This database also affects applications such as General Ledger. The item files comprise the largest body of information inDDMS. Therefore, one of the most important tasks you face when setting up your system is creating an inventory database that gives you maximum pricing, purchasing, and reporting power.
In this section, we describe the basic features you need to consider while creating your inventory database. We'll also explain how to create new items, and how to change and delete items.
