I am having difficulty getting our items in item maintenance to show up on tab 6 under Sales Orders and Work orders appropriately. Am I missing a setup somewhere to make this work for all items? It works when we create a purchase order...

My apologies for asking the obvious ... you are remembering to change the filter at the top of the screen from PO to SO or WO?
Yes. LOL, it's ok to ask. Someone else prior to me set up our system, and I've gotten most of the glitches out of it to set it up appropriately, but this is really frustrating. We just implemented MRP and are trying to make sure we have a full work through on everything, but it seems some things just aren't working the way they are supposed to and I have a feeling it's a set up I just can't locate.
Req for WO is not the same thing as On WO.
Typically in our world, it should either show up on a W/O or a sales order, so REQ or Required for WO would be the same as ON Work order. If it's not, please explain, because I guess maybe that's where the confusion is.

Req for WO means it is being used in a WO as an ingredient, and it will not show up on tab 6.
On WO means it is being produced in a WO, and this type will show up on tab 6.
Ahhh, I see. Does having Bill of Materials fix this, or make it work better I guess is the question?
We don't use work order or MRP, nor do we reference sales orders on our POs. I've never had issues with the sales orders not showing up on tab 6 & the only problems I've had with incorrect data showing on tab 1 are cleared up by rebuilding the sort files. We do use bill of materials, though, and I would not expect it to fix any of the problems you are describing.
An item On Work Order means that it is being produced as a result of a work order. Required for WO means that it is a component on a work order. There is no way that an item would be the same. For example if you had a valve on a work on and the parts are body, ball, stem, end. The Valve itself would be On Work Order while the ball and stem would be Required for Work Order.
