The code of the item.
Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000)Use this session to view and maintain the item warehousing data. All items to be used in warehousing, or that can appear on a warehousing order, have a record in this session. You can start this session from within the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session. You can define default values for this session in the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session.
General Item The code of the item. General 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. 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. Item Valuation Group An entity that is used to group items for inventory valuation purposes. To define an item valuation group, you must link an item valuation group code to the items that you want to include in the item valuation group. Item valuation groups and warehouse valuation groups are linked, for example, to inventory valuation methods to valuate the item-warehouse combinations included in the warehouse and item valuation groups. Search Key A search key is an alternate means to retrieve the item. Package Definition The code of the package definition. This is the default package definition for the item. Initially, when you insert the item, this field is disabled, because you cannot insert a package definition before the item is inserted. After entering and saving an item, you can zoom to the Item - Package Definitions (whwmd4130m000) session to create and select a package definition for the item. Allocation Level The inventory allocation level for the current item stored in the current warehouse. The default value is taken from the Allocation Level field of the Inventory Commitments (whinp2100m000) session. For a configurable purchased item, the Allocation Level is treated as Physical Item. This means that when you receive a configurable purchased item, a handling unit is generated, and the specifications, including the option list ID and allocations, are stored in the handling unit. For more information, refer to. Packing Instructions If this check box is selected, packing instructions exist for the package definition. To create packing instructions, click the text button to start the editor and click Create in the dialog that opens. Hazardous Material If this check box is selected, the item is hazardous, which is an important consideration for storage and transport. Class of Risk The class of risk that applies to the hazardous material. This field is only accessible when the Hazardous Material check box is selected. This field is used to select data to print national bills of lading, CMRs, freight documents, and inventory data in the Warehouse Orders module. Exclude from Cycle Counting If this check box is selected, the item-warehouse combination is ignored in case of cycle counting. If Inventory becomes Zero Indicates the value based on which the cycle counting data must be processed if the registered inventory of a stock point becomes zero. The following cycle counting values are available:
Note
Use Fulfillment Plan This field provides the default value for the Use Fulfillment Plan check box in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) details session. Default Supply System The default supply system. The value in the field is retrieved from the Item - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4101s000) session. You can select a default supply system or you can use the value Apply Warehouse Default to specify that the default supply system of the warehouse must be used. You can specify the default supply system of the warehouse in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session. Note The field is not applicable for tool items. Allowed values
Use Item Ordering Data The settings that determine whether item values from the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100s000) session are used as default values to create items in the current session and the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2510m000) session. The default value in this field is taken from the Use Item Ordering Data field of the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session. Allowed values Ownership Registration Level The default value in this field is taken from the Item - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4101s000) session. The following constraints apply to the values of this list:
Issue Priority The default value in this field is taken from the Item - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4101s000) session. List value Not Owned Inventory First is applicable to manufactured items, purchased items, and generic items that are no customized standard-to-order (STO) items. For customized STO items, you must select value Free. However, this value is not available if the value in the Registration Level field is Warehouse. Ownership for Return to Warehouse This field determines how to handle the ownership for production return orders. On a production order, a business partner is not known. As a result, Manufacturing cannot read an agreement. Instead, Manufacturing obtains a default value from the current field. The following values are available: Ownership Behavior Variances Process Inventory Variances Automatically If this check box is selected, LN processes inventory variances automatically. Inventory Storage Data Location Controlled If this check box is selected, the item is location controlled. Only Purchased items and Manufactured items can be location controlled. Product Assembly Kit Part If this check box is selected, the item can be used as part of a product based assembly kit. Floor Stock If this check box is selected, the item is a floor stock item. Floor stock items are not included in the order content. Therefore, no transactions, such as backflushing, are performed on them, both in Shop Floor Control and in Assembly Control. However, floor stock items are in one case part of the order content, although even now no transactions are performed on them. This is the case when you print work instructions, and the following conditions apply:
Items can be stored as floor stock if:
The only supply system for floor stock items is KANBAN. You can select the supply system in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) details session If this check box is cleared, costing will be based on the actual usage. Inventory Carrying Costs The inventory carrying costs constitute the cost of storing one inventory unit of an item for one year: these costs include interest, storage space, and risk. Allowed values Minimum: 0 Maximum: 9999999.9999 Note Inventory costs are used in the Calculate Economic Order Quantity (Camp) (whina2201m000) session. Inventory Carrying Costs The currency in which the costs are expressed, which is the company's reference currency. Frequency for Storage Inspection The frequency for storage inspection of this item in days. Allowed values Minimum: 0 Maximum: 999 Default value 0 You can generate regular cycle counts. If you do so, only those items for which the value of this field is not equal to zero are considered. Dimensions Length The length of the item. Length The unit in which the length of the item is measured. This value is defaulted from the unit of length defined in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. Width The width of the item. Height The height of the item. Floor Space The floor space an item takes up. The floor space is equal to Length multiplied by the Width of the Item. Unit The unit used to express the floor space of the container. This value is defaulted from the Derived Area Unit defined in the Unit Dimensional Relationships (tcmcs1101m000) session. Volume The volume an item takes up. The volume is equal to Length multiplied by the Width multiplied by the Height. Unit The unit used to express the volume of the container. This value is defaulted from the Derived Volume Unit defined in the Unit Dimensional Relationships (tcmcs1101m000) session. Weight The weight of the item. Unit The units in which the weight of the item is expressed. Issue Data Slow-Moving Percentage The limit up to which an item is identified as a slow moving item. This value is retrieved based on the turnover rate of the item. Ranges of To Turnover Rate (Upper Boundary) exist, each with a Slow-Moving Percentage assigned. The Perform Slow-Moving Analysis (whina6220m000) session uses this information to assign the correct Slow-Moving Percentage to the items. The turnover rate is calculated as follows: Turnover rate = annual usage / inventory on hand Expected Annual Issue The expected annual issue is the quantity of the item that is expected to be used (issued) for each year, expressed in the inventory unit. Allowed values Minimum: 0 Maximum: 999999999.9999 Default value 0 For the ABC analysis of items with a historical usage spanning no more than three periods, the expected annual issue is used in the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session. The expected annual issue is also used in the Calculate Economic Order Quantity (Camp) (whina2201m000) session. The expected annual issue is updated through the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session. Expected Annual Issue 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. Forecast Method The forecast method determines how the expected demand for the item in the next period is forecast.
These methods must be predefined in the Forecast Methods (whina2100m000) session. The forecast method is only used in the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session. In which it serves to compute:
ABC Code The ABC code shows each item's contribution to the annual sales volume. A items are high-value items, whereas C items constitute low-value items. Manually Entered ABC Code If this check box is selected, the ABC code has been entered manually in the ABC Code field. LN will not calculate and overwrite unless the proper option is selected in the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session. If this check box is cleared, the ABC Code field has not been entered manually: it is system-generated or not yet calculated. The ABC code will be calculated by the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session. Outbound Method Outbound Method The method by which LN determines which items to issue first. Note
Allowed values
Caution! Comparing FIFO and LIFO to the By Location method, using FIFO or LIFO can result in a considerably larger number of records than By Location. The reason is, because for FIFO or LIFO, receipts are stored by inventory date in the stockpoint inventory. The stock point inventory is displayed in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session. For example, five receipts on different dates of a particular item in a particular warehouse are registered as five separate entries with different inventory dates in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session. Using By Location, the same receipts would result in a single entry, provided that the items are stored in the same location. Performance aspects Using the outbound methods may result in a considerable increase of records in your system and may impact system performance. For information on using outbound methods while limiting data growth and the use of system resources, see Outbound methods Period for Shelf Life Period for Shelf Life The unit of time in which the item's shelf life is expressed. Shelf Life [Periods] The shelf life indicates the length of time that the item can be held in inventory. Allowed values Minimum: 0 Maximum: 999 Rejects Handling The method used to handle items rejected during warehouse inspection. You can adjust the value in this field, even if unprocessed inspection lines are present. Allowed values Disposition Due Lead Time The default date and time on which quarantine inventory becomes available for planning using Enterprise Planning, TPOP, or SIC. The disposition lead time applies if By Due Date is selected in the Available for Planning field of the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. Time Unit The time unit used for the disposition lead time. Advanced Negative Inventory Create Outbound Advice Despite Inventory Shortage If this check box is selected, LN creates outbound advice, even if insufficient inventory is available. Note This option is only available if, in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, the Advanced Negative Inventory check box is selected. Allow Negative Inventory without On Order If this check box is selected, LN will not block confirmation of the picking list line if insufficient inventory is available or on order. Note This option is only available if, in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, the Advanced Negative Inventory check box is selected. Identification Lots Lot Tracking Lots in Inventory If this check box is selected, the full lot-control functionality is available. If this check box is cleared, LN does not record the inventory for each combination of lot and warehouse, and location. For more information, refer to Lot control (not in inventory). You can only select this check box if the item is lot controlled. An item is lot controlled if for the item the Lot Controlled check box in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session is selected. If this item uses unit effectivity, you cannot clear this check box, because unit effectivity relies on lots in inventory. If this check box is selected, the following fields, which are used in the high volume scenario, are set to read-only and have the Not Applicable value:
Note By default, this field is selected by LN for manufactured assembly items only if the item is also unit effectivity enabled. Lot Price If this check box is selected, you can use inventory valuation method Lot Price (Lot). You can select this check box if the following applies:
After any inventory arrived for the item or after any issues have been made, you can no longer change the setting of this check box. In such cases, you can change the inventory valuation method in the Change Valuation Method (whina1232m000) session. Lots Not in Inventory Lot Entry for Direct Delivery If the value of this field is Yes, and the order line on the ASN is a direct delivery purchase line, you must register the lot code in the ASN Line Lots and Serials (whinh3105m000) session. Note If you enter a template in the Lot and Serial Registration Template field, the settings of that field can overrule this field. Lot Entry During Receipt If the value of this field is Yes, you must register the lot codes of lot-controlled items when you receive these items in inventory. However, the receipt of items that results from a transfer order is excluded, unless the Lot Entry During Transfer check box is also selected. If the value of this field is Yes and the Generate Lots Automatically check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session is selected for the order type of the order lines associated with received items, lot codes are automatically generated for the received items. If the Lots in Inventory check box is selected, this field has the value Not Applicable and cannot be changed. If the value of this field is No, the option to register lot codes of received items during receipt is not available. Note If you enter a template in the Lot and Serial Registration Template field, the settings of that field can overrule this field.

For this field, the following values are available:
Serials Serial Tracking If this check box is selected, the item's serial number is tracked in Warehousing, which enables you to view the following information on serialized items:
You can only select this check box if the item is a serialized item. An item is serialized if, in the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session, the Serialized check box is selected for the item. Serials in Inventory If this check box is selected, the low volume scenario is used, which means that serial numbers are individually stored in inventory. You can view the serial numbers in inventory in the Item - Serials and Warehouses (whltc5100m000) session. Note Select this check box for low volume environments in which intensive tracking of serialized items, throughout the goods flow, is required and where each serialized item must be handled individually. Clear this check box for high volume environments in which serialized items do not require tracking throughout the goods flow, individual handling, and storage in inventory. If serials are stored in inventory, you cannot enable backflushing in Manufacturing. For more information, refer to Backflush Materials. By default, this field is selected by LN for manufactured assembly items. Important! If this check box is unavailable, make sure the Direct Proc Wh Order Line check box in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session is cleared. If this check box is selected, you can convert the serialized item to not being recorded in inventory. For this purpose, choose Convert to Not in Inventory if inventory is present for the item. As a result, this check box is cleared and the serial number in inventory records that are stored in the Lot Control are deleted. If this check box is selected, the following fields, which are used in the high volume scenario, are set to read-only and have the Not Applicable value:
Serial Price If this check box is selected, you can use inventory valuation method serial price. You can select this check box if the Serials in Inventory check box is selected for the item. The value of this field is taken from the Item - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4101s000) session.

Serials Not in Inventory Serial Number Entry for Direct Delivery This field is available if the high volume scenario is used. The high volume scenario is used if the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared. If the Serials in Inventory check box is selected, the low volume scenario is used. As a result, the current field is read-only and the value is Not Applicable. If the value of this field is Yes, and the order line on the ASN is a direct delivery purchase line, you must register the serial number in the ASN Line Lots and Serials (whinh3105m000) session. Serial Number Entry During Receipt This field is available if the high volume scenario is used. The high volume scenario is used if the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared. If the Serials in Inventory check box is selected, the low volume scenario is used. As a result, the current field is read-only and the value is Not Applicable. If the value of this field is Yes, you must register the serial numbers of received serialized items in the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session. If the value of this field is Yes and the Generate Serials Automatically check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session is selected for the order type of the order lines associated with received items, serial numbers are automatically generated for the received items. If the value of this field is No, the option to register serial numbers of received serialized items during receipt is not available. Registration of received serial numbers can be useful in tracking what happens to which serial, for example, during inspection. For serialized items that must be inspected, the serial numbers are copied from the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session to the Inspection Lines (whinh2131m000) session. You can change the setting of this check box, but if inventory exists for the current item, a warning to that effect appears.
