                      By Joanne Simmons   

Question:
I need to set up new inventory items that we import from other countries. There needs to be a way to designate the country of its origin.

The item master status maintenance includes two new fields for just that reason - a country code field and a field for the amount of tariff charges for each item. The country code displays in order entry and has been added to UPS WorldShip ODBC tables.
