Inventory Static Data File (IM1.D) Fields:
1. Item No 1. Each item must have an item number. It is one of
4 ways the computer stores and retrieves
information for that particular item (the others
are catalog number, manufacturer’s (mfg)
number, and short description). Most inventory
reports can be printed in order of these 4 ways to
retrieve item information.
2. The item number is 8 digits long (numeric only)
with 3 major parts:
GROUP = first 2 digits. There can be up to 99
inventory groups (01-99). It is a major
breakdown of inventory categories. Sales
analysis is done at the group level. Group
names are set up in the Variable File.
SECTION = second 2 digits. There can be up to
99 sections within each group (01-99). A
section is a minor category breakdown which
subdivides similar items within each group.
Most inventory reports are subtotaled by
section and then by group. The short
description sometimes represents the section.
UNIQUE NUMBER = last 4 digits. Item numbers
are unique and can only be used once. No two
items can have the same item number. Where
the first 4 digits of the item number allow you
to categorize items, the last 4 digits allow you
to make each item number unique. The last 4
digits keep items in a logical sequence. The
unique number can be used 2 different ways--
numbering dimensional lumber and non-
lumber items.
