How to link pictures to inventory items

  • Create a folder to store your pictures in. As an example create a folder called Pictures in the data folder. C:\OneSource\Data\Pictures
  • Open Company Setup and Preferences
    • Select the Global Tab
    • Select the Document Management Tab
  • In the Default Inventory Item Document Management Path (The Bottom One) put the path to your picture folder C:\OneSource\Data\Pictures
  • Each of the pictures needs to be named with the Item Number in order for OneSource to link the picture to the part. 
    • If the Item number is AC41-000-BOC then this is how the picture needs to be named AC41-000-B0C.jpg
    • All pictures must be in the .jpg format
