The Inventory module provides warehouse managers with inquiry screens to inquire about items in the system. Item inquiry in the Inventory module requires the item number as the key on most screens.

Item information inquiry screens available in the Inventory module include:

• The Item Number and Description Inquiry (INI) and Item Number Inquiry - II (INI2) screens display item information previously established by the Office of the State Controller on the Item Number Entry (INE) and Item Number Entry - II (INE2) screens. Information displayed on these screens include the item number, item description, unit of measure, group account code, and shelf life type.
• The Item Warehouse Inquiry (IWI) screen displays information and item balances for item/warehouse records established on the Item Warehouse Entry (IWE) screen. The item number must be entered in the first KEYS field; however, the entry of the warehouse identifier in the second KEYS field is optional. If the warehouse identifier is entered in the second KEYS field, the NCAS limits the display on this screen to that specific item/warehouse record rather than all of the records involving the item. However, if only the item number is entered in the KEYS fields, the system browses through all of the item/warehouse combinations as you press ENTER.
• The Find Inventory by Item (FII) screen displays all of the warehouse areas in which a particular item is stored. The data on the Find Inventory by Item (FII) screen changes with each issue, transfer, or receipt of the item. The Item Warehouse Inquiry (IWI) screen may be accessed directly from the Find Inventory by Item (FII) screen. Simply type IWI for the Item Warehouse Inquiry (IWI) screen in the NEXT FUNCTION field and enter any character in the field to the left of the item/warehouse record you want to access.
