Status Maintenance

Use this form to define item statuses. You must assign a status to each item set up on the Inventory Item Maintenance form. You can use statuses to control activity for inventory items.

Note: You can change the status that is assigned to an item.

Status

Enter a unique name for the status, up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Type

Select one of these types of statuses:

• Active - Indicates that the item is fully active. There are no restrictions placed on the item around its use in transactions or any other inventory function. Make the active status the default for new items. The default status for new items is assigned on the Defaults tab on the Module Control form.
• Active (Do Not Allow Further Sales) - Indicates you can't select the item in a sales transaction. You can't view the item for selection on the AR Invoice Entry, AR Credit Note Entry, Sales Order Entry, or Inventory Transaction Entry forms if a transaction type from the Accounts Receivable module is selected.
• Active (Do Not Allow Further Purchases) - Indicates that you can't select the item in a purchase transaction. You can't view the item for selection on the AP Invoice Entry, AP Credit Note Entry, Purchase Order Entry, or Inventory Transaction Entry forms if a transaction type from the Accounts Payable module is selected.
• Inactive - Indicates that you can't select the item in any transaction. Select this option to control items that are obsolete with no inventory on hand, or which are ready for deletion.

Status is Active

Select this option to assign this status to an inventory item. If the box is not selected, you can't assign the status to an item.

As each status is set up, you can see it in the tree structure displayed on the left side of the form. Each of the four pre-defined status types is represented as a tree branch. If one or more statuses is defined for a type, click the + expand the branch and see details of the status that is defined.
