Engineering Item (tiedm0110m000)Use this session to define and modify engineering items (E-items). Note You can select only a non-configurable item. For more information on procuring purchased configurable items, refer to You cannot delete an E-item if the E-item is:
If you delete an E-item, you also delete the following data of that E-item:
You can start the following sessions from the appropriate menu:
General Engineering Item An item in the process of development. You can define multiple revisions of an engineering item. Typically, the most recent revisions are still in a design or test phase, another revision may have been taken into production, and older revisions are obsolete. A normal item can only become revision-controlled when it is copied from the Engineering Data Management module. Note
Description Enter a description of the engineering item. Search Key I Enter a text to enable you to find the E-item. Search Key II Enter a text to enable you to find the E-item. Engineering Project The project of the engineering item that you can use to
manage and control the engineering activities. E-Item Reference You can use this field to enter another descriptive text
about the E-item. 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. E-items can be:
Default Supply Source The source that supplies an item by default. You can use
purchase orders or schedules, production orders or schedules, assembly orders,
or warehousing orders to supply an item. 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. Allowed values Item Group A 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. Customize Specify if the item may be customized. 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. Selection Code User-definable item grouping data. Use selection codes to
select items by color, diameter, product expiry date, and so on. Note Selection codes are used for information purposes only. Series for Revision If you make an E-item revision in the Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m000) session, LN generates a code to
identify the revision (using the Series for Revision parameter). You can alter the default value of this field in the Series for Revision field of the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session. If you change the default value, the number series starts again from its beginning. Extra Information The additional information about the engineering item. Note The information is defaulted from the Items - Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session. Configuration Unit Effective End Item If this check box is selected, the E-item is a unit-effective item. You can make an item unit effective only if the Unit Effectivity check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session is selected. Interchangeable If this check box is selected, this E-item is
interchangeable with other unit-effective interchangeable E-items. Note
CHM Control If this check box is selected, an approval procedure is
linked to the engineering item. You
must complete the approval procedure in Change Management in Data Management. Effectivity Dates by CO If this check box is selected, the effective date on
the revision is set during the approval procedure in Data Management. This
effective date is used as effective date on the BOM lines after the E-item data
is copied to the PBOM. If this check box is cleared, you must enter the
effective and expiry dates manually in the engineering item revision, although Data Management is still
used to approve the revision. Multiple COs If this check box is selected, you can link multiple
change proposals (multiple COs) to the revision. The first change proposal that
is approved, also approves the revision. If this check box is cleared, you
can only link one proposal to the revision. New Revision by Copy from P-Item allowed This check box is relevant if:
If this check box is selected, a new revision is created for the engineering item that is defined in this session. If this check box is cleared, no new revision is created for the engineering item. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present.
Engineering Item Revisions Starts the Engineering Item Revision (tiedm1100m000) session.
