account set to one that uses the user-specified costing method.
- You cannot change a stock
item to a non-stock item unless:
- The total cost and quantity for the item is zero at all locations, and the item is removed from all locations using the I/C Location Details screen or the I/C Locations screen.
- The account set and category codes for the item are active.
- The item is assigned an account set that uses the user-specified costing method.
