Items Master Form or Dialog Box

Use the Items Master form or dialog box to set up purchasing and inventory items for use in the Purchasing and Inventory applications.

Depending on where you are in Vantagepoint, the Items Master can launch as a form or dialog box. For more information, go to Display the Items Master Form or Dialog Box.

Basic Steps

The setup steps for items vary, depending on the type:
  • Purchasing items: You enter information on the General and Vendors tabs of the Items Master form. You add the purchasing items that you establish in Item Master Settings as line items on purchase orders that you enter in the Purchasing application. You also use purchasing items from Item Master Settings to create equipment records directly in the Equipment hub (without creating a purchase order for them).
  • inventory items: You enter information on the General and Vendors tabs of the Items Master form. You then specify that the item is an inventory item on the Inventory tab.

Item Categories

Before you set up purchasing and inventory items in Item Master Configuration, you must set up item categories for the purchase and inventory items and specify a type for each item category in Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > System.

Then, in Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Company, you specify the item categories and their general ledger accounts for your company (or multiple companies, if you have more than one company).
