Items - Defaults (tcibd0102m000)

Use this session to view, specify, and maintain the default general item data for a combination of item type and item group.

Note

If you specify an item of this type and item group in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, LN enters the default data in the corresponding fields. You can then use the default values or change the values as required.

 

Item Type
The item type to which the default values apply.
Item Group
The item group to which the default values apply.
Default Supply Source
Configurable
If this check box is selected, the item is configurable.
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.
  • For Purchased items with the Purchase Schedule in Use check box selected, you can select this check box.
List Type
A further specification of items of the type Purchased or List.

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 these types:

  • Purchased
  • Manufactured

If you change this check box and you already defined the item's ordering data in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session or the Items - Ordering Defaults (tcibd2101m000) session, you must redefine the ordering system in the item ordering data.

For items of types other than Purchased and Manufactured, the Purchase Schedule in Use check box is cleared and disabled.

Schedule Type
Subassembly
If this check box is selected, the item is a subassembly.
Unit Set
The default unit set for items of this item type and item group.
Inventory Unit
The default inventory unit for items of this item type and item group.
Item Default Text
If this check box is selected, a text is present.

Weight Unit
The default weight unit for items of this item type and item group. The item's weight is expressed in the weight unit on the intrastat report.
Weight
The default weight of items of this item type and item group, expressed in the weight unit. This information is required on the intrastat report.
Revision Controlled
If this check box is selected, the item has revisions.
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 items 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 disabled, 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 Effective End Item
If this check box is selected, the item is unit effective.
  • You can generate effectivity units for an item in the Items - Effectivity Series (tcuef0101m000) session after you defined an effectivity series.
  • An effectivity unit is automatically generated when you insert a unit effective item on a sales order line, sales quotation line, or sales contract line. In this case, also the Generate Effectivity Unit during Demand Entry check box in the Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0500m000) session must be selected.

If this check box is selected and disabled, effectivity units are already linked to this item. Items and their effectivity units are displayed in the Effectivity Units (tcuef0502m000) session.

If this check box is cleared, effectivity units cannot be generated automatically for the item, but you can still manually link an effectivity unit to the item on a sales order line or a quotation order line. If, for example, the item is a spare part, on a sales order line, you can insert the effectivity unit of the item in which the spare part is used.

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 the 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. 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 disabled. 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 between different effectivity units.

This check box is always selected and disabled if the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared. In this way, the demand is matched with available inventory, regardless of the effectivity unit.

Material
The material of which the items are composed. This field is only used for information.
Standard
The industrial standard used to produce or purchase the items. For example, NEN3140 or ISO9000. This field is only used for information.
Size
The items default size. This field is only used for information.
Change Management Allowed
If this check box is selected, you can use Change Management (CHM) change orders to control the item data and the effectivity dates of the item's BOM data and routing data.

This check box is selected by default if the Object Data Management (DM) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

Effectivity Dates by Change Order
If you want to control the effectivity dates of the item's BOMs and routings through Data Management change orders, 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.

Multiple Change Orders Allowed
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 Change Order check box is selected, you can select or clear this check box.
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.

The default bar code used to register the items.
Cost Component
A cost component is a user-defined category for the classification of costs.

Cost components have the following functions:

  • To break down an item's standard cost, sales price, or valuation price.
  • To create a comparison between the estimated production order costs and the actual production order costs.
  • To calculate production variances.
  • To view the distribution of your costs over the various cost components in the Cost Accounting module.

Cost components can be of the following cost types:

  • Operation Costs
  • Material Costs
  • Surcharge
  • General Costs
  • Not Applicable
Note

If you use Assembly Control (ASC), you cannot use cost components of the General Costs type.

Because the cost type is used in Project or Service, the cost component must be of the Not Applicable or the Material Costs type.

Note

List items do not have cost components.
