Use this session to view and maintain sales related data by item.

In this session, you can only maintain and display sales related data by item. This data is linked to an already defined item in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.

In the details session, you can maintain the following sales-related item data:

 

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.

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)
Note

In this field, you cannot enter a list item of the type Kit if the following conditions apply:

  • The Return Components check box is selected.
  • The warehouse is WMS controlled, and the Inbound BOM/List Items check box is cleared for the warehouse in the WMS Interface Parameters (whwmd2105m000) session.

If the warehouse is WMS controlled, and the Outbound BOM/List Items check box is cleared for the warehouse in the WMS Interface Parameters (whwmd2105m000) session, you cannot enter a list item in this field.

Most of the time, this field is equal to the Item Type field of the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. However, this field can have a different value if the supply source is temporarily changed in the Date-Effective Supply Source (tcibd0510m000) session.

Item Type

Sales Unit

The unit in which an item is sold.

If you enter an item, LN enters the default sales unit for this particular item. This unit can be equal to the inventory unit. If the sales unit is not equal to the inventory unit, you can specify the sales unit in the Units by Unit Set (tcmcs0112m000) session.

Allowed values

Commitment Policy

Minimum Quantity to Commit

The minimum quantity that must be committed in case of a partial allocation.

If both the Minimum Quantity to Commit and the Minimum Rate for Commitment fields have significant values, the quantity to be committed is checked against both fields. LN uses whichever number is higher.

Example
  • The value of the Minimum Quantity to Commit field is 5.
  • The value of the Minimum Rate for Commitment is 10%.

For an order of 100, the minimum quantity is 5 and the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 10. This results in a minimum commitment of 10 for partial allocation. For an order of 20, the minimum quantity is still 5, but the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 2. In this case, the minimum commitment quantity is 5 for partial allocation.

Inventory Unit

The inventory unit in which the item inventory data is recorded.

Minimum Rate for Commitment

The minimum rate that must be delivered in case of a partial allocation.

If both the Minimum Quantity to Commit and the Minimum Rate for Commitment fields have significant values, the quantity to be committed is checked against both fields. LN uses whichever number is higher.

Example
  • The value of the Minimum Quantity to Commit field is 5.
  • The value of the Minimum Rate for Commitment is 10%.

For an order of 100, the minimum quantity is 5 and the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 10. This results in a minimum commitment of 10 for partial allocation. For an order of 20, the minimum quantity is still 5, but the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 2. In this case, the minimum commitment quantity is 5 for partial allocation.
