Inventory: Items List - Add Customer Column

Is there a reason why we cannot customise lists and windows to add more columns. For instance in the Inventory Items list it would be helpful to have a customer or job number column. Alternatively being able to add colums from the custom list on the card detail tab from the Card List.

    Does anyone else think that the inventory should have customisable fields?

     

    Only having item number, item name, qty on hand, last price, and sell price seems very restricting.

     

    I suggest this as a business owner with thousands of products and trying to remember every items most important information is impossible, and with the extra fields for custom information sorting through inventory lists could be much quicker and easier.

     

    I think this would be helpful for alot of businesses that stock variants of items that are greatly similar to each other, eg

     

    the same items in different colours

    the same items in a different size

    for second hand dealers wether or not something is new in box or second hand

     

    And of course the added advantage of being able to filter the list with custom fields to see all items of one category together would be massively helpful.

     

    Having fields you could see in your inventory list would help when looking for a specific item and make the parctice of managing the stock data base much easier

      Thank you very much for your suggestion BoutiqueGaming

       

      While the Item List Summary report can be customised to display the Custom Lists, having the ability to view the Custom List directly from the Item List screen would make inventory managing easier.

       

      We would love to hear what everyone thinks, please do cast your vote if you wish to see this option in AccountRight, and leave comments if required. 

  • I run a business with thousands of different parts and they are in ther own bins which are in allocated bays on wharehouse shelving.For example part number ABC is in bay 17B. At a glance on the "Inventory" Tab, under "Itemls List", which tells me quantity on hand, price etc..., i need a column also showing this wharehouse location. I am amazed this feature doesnt exist. I have all my parts with the locations on an excel spreadsheet and it would be good if i could just import that info into MYOB.

    Would love to here MYOB's feedback on this.

      Hello Frank,

       

      I have clients with a similar need to you and for them we use the Customs List or the Custom Fields feature in MYOB Items Details tab.

      Depending on how many Bays / bins you have you could use the Custom Lists. If there are a very large number then the Custom Field would be used .
