Header Fields

To create a new configuration, users select a division, a customer, and a location for the selected customer.  This is done through the VMI Configuration Search form.

Users enter this customer, division, and location in the configuration search form, then select New.  This will open the configuration form itself.

Once in the form, users can enter start and end dates.  These are optional fields, but the pair must be unique for the division/customer/location.  That is, there are can be multiple records with the same start date as well as with the end date, but a specific start and end date must be unique for division/customer/location.  This includes null values.
