It's been a while, but it looks as if things around here are getting busier again. I was asked about item dimensions in IC and while I believe the question had come up before, I was unable to find any old postings of mine or anything related to this. Basically... it appears there are no fields for an item's dimensions (length, width, height) in Inventory. There's a Weight field - which is good - but no dimensions. Am I missing something or are they really not there?
Assuming they are just not there, how does one work around that? I suggested using the optional fields or the 4 empty lines under the Vendors tab. Does Softrak or anyone else have any better ideas?
I was even thinking of putting all three dimensions in the same line and then parse the string and extract length, width and height from that single field. This way, we would use up only one field - not three.

Along those same lines: Once we somehow have those dimensions in Inventory, would there be a way to export that information out of Inventory and get it into Purchase Orders for Adagio (see below question from my boss)?

"are you saying we can use three blank fields for an item length, width
and height and then have Softrack add a formula to the purchase order
screen that will pull those pieces of data and come up with L x W X H=
case cube and then it will multiply case cube by # of cases and come up
with a cube per item and a cube total for the order?"

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Andre
