Re: Item Master Item Types

The neatest way according to me is using is EPDM and using implementation
status.  If you do not like it for some reason then in descending order I
would use alternatives like:
    user fields (PDM+),
    e-mail (screenless),
    user fields with programming (green screen)
    Integrator (comment file,...)
    a combination of the above (you don't have this only for the item type
(item class, buyer, cost,..) do you?)
And I will not mention the more exotic possibilities,

Good luck
