Re: Item Master Item Types

Bonnie,
    There is no code file containing these types. I guess it is hard coded
in the entry/maint program.
And you have to have one.
You could use a "9" user option then have have a night prog. list all the
"9" to remind you that you need to take care of at some point....
0           Phantom
1           Assembly or subassembly
2           Fabricated item
3           Raw material
4           Purchased item
9           User option (Special)
F           Feature
K          Kit
