Entering an Item

To open the Item register, use the Modules menu to enter the Sales Ledger or the Sales Orders or Stock modules and select 'Items' from the Registers menu, or click the [Items] button in the Master Control panel.

The 'Items: Browse' window is opened, showing all Items already entered.

To enter a new Item, click [New] in the Button Bar or use the Ctrl-N (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-N (Macintosh) keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, highlight an Item similar to the one you want to enter and click [Duplicate] on the Button Bar.

The 'Item: New' window is shown, empty if you clicked [New] or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Item.

Since the amount of information stored about each Item will not fit on a single screen, the Item window has been divided into six cards. At the top of each is the header. This contains the Item Number, Item Group and Description, and the Closed check box. There are six named buttons ('tabs') in the header.

By clicking the tabs you can navigate between cards. The header is always visible, as a reminder of the Item you are working with.
