Maintaining Inventory Categories

This topic explains how to maintain the following inventory categories in the Master Data Admin module. Users select items in these categories from drop-down lists when they adjust or transfer inventory in AcuityLogic POS and AcuityLogic DC.

  • Inventory Adjustment Reasons
  • Inventory Return Types
  • Inventory Transfer Reasons
You cannot delete an item from a drop-down list after you create it. To hide items in drop-down lists, assign them a view order of 0.
