General Tab of the Request for Price Quote Line Detail Dialog Box

Use the General tab to enter or edit data that identifies the item that is selected on the General tab of the Request for Price Quote form.

If you enter an item that is not in the Items list and Automatic Add/Items is selected on the General tab of the Purchasing & Inventory Company Settings form in Configuration > Purchasing & Inventory > Company Settings, DPS displays a notice that tells you the item was not found and then asks if you want to add the item to the list.

This procedure is informally known as adding an item "on-the-fly." You add the item on the dialog box and it is not necessary to navigate to Settings > Purchasing & Inventory > Items Master. If you click Yes, the New Item dialog box displays.
