Editing an Item

To edit an Item, first ensure you are in the Sales Ledger if you are using Standard Accounts and then, in all Standard products, open the Item register by clicking the [Items] button in the Master Control panel.

The 'Items: Browse' window opens, listing the Items in Item Number order. Change the sort order by clicking on one of the column headings: the blue heading shows the current sort order.

To search for a specific Item, first sort the list by the column that you want to use for the search. Then, enter the text that you want to find in the Search field in the top right-hand corner of the window and press Return. For example, to search for a particular Item Name, sort by Name before entering a Name (or its first few characters) in the Search field.

To modify an Item record, double-click on the line in the browse window. The Item record will be opened in a window entitled 'Item: Inspect'. The fields in this window are the same as those in the 'Item: New' window: please refer here for a detailed description of each field.

Edit the fields as necessary. Move from field to field using the Tab, Enter or Return keys, using the arrow keys, or using the mouse. Click the [Save] button when you have finished, to save changes.

You can also edit an Item from another register. For example, when entering an Invoice, you might realise that your information about an Item is out of date (the price might have changed, for example). Place the insertion point in the Item field in the Invoice and press ⌘-Shift-V. The Item record opens, allowing you to make the necessary changes. You can also do this from the 'Paste Special' list, when you are choosing the Item for the Invoice.
