| | Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000)Use this session to view and maintain the
data for serialized items that are
individually recorded in inventory. Serialized items are individually recorded
in inventory by serial number in the low volume scenario, which is active if
the Serials in Inventory check
box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is selected. To change the
serialized item inventory view, choose the appropriate option on the View menu. You can also use this session to manually create a new serial number for a
serialized item. At the bottom of the
overview session window, the total quantity of serial numbers is shown for the
serialized item. Note that this is the quantity of serial numbers for the item,
not the quantity in inventory of the item. 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: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
Serial Number The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to
generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data
segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information,
sequence number, and so on. Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools. You can manually enter a new serial number for a serialized
item. The layout of manually entered serial numbers is not controlled by the
serial number mask. Note that if you enter a new serial number, you only add a
serial number, you do not increase the inventory for the item. You can allocate
a serial number that you enter in this way to a receipt line or an adjustment
line. You can only increase the inventory of an item by means of a
warehouse receipt or an adjustment order, in which case you must link the
serial number to the receipt line or the adjustment order line. Available If this check box is selected, the item with the listed serial number is
available for issues from the listed warehouse and, if a location is defined,
the location. If this check box is cleared, the item with the listed serial number is
not available for issues for any of the following reasons: - The item is blocked. When the item/serial number combination is
blocked, this check box is automatically cleared for the item.
- The item/serial number combination is not yet received in
the warehouse or warehouse location.
- An outbound advice is generated for the item. If the serial
number is replaced on the outbound advice or the picking list, this check box
is selected again.
Serial Origin The origin of the serialized item. Effectivity Unit The effectivity unit that is
linked to the lot to which the serialized item belongs. You can specify the
effectivity unit of the lot in the Item - Lot (whltc1100m000) session. Lot The lot to which the serialized
item belongs. Order The order from which the serialized item originates. Issue Date The date on which the serialized item is withdrawn from
inventory. Receipt Date The date on which the items are actually received in the
destination warehouse. Buy-from Business Partner The business partner from whom you order goods or services;
this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes
the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery
terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner. Partner's Serial Number If the business partner's serial number for the item is
available, you can enter it in the current field. E-item Revision Choose Search Revision, to search the most recent revision
of the engineering item. You can only search for the most recent revision if: - The item is revision
controlled. Therefore, the Revision Controlled check box on the Item - General (tcibd0101s000) session must be selected for the item.
- Item revisions are
taken into account in the Lot Control module. Therefore, the Engineering Revisions in Lot Control check box on the Lot Control Parameters (whltc0100s000) session must be selected.
On Hand Note The inventory on
hand of a serialized item can be 1 or 0. Inventory Date A date that is assigned to items when they are stored. You can
use inventory dates to retrieve items based on FIFO (First In First Out) or
LIFO (Last In First Out), without carrying out extensive lot control. The meaning of the inventory date is connected to the
outbound priority of LIFO, FIFO, or the product expiry date of the item. With outbound priority LIFO or FIFO, the default for the
inventory date is the system date; however, you can overwrite this so that the
inventory date does not have to be equal to the storage date. If the item has a
particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined
for the item. Blocked Note The inventory on
hold of a serialized item can be 1 or 0. Location The location in which the serialized item is stored if it is on
hand. Allocated Note The allocated
inventory of a serialized item can be 1 or 0. Location Allocated The location in which the serialized item is stored if it is
allocated. On Order Note The inventory on
order of a serialized item can be 1 or 0. 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. All Transactions If this check box is selected, the serialized item is
blocked for all transactions. Outbound If this check box is selected, the serialized item is
blocked for issuing. Therefore, you cannot issue the serialized item. You can
(un)block the serialized item in the Warehouse - Item - (Un)Block Serials by Transaction (whwmd6136m000) session. Transfer (Issue) If this check box is selected, the serialized item is
blocked for transfer out of the warehouse/location. You can (un)block the
serialized item in the Warehouse - Item - (Un)Block Serials by Transaction (whwmd6136m000) session. Assembly If this check box is selected, the serialized item is
blocked for assembly. Therefore, you cannot use the serialized item for the
assembly of goods. You can (un)block the serialized item in the Warehouse - Item - (Un)Block Serials by Transaction (whwmd6136m000) session. | |
