COMBINED ITEM MASTER/ITEM BALANCE FILE MAINTENANCE, HISTORY AND SYNCHRONIZATION
(AVEM18)

By simplifying Item Master and Item Balance File Maintenance, our Combined Item Master Maintenance enhancement saves you time and effort, assures a more accurate data base and provides new fields and files for additional data. The enhancement allows the user to synchronize the Item Master and Item Balance Files.

During file maintenance, the operator selects the screens to be maintained and  the system automatically advances through Item Master and then Item Balance Maintenance without returning either to a select screen or a menu. Items added to the Item Master file are not omitted from the Item Balance, since they can be  added at the same time Item Master Records are added. Data fields common  to the two files will be carried forward by the system automatically unless changed  by the operator

 

New Fields and Files have been added to provide additional functions: Cross Reference Item Number - 15 characters Manufacturing Item Number - 25 characters Suggested Retain Price Tax Included Code Extended Item Description - 90 lines, 60 characters each Item Comment - 90 lines, 60 characters each Substitute Items - 450 Items, 15 characters each

 

	MAPICS treats Item Master and Item Balance Maintenance as separate functions by combining them into a single function, we are able to both greatly improve data entry productivity and reduce errors
	The Set Defaults capability greatly reduces the time to add a new product line which is similar to an existing line, or to add warehouse locations to existing items
	Automatically carry forward common data from Item Master to Item Balance
	Add multiple warehouses and common data for a single Item Number by paging through a series of screens
	By retaining all file Maintenance History on the system, a complete audit trail can be printed periodically for hard copy retention or upon demand for individual items to resolve questions internally or by auditors
	Item Master/Item Balance Synchronization-This identifies missing Item Balance records, MRP logic if selected, and mis-matched Item Classes, Warehouse Locations and Primary Vendors. The option exists to selectively update Item Balance data to match the Item Master fields. This capability is essential to maintain an accurate data base
	The MAPICS File Maintenance screen layouts, help text and editing are used for MAPICS compatibility
	This Enhancement may be installed in Multiple Environments
