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
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.
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:

  • Forced Cycle Count: The existing cycle counting data is maintained.

    Use the option to force cycle counts for a stock point, if its system inventory becomes zero. If you select the value Forced Cycle Count, the Force Cycle Count check box in the Cycle Counting Data (whinh5140m000) session is automatically set to selected.

  • Regular Cycle Count: The existing cycle counting data is maintained.

    Use the option to cycle count based on the cycle count interval specified in the Counting Interval in Weeks group box.

  • No Cycle Count: The existing cycle counting data is removed if no active cycle counting order is present for the stock point.

    Use the option to remove the cycle count data of a zero stock point. The cycle count data is removed when the record in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session is deleted.

Note
  • The default value for the field is retrieved from the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session.

  • The field is disabled if the Exclude from Cycle Counting check box is selected and the default value is set to No Cycle Count.

Use Fulfillment Plan
This field provides the default value for the Use Fulfillment Plan check box in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) details session.
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:

  • List value Location is available if the current item is location controlled.
  • List value Physical Item is available if handling units are used the Warehousing package, that is, if the Handling Units in Use check box is selected in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

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.

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

Supply System

  • None: Is used for purchased configurable item.

  • KANBAN: Is typically used for low-cost component items. Kanban is not used for External Kanban Controlled Items.

  • Order Controlled/Single: Is used for subassembly items.

  • Order Controlled/Batch, Order Controlled/SILS and Order Controlled/Single: Are used when Manufacturing is implemented.

  • Order Controlled/SILS: Is used when Assembly Control for Manufacturing is implemented.

Use Item Ordering Data
The settings that determine whether item values from the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session are used as default values to create items in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session. The setting in the current field is defaulted to the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session. The default value in this field is taken from the Use Item Ordering Data field of the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session.
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 Job Shop 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:

  • The items are part of the work instructions.
  • The Print on Order Document check box is selected for the items concerned, in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session.

Items can be stored as floor stock if:

  • Their associated inventory carrying costs are low.
  • They are present on the job shop.
  • Issues cannot be entered manually.

The only supply system for floor stock items is KANBAN. You can select the supply system in the Item Data by Warehouse (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 Warehouse 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.
  • moving average
  • exponential smoothing
  • Previous Year's Calculation, using the calculation of the previous year as an estimate for the demand.
  • Last Period's Demand, using the demand in the previous period as a forecast for the consecutive period.

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
  • To change the outbound method, use the Change Outbound Method (whwmd3202m000) session.
  • If the item is of type Service or Cost, the outbound method By Location is mandatory.

Allowed values

  • LIFO
    Using the LIFO system to determine demand, the inventory with the latest inventory date will be the first inventory to be issued.
  • FIFO
    Using the FIFO system to determine demand, the inventory with the earliest inventory date will be the first inventory to be issued.
  • By Location
    Using the outbound system By Location to determine demand, the inventory will be issued from inventory based on the outbound priority of the locations. The inventory date will not be taken into account. Note that you can use the By Location method for warehouses with and without locations.
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

Rejects handling

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.
Allow Negative Inventory
Allow Negative Inventory

The default value in this field is taken from the Allow Negative Inventory field of the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session and is defaulted to the Allow Negative Inventory field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

The value in this field is defaulted from the Allow Negative Inventory field of the Items - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4501m000) session.

If you change the value of this field to No and in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session, warehouses are present for this item for which the value is Yes or If on Order, a warning is displayed saying that the Yes or If on Order values will be inactivated for the item in all warehouses.

If you change the value of this field to Yes or If on Order, you are prompted to confirm or cancel this change for all warehouses where the value for this item is No in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session.

Note

Negative inventory is not allowed for:

Create Outbound Advice Despite Inventory Shortage
If this check box is selected, LN allows outbound advice to be generated even if insufficient inventory is available. To generate outbound advice for negative inventory, the Create Outbound Advice Despite Inventory Shortage check box in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session must also be selected.

If the value of the Allow Negative Inventory field is:

  • No, this check box is unavailable.
  • If on Order, outbound advice for negative inventory cannot exceed the on order quantity expected to be received.
Note

If this check box is cleared, you can still manually create outbound advice through the Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) session in case of inventory shortage.

Identification

This field can have the following values:

  • Not Applicable
    The Lots in Inventory check box is selected, and this field is read-only.
  • Yes
    If a component is issued for the production of a serialized item (order origin is JSC Production), registration of lot codes for is mandatory. You can enter the lot codes in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session. If lot tracking is required, this entry also results in an entry for lot tracking. If the component is not a serialized item, you must register the lot during outbound or during shipment.
  • No
    You cannot register lots in the as-built process. In this case, you must register lots before you confirm shipment, either in the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) session or the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) session.
Register Lot Issue in Service & Maintenance
This field determines whether you must fill lot distribution tables for items issues in Warehousing or in Service.

The values of this field determine at which point you must register lot numbers for lot items whose issue from the warehouse is initiated by orders of the following origin:

  • Maintenance Work
  • Maintenance Work (Manual)
  • Service
  • Service (Manual)
  • Maintenance Sales
  • Maintenance Sales (Manual)

    Serial number registration is not available for transfer order outbound or receipt lines.
Register Serial Issue During As Built
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. The values of this field determine at which point you must register serial numbers for component items that are issued from the warehouse to the job shop to manufacture end items listed on production orders in Manufacturing.

To issue component items, the following methods are available:

  • LN allocates the component items to the production order without performing a warehouse issue procedure, therefore no outbound order lines are created to issue the components.
  • Automatic warehouse processing
    After you release the production order, LN creates an automatically processed warehousing order of the Issue and JSC Production origin.
  • Manual warehouse processing
    The same as the previous method, except that the warehousing order is processed manually.

The values in this field relate to the third method, Manual warehouse processing.

This field can have the following values:

  • Not Applicable
    The Serials in Inventory check box is selected, and this field is read-only, or the item is not serialized.
  • Yes
    After the production order is released, register serial numbers for the component items to be issued in the Serial End Item - As-Built Components (timfc0111m000) session of Manufacturing.
  • No
    When you process the outbound order to issue the component items, you must register serial numbers for the outbound advice related to the outbound order lines. Note that if you select this value, you cannot select the Backflush Materials and Direct Proc Wh Order Line check boxes in the Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) session. The settings of these check boxes determine which of the methods to issue components for production orders is used. However, if the Backflush Materials and Direct Proc Wh Order Line check boxes are selected in Manufacturing, you cannot select this value.
Register Serial Issue in Service & Maintenance
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.

Handling Unit Version Controlled
If this check box is selected, handling units used for the current item are version controlled. Handling units for which splitting is enabled can be defined as version controlled. If a handling unit is version controlled, you can use the handling unit after it has been split. For each split-up handling unit, a new version code is generated.

Handling units can be split up into two or more handling units, for example, as a result of inbound advice to different locations. A version-controlled handling unit is modified and kept active after activities such as adding or taking out inventory.
