The Maintain Inventory Master (IM13) program offers 2 menu options, located at the top of each folder in IM13. Each menu option contains various items.

The following list defines the contents of each menu:

• Options - the Options menu contains the following options:
  • Defaults - you can set IM13 to automatically default specific information when creating new records. This is useful if the bulk of the records contain the same information. Setting up a default record for the company or the operator saves time when entering new records. Note: If the product is coded for deletion, the default settings are not available.

    To set up a default record:

    1. Enter the desired default information. Note: You must enter information into the following mandatory fields: Product code, Desc Main Lang, Commodity and Commission Code. If any of these fields is left blank, you cannot save the default record.

    2. Once you have entered the fields you wish to default, update the record.

    3. Recall the record and then select one of the following (from Defaults on the Options menu):
       • Set operator - the default is created for the operator logged into Enterprise.
       • Set company - the default record is created for all operators that log into Enterprise.

         Note: Once a default is set, the Product code field is blank.

    To remove a default record, select one of the following options (from Defaults on the Options menu):

    • Delete Operator - the default record is removed for the operator logged into the Enterprise system.
