Item Card
Summary
Via the Item Card window, the company's items are created and maintained. This includes services, which in the system are treated as items.
PrintVis Item Card is an extension of a standard 365 Business Central item card, and many fields are therefore identical, particularly those concerning the handling of postings for specific items.
Several fields used in the PrintVis system have been added, and these fields are described in this help text.
The Item Card can be found by searching for "Items" and then selecting an item.
General
Note:
- Item numbers are alphanumeric, and you are free to use any combination of letters, numbers, and other characters.
- Do NOT use any of the search characters such as: &, |, .., <>, >=, <=.
Planning
The planning section is used by the requisition worksheet. Additional information can be found here.
