Contents of the Manage Goods Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Manage Goods screen.

Identification

Use the Identification Block to view goods identification, revision, and description.

Field Description
Goods ID

Enter a goods ID. This goods ID is used throughout Costpoint as the main identifier for the good. If you enter an existing provisional part ID and attempt to save the record, the application displays an error message indicating that the provisional part ID already exists.

Rev

Enter, or click to select, the goods revision number. You can use the revision to track multiple modifications or revision numbers for each good. The Rev field is optional and is controlled by the Configure Product Definition Settings screen. If you selected the Allow Multiple Revisions For Each Item check box on the Corporate Settings block on the Configure Product Definition Settings screen, you can store multiple revisions of the same item in the database at the same time. Costpoint treats each revision as a separate item. If the Allow Multiple Revisions For Each Item check box is not selected, only the last revision of an item can be stored.

Note: You can modify revision numbers, but if the Allow Multiple Revisions For Each Item check box is not selected, the application stores only one (the last) revision number.

If you update when using revisions, the last revision assigned to this good automatically displays and can be modified.

Description

Enter a goods ID description.
