Inventory Item Default Information Fields

The following field information is intended to assist those who design reports for Sage 50 using Crystal Reports.

Filename: GENERAL_INV.DAT

The GENERAL.DAT file contains default information about your Sage 50 company. It contains rows, but each row is very different in layout from the other rows. GENERAL_INV.DAT is the inventory item defaults (Module 7) view of Sage 50's GENERAL.DAT file. Most of the field information for GENERAL_INV.DAT view is entered or displayed in Sage 50's Inventory Item Defaults window.

  • To add Sage 50 inventory item default fields to your Crystal reports, select GENERAL.DAT, and choose the GENERAL_INV.DAT view.

Note: GENERAL.DAT tables cannot be linked to other Sage 50 data tables, but they can be used individually to extract various default information in your Crystal reports.
