File Maintenance

File Maintenance menu

Each selection on the File Maintenance menu represents a master or a system-maintained file. These files are arranged in logical order on the menu, so you can enter information into each file in the order shown. If you need to change this information after you complete the Initial Setup phase, you can change most of the fields and files through File Maintenance in the Live Operations phase.

After you set up your Products and Warehouses files, you can save time in setting up your Products By Warehouse file by running the Create Products By Warehouse Records utility to create records in the Products By Warehouse file. This function creates records using default data from the Products and Warehouses files. Then use the Products By Warehouse File Maintenance function to edit the records you created. After data is entered for each File Maintenance function, use the corresponding List function to print out and verify the information. You may print these lists as often as necessary to check the status of each file.
