Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000)

	Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000) Use this session to list default general item data, which you can specify for item groups. You can view, enter, and change the default item data in the Item - General Defaults (tcibd0102s000) details session. Related topics Setting up the item data Item Type The item type to which the default values apply. Allowed values Item Type (a.k.a. kind of item) Item Group The item group to which the default values apply. Default Supply Source The default value for the Default Supply Source field in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. Configurable If this check box is selected, the item is a configurable item. Note For Manufactured items with the Default Supply Source set to Assembly and for Generic items, this check box is by default selected and disabled. If this check box is selected for a Purchased item, the Purchase Schedule in Use check box is by default selected and disabled. Item Type Spec. A further specification of items of the type Purchased or List. If the item type is Purchased, you can specify that the item is a tool. If the item type is List, you can specify whether the item is a: Kit Option Menu Purchase Schedule in Use If this check box is selected, orders for the item are issued according to a purchase schedule. You cannot select this check box for items of the Generic type and for customized items. If you change this check box and you have already defined the item's ordering data in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session or the Items - Ordering Defaults (tcibd2501m000) session, you must redefine the ordering system in the item ordering data. Schedule Type The purchase schedule type. If you clear the Purchase Schedule in Use check box, LN sets this field to Not Applicable. Subcontracted If this check box is selected, the item's entire production process is subcontracted. Related topics Item subcontracting - setup Overview of subcontracting Subassembly If this check box is selected, the item is a subassembly. Related topics Overview of subcontracting To subcontract operations (manufacturer's side) Unit Set The default unit set for items of this item type and item group. Inventory Unit The default inventory unit for items of this item type and item group. Weight Unit The default weight unit for items of this item type and item group. The item's weight is expressed in the weight unit on the intrastat report. Weight The default weight of items of this item type and item group, expressed in the weight unit. This information is required on the intrastat report. Revision Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions. Related topics Engineering data management summary Lot Controlled If this check box is selected, the item must be assigned to a lot. Related topics Lot control Serialized If this check box is selected, occurrences of the items are serialized items. LN generates the serial numbers by using a mask, or you can enter the serial numbers manually. Note If you cannot select this check box, because the check box is greyed out, the rounding factor of the serialized item's inventory unit may be wrong. You must set the rounding factor in the Units (tcmcs0101m000) session to 1.0. Related topics Overview of serialized items To set up serialized items Unit Effective End Item If this check box is selected, you can generate effectivity units for an item: You can generate effectivity units for an item in the Items - Effectivity Series (tcuef0101m000) session after you defined an effectivity series. An effectivity unit is automatically generated when you insert a unit effective item on a sales order line, sales quotation line, or sales contract line. In this case, also the Generate Effectivity Unit during Order Entry check box in the Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0500m000) session must be selected. If this check box is selected and inactive, effectivity units are already linked to this item, and you cannot change the setting of the check box anymore. End items and their effectivity units are displayed in the Effectivity Units (tcuef0502m000) session. If this check box is cleared, effectivity units cannot be generated automatically for the item, but you can still manually link an effectivity unit to the item on a sales order line or a quotation order line. If, for example, the item is a spare part, you can insert on a sales order line the effectivity unit of the item in which the spare part is used. Related topics Overview of unit effectivity Unit Effective Supply Order planning in Enterprise Planning results in calculating the demand for the components of parent items. If an effectivity unit is assigned to the parent item, you can choose whether the components of the parent item must be specified by the parent item's effectivity unit: If this check box is selected, LN communicates the parent item's effectivity unit to the component items. This means that if the same component item is used in several unit effective parent items, several orders are generated for the component item, each order with its own effectivity unit. If this check box is cleared, LN does not communicate the parent item's effectivity unit to the component items. This is useful when the effectivity unit of parent item is not relevant for the lower part of the item structure: Although components are demanded for 100 different effectivity units, you only get one supply order of 100 pieces for the standard configuration instead of 100 orders. Note If this check box is selected, the Interchangeable check box is always selected and inactive. In this way, the demand is matched with available inventory, regardless of the effectivity unit. Example Item C is a purchased item that is used in two unit effective end items, A and B. One end item, item A, has effectivity unit 15, and the other end item, item B, has effectivity unit 16. If the Unit Effective Supply check box is selected for item C, and a demand for item C is required when producing items A and B, two purchase orders for item C are created: One purchase order with effectivity unit 15, and another purchase order with effectivity unit 16. If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared for item C, only one purchase order is created to order two items C. The effectivity unit is 0 (zero).

EAN Code The default bar code used to register the items. Cost Component A cost component is a user-defined category for the classification of costs. Cost components have the following functions: To break down an item's cost price, sales price, or valuation price. To create a comparison between the estimated production order costs and the actual production order costs. To calculate production variances. To view the distribution of your costs over the various cost components in the Cost Accounting module. Cost components can be of the following cost types: Material Costs Operation Costs Surcharge on Material Costs Surcharge on Operation Costs WIP Transfer Costs General Costs Note If you use Assembly Control (ASC), you cannot use cost components of the General Costs type. Because the cost type is used in Project or Service, the cost component must be of the Not Applicable or the Material Costs type. Note List items do not have cost components. Extra Information ...
