Items

The Items table provides information on the items used for production and R&D of our products. Items are essential to the usage within TIGA, including creating work orders, purchase orders, inventories, and many more. To maintain a standard, only the “Item Processor” group can add, edit, or remove the record in the table. Please check the descriptions below and the guideline for creating a record in the Items table. TIGA will automatically generate a unique ID for the item once it is added.
