Purchasing Notes |
The Purchasing Notes tab enables you to record notes that pertain to purchases of the part.
Tip: You can use the filter to restrict the information that displays to a specific part ID, part suffix, inventory month, keyword, stock status, product category, or part classification, among others. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a cross-reference part ID that cannot be found, the applicable part ID displays.
Tip: In Insert and Update modes, information on this tab is accessible only if the Manage parts ordering and Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) values field on the General tab of the Setup -> Parts Items -> Options screen is set to CENTRALLY. If that field is set to BY LOCATION, use the Parts Items -> Location Information screen for purchasing notes for a part at specific locations.

The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Part ID
Identifier of the part currently selected in the grid or that you are defining.
Note: If there is a check in the Enable automatic part numbering field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Product Categories screen, the part ID is assigned automatically. Its characteristics, if any, are based on information entered in other fields on that screen.
The part ID may only consist of valid
bar code characters. This field has a zoom
button 
to the Data
-> Parts Items -> Cross-references
screen, which defines cross-references of part IDs. It also has a list box. The part description
displays to the right of the ID. This field is required.
The combination of this part ID and the part suffix must be unique for each part.
To delete a part and all its data from inventory, refer to how to delete a part from inventory.
To delete a part from a specific location, use the Basic Info tab on the Data -> Parts Items -> Location Information screen.
Note: You cannot delete a record that has part quantities to be reconciled.
Part suffix
Number associated with the part in the Part ID field, which distinguishes it from other parts with the same part ID. This applies only if the part ID is a valid part ID.
New part/location/inventory
If you are entering a new part, you can click the New part/location/inventory button to launch the Add New Part wizard. The wizard will walk you through specifying the required data for the Part Primary, Part Location, and Inventory Adjustment screens.
Note: The wizard must be activated before it will launch. Refer to Add New Part Wizard for more information.
