Item List

Item List Screen

The Item List allows navigating through the list of all items.

In this window you will find all active items of Inventory Part, Inventory Assembly, Other Charge (with fixed amount) and Service type with their sales descriptions and current quantities on hand (QOH). {{File:Infocircle.png | 30px]] Quantity on hand is shown in base units of measure. Infocircle.png Tapping on the column headers of the grid sorts the list alphanumerically.


Info-sign.png If your company file contains more than 5000 active items of Inventory Part, Inventory Assembly, Service and Other Charge (with fixed amount) types (for HandiFox Multi-Location - more than 5000 items at current location) then the Item List opens blank. To see the items, type an item name or just first few symbols of it in the Look for Name field.

When the user types into the Look for Name field the system scrolls to the first name that starts with the entered sequence, and highlights it.

  • Filter check box

Tap it to open the Item Filter window.
