Purchase record attributes

Attributes are used to categorize items. For example, the purchasing record for a computer can have the attributes of memory, disk space, and speed. When you create a purchase order, you can use the Classifications feature to search for items based on attributes.

Attributes are set up in the Classifications application and are then associated with individual items in the Item Master application. When you view a purchasing record, you can see any attributed associated with the line item on the Specifications tab.

When you add line items to a purchase order, you can search for items by attribute. If your inventory has many types of similar items, using Classifications can help you locate the exact type of item that you want to add.
