| 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 Production Item 360 (timfc1500m000) session If you select an item in the item list in the Production Item 360 (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. 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

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)
