Creating a list of master items

You can create and manage a list of master items for your organization. Master items are common items that technicians can use while adding purchase items to their purchase orders. For each master item you can specify:

• Master Item Information
  • Product Name
  • Product Type
  • Part Number
  • Price
  • Version
  • Manufacturer
• Vendor Information
  • Vendor name
  • Maintenance Vendor
• Support Information
  • Support type
  • Warranty
  • Contact name

You can also specify custom fields that enable you to specify customized text, integers, or dates for a master item.

2. Click Purchasing.
3. Click Master Items. Track-It! displays the Master Items module controls and the list of master items.

4. Click New. The New Master Item dialog box is displayed.
