Store finished generic itemsThis topic describes how to set up the items to be able to store the finished end product of an assembly order in inventory. Setup To be able to store a finished generic item in inventory, you must define two items: a generic item and a standard item. Both items represent the same physical item. In Assembly Control, you use the generic item. In Sales Control and Warehousing, you use the associated standard item. To specify which standard item is associated with the generic item, use the Configurable Item - Assembly Line (tiapl2500m000) session. Item settings For the generic item and the standard item, use the following item settings:
The reason why the Serials in Inventory check box must be selected, is that Warehousing would otherwise not be able to distinguish between product variants. Additional instructions:
Cost price calculation of the standard item The standard item must have an effective cost component structure. The standard inventory valuation functionality for items in inventory requires such a cost component structure. To specify the inventory valuation method, in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session, select a value in the Inventory Valuation Method field. To obtain the most accurate inventory valuation, select an inventory valuation method based on actual costing. The recommended inventory valuation method is Serial Price (Serial). If the inventory valuation method is Fixed Transfer Price (FTP), which is not an actual costing method, you must calculate a cost price in the Cost Price Calculation module. In this case, LN valuates the item against the calculated fixed transfer price (FTP) of the standard item and ignores differences between the product variants.
