While attributes are described here primarily for work orders, attributes also relate to purchase orders, repetitive transactions, and advanced repetitive transactions. Attributes you enter on an order eventually are assigned to inventory records during order receipt—whether it is a purchase order, work order, or repetitive transaction. The only difference among order types is where in the order process the attributes are assigned.

The inventory status attribute can be defined for any unique combination of item number, site, location, lot/serial, and reference. The following table describes which attributes can be defined for each order type and indicates the programs where you define them.

See Inventory Attribute Active Field.

You can use the two programs in boldface type to modify attributes only when Compliance Active is Yes.
