Product Material Types (ICMA_IM09)

The Product Material Types (ibis_icma.im09) view allows you to define the material types used to produce products. Material types will be assigned to products in the Products (ici1.im13) table. The 'primary' material type for a product appears on the Export Invoice Print (ibis_in52) report.

The following list defines every field available in the product product material types (icma) table in alphabetical order:

  • Company - the company field is available when you create a new record. The company defaults to the company assigned to your user id in the Session Parameters view.

Once the record is created, the company to which the record is associated displays in the General section (at the top of the view).

  • Created On - displays the name of the user who created the record you are viewing or maintaining. May not be overridden.

  • Created By - displays the date on which the record that you are creating or maintaining was created. May not be overridden. May also represent the creation date of the records you are attempting to retrieve.
