| Purchased Item 360 (tdipu0103m000) Use this session to view, maintain, and specify purchased item-related data. With this session, LN provides an overview
of purchased item data and enables a buyer to perform multiple item-related
tasks. How to use the Purchased Item 360 (tdipu0103m000) session If you select an item from the item list in
the Purchased Item 360 (tdipu0103m000) session, information about the item is displayed.
If you double-click a record, the Items (tcibd0501m000) session starts. The check marks indicate which data is
available for the item. If you click a link, a session is started in which you
can view, maintain, or specify the purchased item data. Buyer The employee of your company who is the contact to the
concerned buy-from business partner. The buyer is also known as the purchasing
agent. To only view the items for the buyer, click Apply Filter. Consequently, only the items with the
current buyer specified in the Buyer field in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session, are displayed. Item Details Item Group The item's item group. You must assign every item to an item group. To select the item group you can: - Select or create an item group in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session.
- Select the item's default data from the Items - Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session. The item default data includes the item
group.
If you defined default item data for the
item type and item group in the Items - Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session, LN enters the default data in the relevant
fields of the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. You can use the default values or
change the values as required. Item Signal A warning message displayed if you enter or select an item to
which a signal is linked. Item signals can also be used to block the issue
and/or requisition of items. Business-partner signal A warning message displayed if you select a business partner
to which a signal is linked. Inventory Unit The item's inventory unit. You can only enter the inventory unit for items of the
following types: Note If you use Project, you must specify
the item's inventory unit because the inventory unit is required for project
calculations. Inventory on Hand The physical quantity of goods in one or more warehouses
(including the inventory on hold). 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. Lot Controlled If this check box is selected, the item must be
assigned to a lot. Serialized If this check box is selected, occurrences of the item
are serialized items. LN generates the serial
numbers by using a mask,
or you can enter the serial numbers manually. Multiple Manufacturer Item If this check box is selected, multiple manufacturers
can be used for an item - business partner combination. If this check box is cleared, you
can only use one manufacturer for an item - business partner combination. Multiple manufacturer items are mostly
used by companies that buy components that have similar or the same
specifications or quality, from various intermediate suppliers. If the ordered
quantity is less than the minimum quantity that you can order from a
manufacturer, you cannot directly buy from the manufacturer, but you must buy
the components from an intermediate supplier. This supplier can obtain the
components from several approved manufacturers. Unit Effective If this check box is selected, the item is unit effective. Revision-Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions.
