Item Master
Settings Tab
ID1:  Enter a label here to define the primary way to segment inventory for the selected item.  For example, enter 'Length' to track different lengths under one item code.
ID2:  Define a second measurement (if needed).  For example, you can track 'Length' under ID1 and use ID2 for 'Width' to track different sizes of plate. 
#Lot tab
Lengths:  This button is only available if the 'Track Length' option is selected on the Settings screen.  Selecting it displays a screen where you can view/add/delete the different ID1/ID2 combinations and set up formulas to calculate base cost and weight for the different length and width combinations -- assuming ID1 is Length and ID2 is width.  Here's what the screen looks like:
 'F' button:
 'F' button:  This displays a dropdown where you can selected predefined formulas from the ITEMIDCALC rule (defined more in the Rules section below).     
Calculations
Cost Calc:  This calculation can determine a specific base cost for each ID1/ID2 combination.  This base cost can be used for customer pricing.  For example, a customer tier of WALKIN can be set up to pay 75% over this base cost.  
Available fields for the calculation are defined in the Factors section below.Factors
Cost Factor:  This can be used to set up a certain cost as it pertains to the ID1/ID2 combination.  The expression is [cf] if you want to use it in a calculation. For example, if ID1 represents length, the amount entered here can reference a certain base cost per foot or inch.  This calculation would be entered as '[id1]*[cf]' to calculate the base cost per foot, assuming ID1= Length and 
cf= base cost per foot.

Database tables
 ItemID:  This table contains the fields in the grid of the Lengths tab.  
 ITEMIDCALC:  This table links the calculations available in the ITEMIDCALC rule to the specific item code.  It also contains the base cost and weight factors from the Lengths screen.     
Rules
 ITEMIDCALC:  This rule contains the calculations available in the Lengths screen.   
 Desc:
 Desc:  This is what displays in the dropdown when choosing the calculation.  
 Type:  These types control where the rule displays on the Lengths screen.  Valid types are:  COST - displays in the 'Cost Calc' drop down; WT - displays in the 'Wt Calc' drop down; LEN - displays in the 'Length Calc' drop down; SQFT - displays in the 'SqFt Calc' drop down.
