Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000)

	Item 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. Related topics Setting up the item data Item Type The item type to which the default values apply. Allowed values Item Type (a.k.a. kind of item) Note The Item Type Product can be used only if the Item Type Product field can be set to Active in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. The Item Type Purchased and/or Manufactured is used only if the Item Type Product field is set to Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Item Group The item group to which the default values apply. Order System The default order system for the item. Note The Planned order system only applies if the default supply source is Repetitive. Default Supply Source default supply source. Allowed values Supply Source Configurable If this check box is selected, the item is configurable. Note For Manufactured or Product items with the Default Supply Source set to Assembly and for Generic items, this check box is by default selected and disabled. If this check box is selected for a Purchased or Product item, the Purchase Schedule in use check box is by default selected and disabled in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session. Customize If this check box is selected, this is an item for which a product structure and/or a project structure is generated per customer order (sales order or contract deliverable). The setting of the With PCS check box determines whether a project structure is generated, and consequently, a PCS project is linked to the customized items. Related topics Item structures With PCS If this check box is selected, for a main item, the item structure is generated by using a PCS project. Note The field is visible only if the Project Control (PCS) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Because generic items cannot be part of a project, after generation of a project structure for the generic item, a new item is created that is part of a project. Related topics Item structures List Type A further specification of items of the type Purchased, Product, or List. If the item type is Purchased or Product, you can specify that the item is a tool. If the item type is List, you can specify whether the item is a: Kit Option Menu Subassembly If this check box is selected, the item is a subassembly. Related topics Overview of subcontracting Operation subcontracting with material flow support 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. Related topics Using texts 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. Related topics EU transaction reporting 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. Related topics EU transaction reporting Revision Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions. Related topics Engineering data management summary Lot Controlled If this check box is selected, the item must be assigned to a lot. Related topics Lot control 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. Related topics Overview of serialized items To set up serialized items 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. Related topics Overview of unit effectivity 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). Related topics Overview of unit effectivity 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. Related topics Interchangeability of effectivity units Overview of unit effectivity 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. Related topics Change Management (CHM) Change Order 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.
