Sales item data

In Item Base Data, you can specify items and item data on a general level. Before you can complete sales procedures, you must also specify sales-related item data in Sales Item Data.

Specifying item sales data and default sales data for an item group

Before order transactions can be used in Sales, sales-specific item data must be specified in the Item - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session. You must make sure that the item already exists in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. To enter a sales item, you must specify a large amount of information. If you generate default values, you can drastically reduce the amount of data entry required when you enter a new sales item. The item group is used in combination with the item type to set up item defaults. You can enter defaults for sales items that belong to an item group in the Item - Sales Defaults (tdisa0102s000) session.

The usual procedure for specifying item sales defaults and then sales items is as follows:

  1. Enter an item group in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session.
  2. Define item - general defaults in the Item - General Defaults (tcibd0102s000) session, in which you must enter the Item Group that you previously defined in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session.
  3. Click Sales Data in the Item - General Defaults (tcibd0102s000) session. As a result, the Item - Sales Defaults (tdisa0102s000) session starts in which you can enter item - sales defaults for the combination of Item Type and Item Group.
  4. Enter an item in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session for the combination of Item Type and Item Group that you previously defined in the Item - General Defaults (tcibd0102s000) session. As a result, the default values from the Item - General Defaults (tcibd0102s000) session are inserted in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session.
  5. Click Item - Sales in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. As a result, the Item - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session starts in which you can enter the sales data for the item that you created in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session. LN inserts the default values from the Item - Sales Defaults (tdisa0102s000) session in the Item - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session.

You can maintain the following sales related item data in the Item - Sales (tdisa0501m000) session:

Note

To generate transactions for the sales item, ordering-related item data must be specified in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100s000) session and costing-related item data must be calculated in the Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session.

Specifying item - sales business partner data

Use the Item - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session to define sales business partner-specific information by item. This information is used to determine how a sales order is sold and delivered to the specific sold-to business partner. This information overrides the item sales data and item warehousing data for the item and it is used to determine how the order is supplied and charged for the specified sold-to business partner.

Tip

You can use the Relation Management Dashboard (tdsmi1500m000) session to view, maintain, and create sold-to business partner-related data. You can use this session to display all business partners that are relevant for a specific account manager. he Account Manager Dashboard (tdsmi1500m000) session gives a quick overview of sold-to business partner information and easy access to sold-to business partner-related data, as a result of which account managers are supported in their daily tasks of handling business partner requests and proposals in a flexible and correct way.

Note

You can also use the Item - Sales (tdisa0601m000) session to specify item sales data and item - sales business partner data. This session enables you to quickly enter the most important sales information for an item.
