Re: Item Master Item Types

["De Vlieger Kris" <devlieger.kris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
