Setting Division Options

Each division contains options for how you will handle the item inventory at any site in this division. These option settings are division-wide and are enforced at each site in this division. Click the Division Info tab to bring this portion of the form to the front. Division options are set from this tab.

Default Unit of Measure (required)

• The default unit of measure is used by a division that does not allow multiple units of measure. 
• The default system unit of measure is EA. It has a count of 1.  
• Another default unit of measure may be selected from the options available in the drop-down list; it will automatically have an each count of 1. (Any unit of measure found in the unit of measure list at the Manage Lookups page is available in this drop-down list.) 
• If this division does not use multiple units of measure, the system will automatically assign the default unit of measure to an item.

Multiple sites checkbox

• when marked, this division will be able to have more than one site. 
• when unmarked, this division cannot have more than one site. 
• when a division contains inventory, the inventory must be purged before this setting can be changed.

Multiple units of measure checkbox

• when marked, the items in this division are not restricted to the system default unit of measure and varying units of measure with varying each counts may be added to an item. 
• when unmarked, the items in this division are restricted to the system default unit of measure with an each count of 1. When using the default unit of measure, items in this division cannot contain varying units of measure. 
• the system lookups contain a unit of measure list. The units of measure used in the system are entered in this list. 
• when a division contains inventory, the inventory must be purged before this setting can be changed.

Serial numbers checkbox

• when marked, the items in this division may be serialized. When an item is serialized, a serial number is required for this item when it is added to inventory. A serial number must be unique to the item for the entire division. 
• when unmarked, the items in this division cannot be serialized and serial numbers cannot be used in inventory.
• when a division contains inventory, the inventory must be purged before this setting can be changed.

Lots checkbox

• when marked, the items in this division may contain a lot. When an item is marked for lots, a lot is required for this item when it is added to inventory. 
• when unmarked, the items in this division cannot contain a lot and lots cannot be used in inventory. 
• when a division contains inventory, the inventory must be purged before this setting can be changed.

Expiration dates checkbox

• when marked, the items in this division may be marked to contain an expiration date. When an item is marked for expiration dates, an expiration date is required for this item when it is added to inventory. 
• when unmarked, the items in this division cannot contain expiration dates and expiration dates cannot be used in inventory.
• when a division contains inventory, the inventory must be purged before this setting can be changed.

Log Balance in History checkbox

Note: We recommend that you turn this option off before performing a mass move when the mass move transaction involves 1000 or more item or asset records. This will improve performance time for the mass move transaction.

• when marked, each applicable history record in this division contains the total net balance quantity for the item. 
• when unmarked, the total net balance quantity for the item will not be part of the history record for the item. 

Containers checkbox

• activated when the Containers feature is enabled. 
• when marked, this division allows the use of containers for inventory move, pick/issue, and receive/return. 
• when unmarked, this division does not allow the use of containers for inventory move, pick/issue, and receive/return. 

RFID checkbox

• activated when the RFID feature is enabled.
• when marked, this division uses RFID scanning and tracking.
• when unmarked, this division does not use RFID scanning and tracking.
• see "RFID Feature" for more information

Unit Cost Tracking

• Activated when the Unit Cost Tracking Feature is enabled. Check this box to enable cost tracking of consumable items. The unit cost tracking feature enables you to track the unit cost during the receipt of consumable inventory, the return of consumable inventory, and item receive of consumable inventory ("received items in the current consumable inventory"): see "Cost Tracking" for more information on using cost tracking in IntelliTrack.

• When marked, the following cost tracking options become enabled. Select the desired method of cost tracking:

  • Average: the average item unit cost is calculated for each item unit of measure during an item receipt/return/receive transaction in the current inventory.

  • Highest: the item unit cost is updated with the greatest unit cost recorded for the item during an item receipt/return/receive transaction in the current inventory.

  • Least: the item unit cost is updated with the lowest unit cost recorded for the item during an item receipt/return/receive transaction in the current inventory.

  • Last: the item unit cost is updated with the last item unit cost recorded for the item during an item receipt/return/receive transaction in the current inventory.
