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. Serialized If this check box is selected, the item is a serialized item. Revision Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions. 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. 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 item, the item signal code can be copied only when the Copy Item Signal Code check box is selected in the Engineering Data Management Parameters (tiedm0100m000) session. Revisions If this check box is selected, the selected item has
one or more revisions. Bill of Material If this check box is selected, a bill of material (BOM) is defined for the selected item. Routings If this check box is selected, one or more routings are defined for the selected item. Production Orders If this check box is selected, production orders are present for the selected item. Subcontracted Operations by End Item If this check box is selected, one or more of the operations needed for the manufacture of the end item
are subcontracted. Where-used BOM Components If this check box is selected, the GBF displays the
where used in BOM for the item. Purchase Orders If this check box is selected, purchase orders are present for the selected
item. Purchase Schedules If this check box is selected, purchase schedules are defined for the selected
item. Business Partners If this check box is selected, items needed for
manufacture as supplied by business partners. Alternatives If this check box is selected, alternatives for the
selected item are defined. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools
that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:
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. Allowed values Search Key I An alternative form of a description used for convenience
during searching. Typically, it is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a mnemonic
alternative to a full description. Search Key II An alternative form of a description used for convenience
during searching. Typically, it is an abbreviation, an acronym, or a mnemonic
alternative to a full description. Product variant The unique identification of a product variant.
Where-Used Component When you continuously improve products, engineering changes can
occur in items that are used in various BOMs. Click to start the Where-Used BOM Component (tibom1512m000) session, in
which you can find the BOMs that are affected. Purchase Orders Engineering changes should affect the purchase process as
little as possible. Click to start the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session to
view purchase orders if disturbances are unavoidable. Employees who are
responsible for the purchases can be informed. Only the purchase order lines
for parts that have not been received are displayed. However, in the Purchase Order Lines Monitor (tdpur4501m500) session, you
can click Show All Lines from the appropriate menu to view
all purchase order lines. Purchase Schedules Engineering changes can affect purchase schedules. Click to
start the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session for an
overview, after which you can inform the responsible people. Only the open
purchase schedules are displayed. However, in the Purchase Schedules (tdpur3110m000) session, you can click Show All Schedules from the appropriate menu to view
all purchase schedules. Planned Inventory Transactions Click to start the Planned Inventory Transactions - Chart (whinp1700m000) session. Inventory information is important, 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.
