I wonder if there is an option to have column in a GI to enter data on the GI itself and than we can use an import scenario to update data entry forms in Acumatica.
Please let me know, Thank you

Generic Inquiries are, by design, readonly. You could attach a side panel which would allow you to enter data and save.
The only way to allow changes to be made to a GI-looking screen would be to build a custom screen.

Daryl’s right. There are options to mass update fields if you’re planning on giving multiple items the same values though.
You can also use a GI as a source of data for an import scenario to update other fields somewhere else in the system if you want to map them out. Or use a side panel to select a line, then have the editable screen right there to modify the information.
But to edit an inquiry you should first consider what an inquiry is. You’re querying a database for information. The GI shows you the results of that query.
This is how I did it:
Here I have added two blank fields to the stock item primary list:
Here is the data provider:
I then build the import scenario to update the item description:
When you go to import by scenario, you will be able to populate values into these empty fields, save it and then import them:
