Items - General (tcibd0501m000)Use this session to list general item data, which you can define and modify in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) details session. General item data is the item data that applies to all the LN packages. In addition to general item data, you can also define item data that is specific for a particular LN package. This item data is defined in that particular LN package. Example You can define item data that specifically applies to sales transactions in the Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session. Before you can define the sales item data, you must first define the item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. Copy items If you want to define an item that has many details in common with an existing item, you can copy the existing item. Take the following steps:
Delete items You can also delete item data. Therefore, you either:
If you delete items, also the following data is deleted for the items:
In case of a generic item, also the following data is deleted for the item:
Item Segmented item codes consist of a project-code segment and an item-base segment (the item code). You can define the item code segmentation in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session. Note If the item is a generic item, the following characters are not allowed in the item code:
The reason is that object files that are generated for constraints in Product Configuration cannot contain these characters. Item Type The item's default item type. Allowed values Search Key I The search key for the item. Default value The first 16 characters of the item's Name field. Periods and characters preceding them are not included in the search key. Search Key II The second search key for the item. Default value The first 16 characters of the item's Name field. Periods and characters preceding them are not included in the search key. Product Variant A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature options, components, and operations. Example Configurable item: electric drill Options:
A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options. Option Set A group of possible values of a characteristic. For each value (option) you can indicate whether it is acceptable or not. The options blue and red form an option set Example
Item Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Item Group The item's item group. You must assign every item to an item group. To select the item group you can:
If you defined default item data for the item type and item group in the Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session, LN enters the default data in the relevant fields of the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. You can use the default values or change the values as required. Default Supply Source This field can be used to determine what type of supply order LN must create if you enter a sales order for this item and the item's inventory on hand is not sufficient.
If the item type is Manufactured or Generic, this field can be Shop Floor or Assembly. If the item type is Engineering Module, this field is Assembly and cannot be changed. If the item type is Purchased, this field is Purchase and cannot be changed. Configurable If this check box is selected, the item is a configurable item. Note
Customized If this check box is selected, a standard item is configured or customized. The customized item either references a product variant, or has a project code as part of the item code in case of standard-to-order (STO)/engineered-to-order customization. The check box is selected automatically for the following configurations:
Item Type Specification Purchase Schedule in Use If this check box is selected, orders for the item are issued according to a purchase schedule. You can select this check box only for items of the types:
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. For items of types other than Purchased and Manufactured, LN clears the Purchase Schedule in Use check box and you cannot change the selection of the check box. Date-Effective Item Data present If this check box is selected, Date-effective item data is present for the item. Schedule Type The purchase schedule type: Subcontracted If this check box is selected, the item's entire production process is subcontracted. Subassembly If this check box is selected, the item is a subassembly. Unit Set The item's unit set. 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. Weight Unit The weight unit in which the item's weight is expressed on the intrastat report. For details, see EU transaction reporting. Weight The item's weight, expressed in the item's weight unit. This information is required on the intrastat report. For details, see EU transaction reporting. Lot Controlled If this check box is selected, the item must be assigned to a lot. Serialized If this check box is selected, occurrences of the item 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. If this check box is cleared, you can still manually define serial numbers for this item in the Serialized Items (tcibd4501m000) session. Unit Effective End Item If this check box is selected, the item is unit effective. 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
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). Effectivity Units are Interchangeable If this check box is selected, the unit-effective item is interchangeable. This check box is always selected and inactive if the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared. In this way, the demand is matched with available inventory, regardless of the effectivity unit. Material The material of which the item is composed. This field is only used for information. Standard The industrial standard used to produce or purchase the item. For example, NEN3140 or ISO9000. This field is only used for information. Size The item's size. This field is only used for information. Change Order The change order that determines the item's effective date. LN cannot use the item before the effective date. The change order is linked to the item in the Change Management module of Data Management. Effective Date The date and time when the item becomes effective. LN cannot use the item on any order or plan before the effective date. This allows you to define items in advance, before they are actually ordered or produced. The date is supplied by the Change Management (CHM) module of Data Management. CHM Control If this check box is selected, you can use Change Management (CHM) change orders to control the item data and to control the effectivity dates of the item's BOM data and routing data in Common. You can then select or clear the other Change Control fields and check boxes. By default, Common selects this check box if you selected the Object Data Management (DM) check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Effectivity Dates by CO If you want to control the effectivity dates of the item's BOMs and routings by means of Change Management change orders of Data Management, select this check box. If the Change Management Allowed check box is selected and you clear this check box, LN applies the changes according to the approved change orders but does not record the effective dates. This allows you to track the changes that are made to the item, the BOM, and the routing of which the effective dates are not important. Multiple COs If you select this check box, a single BOM line or routing operation can be controlled by more than one change order at a time. The first change order that is approved makes the BOM line or routing operation effective. If the Effectivity Dates by CO check box is selected, you can select and clear this check box. Last Modification Date The date the item data was last modified. Product Type Product Class Product Line Configuration Group The configurable item 's default configuration group. Manufacturer The item's default manufacturer. Restrict Commingling and Transfers If this check box is selected, the need for an export license will be displayed on various sessions and reports in Warehousing, Sales, and Procurement. Note To specify this check box, the Project Pegging check box must be selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Restricted by Components If this check box is selected, an export license is required for some of the item's components. Inherit Project Peg If this check box is selected, the dependent components will inherit the project peg of the main item. Mandatory Project Peg If this check box is selected, the item must be pegged to project. If this check box is selected, the Safety Stock must be zero in the following sessions:
Note If this check box is cleared for a cost item or service item, the Always Project Peg Cost Items without Warehouse check box in the Procurement Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session determines if project pegging is applicable for the item if no warehouse is linked. Demand Pegged If this check box is selected, demand pegging is enabled for the item. Sales orders and service orders for the item can be pegged in order to have pegged supply. Note
Demand Pegging Type Specify the type of peg, which determines the specification attributes used for demand and supply matching. Note
Allowed values Use Unallocated Inventory If this check box is selected, unallocated inventory can be allocated and used to supply the demand order. First, allocated inventory is used, then unallocated inventory. If this check box is cleared, only allocated inventory can be used. Note This check box is visible only if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Critical Safety Item If this check box is selected, the item is a critical safety item. Note On barcode labels, e.g. Odette Transport Label or Global Transport Label (GTL), a control symbol (circle with inscribed inverted triangle) may be printed in case of safety items on buyer's request. Country of Origin The country where the item was originally manufactured. This field is used on Intrastat declarations. Selection Code Technical Coordinator Commodity Code Item Signal EAN Code The bar code used to register the item. Cost Component The cost component used for the item in Project or Service. The cost component must be of the type Not Applicable or Material Costs. Note List items do not have cost components. Extra Information The additional information about the item. Revision Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions. Actual Revision The latest revision of the item. LN displays the revision number if a relationship is established between the engineering item and the item in the Engineering Item - Item Relationship (tiedm1101m000) session, and the engineering item revision is Approved by Production. Update Method E-Item Relation The selected value indicates how LN handles the relationship between revisions of the engineering item and standard items or customized items. Allowed values Derived-from Item The item code of the standard item from which the customized item is derived. If a standard item is copied to a customized item using the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000) session, LN displays the standard item code in the customized item's Derived-from Item field. Note Click Unlink Derived-from Item to unlink the derived from item. Type of Replacement The item's replacement status. Allowed values
