Inventory Transaction Class Record View
Inventory Transaction Classes are used to categorize inventory transactions within specific transaction types and assign specific default values and business rules for each. They are assigned when the New icon is selected for Inventory transactions. For example, if there was a need to differentiate transfers between Fresh and Frozen, you could create a Transaction Class for "Fresh" that applies to Inventory Transfers. The purpose of this page is to add, edit, remove, and activate/inactive these records.

When users update the value selected in this field, the Transaction Class Record View will automatically refresh to display the Properties for the selected Transaction Class. |
Properties Tab
These properties support Rolldown: A check box to identify whether or not the corresponding value should be pushed to all records (customers, fishermen, items, vendors) assigned to the Class. On 'Save', the values for all the selected fields will be rolled down the records assigned to the Class.
