In the Create Item Instance page, you can create an item instance.
The page has regions for general item information, instance specific attributes, owner information,current and install locations, item flags, and flexfields. If you are aware of another item instance inOracle Install Base that has many of the same values for this information, then use the copy iteminstance procedure instead.
Prerequisites
The item and item number for an item instance must already be defined in the Oracle InventoryMaster Item window by selecting the field Track in Installed Base.
General Information
The Version Label and Status fields, if they are not populated, default to the values of the profileoption CSI: Default Version Label and CSI: Default Instance Status respectively. Accountingclassification defaults to Customer Product if it is not populated.

Search region
Results region
You can search for item instances or systems using three search pages: Simple Search,Advanced Search, or Views. You can switch between the search pages by clicking theappropriate Simple Search, Advanced Search, orViews button.
A view is a saved search. For simple or advanced searches that will be useful to repeatin the future, save them as views, and reuse them as needed.

The basic search process is as follows: Select the search page that you want to use.
Prepare to perform the search as follows: For simple searches, enter the search parameters. For advanced searches, optionally add in extra search parameters from an
extensive list, then enter your search parameters. To use views, invoke a previously saved search or view.
