Summary

The Miscellaneous Attribute Maintenance windows are used to create user-defined, table-driven attribute codes that can be associated with inventory items. Unlike the standard Miscellaneous Fields, the available content for the Misc Attribute fields must be set up on the Misc Attribute Maintenance window before the fields can be used.

Step by Step

1     Open a Miscellaneous Attribute Maintenance window (IC> Maintenance> Misc Attribute 1-6).

• Each Miscellaneous Attribute Maintenance window will display all of the attribute codes created within that attribute number. Attribute codes created in one window, such as the Miscellaneous Attribute One window, will not display in another window, such as the Miscellaneous Attribute Two window.
• Select an attribute code in the left section of the window and the fields in the Maintenance section will update with the information attached to the selected attribute code.
• Highlight an attribute code and click the Delete icon or press DELETE to delete the selected attribute code.
  • You cannot delete an attribute code that is attached to an existing inventory item.
• Press INSERT or click the Create icon if you would like to create a new attribute code. This will create a new line item in the left section of the window.

2     Create a new Attribute Code.

• Enter a unique Misc Code for the new attribute.
  • The Misc Code must be unique within the specific miscellaneous attribute window, but you can use the same Misc Code in another miscellaneous attribute window.
  • This field can be up to 32 characters long.
• Enter an optional Description for the attribute code.
  • This field can be up to 64 characters long.
• Click the Save icon to save the new miscellaneous attribute code.
• Once an Attribute Code is created, it can be associated with an inventory item on the Inventory Item Maintenance window (IC> Maintenance> Item> open an item> Misc tab> Misc Attribute 1-6 fields).
