Production Item 360 (timfc1500m000)Use this session to view, maintain, and create item-related data. In a company, engineers are responsible for the development of new products. They also maintain and improve the products during their life cycles. Therefore, engineers must have item-related data at their disposal, for example, to determine the item structure, how the item is manufactured, and which purchase and production processes are involved. Their goal is to carry out continuous development without disturbing the production process and other logistical processes. How to use the Items Dashboard (timfc1500m000) session If you select an item in the item list in the Items Dashboard (timfc1500m000) session, information about the item is displayed. The check marks under Detailed Information indicate which data is available for the item. If you click a link, a session is started in which you can view, maintain, or create the item data. You can click the following links:
If, under Charts, the check box is selected, the engineer can click Planned Inventory Transactions to start the Planned Inventory Transactions - Chart (whinp1700m000) session. Inventory information is important to an engineer, for example, to determine whether the inventory of a specific item is already used up, and to assess whether an item can be phased out.
Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is
recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Serialized If this check box is selected, the item is a serialized item. Revision Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions. Item Group Group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs
to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item
type to set up item defaults. Lot Controlled If this check box is selected, the item must be assigned
to a lot. Unit Effective If this check box is selected, the item is unit effective. Inventory on Hand The physical quantity of goods in one or more warehouses
(including the inventory on hold). Item Signal The code of item signal. During the process of the copying e-item to a standard item, the item signal code can be copied only when the Copy Item Signal Code check box is selected in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session. Revisions Bill of Material Routings Production Orders Subcontracted Operations by End Item Where used in BOMs Purchase Orders Purchase Schedules Business Partners Alternatives Item In LN,
the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be
purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items:
Item Type A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for
example, a purchased item, a manufactured item, or an equipment item. Depending
on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item. Allowed values Search Key I An alternative form of a description used for convenience
during searching. Typically, it is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a mnemonic
alternative to a full description. Search Key II An alternative form of a description used for convenience
during searching. Typically, it is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a mnemonic
alternative to a full description. Product variant The unique identification of a product variant.
Revisions Click to start the Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m000) session to
define a new revision for the item. Business Partners Before updating items, you must know the impact for business
partners involved. The business partners that supply items are listed in the Item - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. Bill of Material Click to start the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session, which defines the product structure
of an item. Alternatives If an item is out of stock, alternative items could be used.
Click to start the Alternative Items (tcibd0505m000) session to define or
view which items are alternatives. Production Orders Engineering changes should affect the production process as
little as possible. Click to start the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) session. You can view
whether disturbances occur, and which production orders are affected. Only
production orders that are not yet reported as complete are
displayed. Routings Click to start the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session to view how
products are manufactured. Where-used BOM Components When you continuously improve products, engineering changes can
occur in items that are used in various BOMs. Click to start the Where-used BOM Components (tibom1512m000) session, in
which you can find the BOMs that are affected. Purchase Orders Engineering changes should affect the purchase process as
little as possible. Click to start the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session to
view purchase orders if disturbances are unavoidable. Employees who are
responsible for the purchases can be informed. Only the purchase order lines
for parts that have not been received are displayed. However, in the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session, you
can click Show All Lines from the appropriate menu to view
all purchase order lines. Purchase Schedules Engineering changes can affect purchase schedules. Click to
start the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session for an
overview, after which you can inform the responsible people. Only the open
purchase schedules are displayed. However, in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session, you can click Show All Schedules from the appropriate menu to view
all purchase schedules. Item Inventory Click to check inventory in the Item Inventory session. Date-Effective Item Data Click to start the Date-Effective Item Data (tcibd0510m000) session to view
