To add a new catalogue item follow these steps:

1. From the Catalogue dropdown list, choose the catalogue in which to place the item.
2. Type in an Item Number.
3. Type in an Item Description.
4. From the Category Explorer on the left, choose the category level under which you want to place the new item. This will appear in the table to the right.
5. Proceed as Maintain Existing Items.
6. Click  Update.

After entering an item manually, it will not be available immediately in the item search until the search index has been rebuilt. The search index is automatically rebuilt regularly.

Note that any changes to catalogue items undertaken manually in Item Maintenance may be overwritten by an electronically bulk loaded catalogue.
