The Keys Field

The Keys Field

The keys field is located in the upper left corner of any inventory screen in the Inventory module.

Like other modules in the NCAS, the NEXT FUNCTION field is used to navigate from screen to screen in the Inventory module. In addition, the KEYS field is used to directly access specific data on an IN screen.

In other words, to access data on an IN screen, you must specify both of the following:

A three or four letter screen identifier in the NEXT FUNCTION field

Note: Some screen identifiers in the Inventory module may be four letters, unlike the three letter screen identifiers used in most of the other NCAS modules.

The data identifier, known as the key(s), in the KEYS field

The key, which is the value or data identifier that is entered in the KEYS field, is a critical piece of data used by the NCAS to search for information. The warehouse identifier (the name or number used to identify the warehouse in the NCAS) and the item number are commonly used keys.
