Use this form to view and maintain products and product masters of the Item or Service type that have been released to the current company. For example, for a released product, you can maintain details that are related to purchases, sales, storage, and planning.

Tip

Products of the Item type and products of the Service type are both identified by a unique item number that is specific to the company.

Companies and organizations use a product’s base data for operational processes and business analytics.

Note

When you change a product’s base data in the Released product details form, the system does not change the base data in other Microsoft Dynamics AX modules.

Before you use products, the information that is required for the products must be entered in the following setup forms:

Item groups
Item model groups
Product dimension groups
Storage dimension groups
Tracking dimension groups
Posting
Inventory and warehouse management parameters
