| | Item - General (tcibd0101s000) Use this session to maintain general item data. Note - General item data is the item data that applies to all the LN packages.
- You can define the item data that is specific for the LN packages in the Item
sessions of the packages. This data is called the subentity item data. You can
use the buttons on the Subentities tab page of the session to start the
package-specific Item sessions.
- If you use Data Management, you can set up the change control of the item by means of Change Management change
orders. In the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session you can enter and select a number of
fields and check boxes in the Change Control section to indicate the type of change
control that is required for the item.
Example You can maintain the 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. The item type The item type that you select in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session is the item's default item type. You can
temporarily change the item type of purchased and manufactured items in the Date-Effective Item Data (tcibd0510m000) session. To start this session, click the Date-Effective Item Data button. Item The item code. 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 the Product Configuration module cannot contain these
characters. If the Check Project Code in Item Code check box is selected in the Item Base Data Parameters (tcibd9199m000) session, you cannot define items of which
the first part of the item name equals a project code in LN.
Item Data I Characteristics 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. You can define default values for an
item type/item group combination in the Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session. You can click Date-Effective Item Data to start the Date-Effective Item Data (tcibd0510m000) session and temporarily change the item type of
items of type Purchased and Manufactured. Item Group The item's item group. You must assign every item to an item group. To select the item group you can: - Select or create an item group in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session.
- Select the item's default data from the Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session. The item default data includes the
item group.
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 The source that supplies an item by default. An item can be
supplied by using purchase orders, production orders, assembly orders, or
warehousing orders. The default supply source determines what type of order is
used to supply the item, but in general, you can override the default and
specify an alternate 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. Shop Floor Assembly Purchase
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 - 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.
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: | Kind of
item | Project segment | Type | Default

Item Type Specification A further specification of items of the Purchased or List item
type. 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: 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. Environmental Compliance Worldwide, various regulations exist to limit the use of
hazardous chemical substances in electronic equipment preventing environmental
pollution. Companies, in most cases producers of electronic
equipment, are legally required to: - Set up and control compliancy rules.
- Verify whether purchased, engineered, manufactured, and
serviced material is compliant.
- Verify whether their work processes are
compliant.
This field indicates the item's
environmental compliancy. The value in this field can be set by an external
software application. 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. 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. Unit Data 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. Item Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. Last Modification Date The date the item data was last modified. Item Data II Traceability 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. Unit Effectivity 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 - You can only select this check box if the Lot Controlled check box is selected. The reason is that if you store
effectivity units in inventory, unit information is linked to the item's lot
number: The inventory is stored at lot level, and in the lot, the unit is
recorded. As a result, you can only select the Unit Effective Supply check box if the Lot Controlled check box is selected. Note that if an item is not lot
controlled, the item is stored with unit 0 (zero) in inventory, even if a
demand exists for a specific effectivity unit.
- If this check box is cleared, the Effectivity Units are 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). 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. Search Arguments 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. Classification 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 Control 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. 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. 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. 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. In Process by CHM If this check box is selected, the effectivity unit is
under change management control. If a change proposal is linked to the
effectivity unit, and the change proposal has not yet been approved, LN selects this check
box. In the Change Management (CHM) module you can keep track of the effective and expiry dates of the
effectivity unit according to a defined procedure. 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. Project Pegging Inherit Project Peg If this check box is selected, the dependent components will inherit the
project peg of the main item. Note This check box is visible only if the Project Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. 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 these
sessions: - Item - Ordering (tcibd2100s000)
- Item - Ordering Defaults (tcibd2101s000)
- Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000)
Note This check box is visible only if the Project Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Demand Pegging 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 - The item type must be Manufactured or Purchased, or the item type specification must be Kit.
- This check box is visible only if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
Demand Pegging Type Specify the type of peg, which determines the specification attributes used for demand and
supply matching. Note - The demand side and supply side of the matching process
must be based on the same Demand Pegging Type.
- This check box is visible only if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
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. Grouping Data Selections Product Type User-definable item grouping data that is used as a sorting and
selecting criterion. The product type is intended for classifying items with
similar characteristics for production purposes. Product Class User-definable item grouping data that is used to distinguish
between different groups of items in a product line. The product class is
