| Item ordering dataYou can specify item ordering data for items of these types: In the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) and Item - Ordering (tcibd2600m000) sessions, you can specify data such as: - Limits for the quantities that can be ordered
- Default values that are used to generate the orders
- The order method
- The order interval
If the order system is set to Manual or FAS in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, the order method must be Lot for Lot. Details and restrictions The following additional details and restrictions apply to the
various kinds of items: Purchased, Manufactured or Product items You can select the Purchase Schedule in use check box in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session only for Purchased, Manufactured, or Product items. Consequently, orders for these items are issued according to a purchase schedule. If you
use a purchase schedule, the order system must be Planned and
the order method must be Lot for Lot. Generic items If you specify ordering data for a generic item, the Customize check box must be selected for the item in
the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. The customized items that you derive from the
generic item inherit only the relevant generic item's ordering data. Ordering
data that is used for make and store to stock items, is irrelevant for
customized items. For example, the economic order quantity is a calculated
value based on a formula. Therefore, in case of customized items, the following
fields get predefined values: - Reorder Point: 0
- Order Costs: 0
- Service Level: 0
- Safety Stock: 0
- Number of Periods: 1
- Period Type: Month

- Order Quantity Increment: 0.0
- Minimum Order Quantity: 0
- Fixed Order Quantity: 0
- Economic Order Quantity: 1.0
- Maximum Order Quantity: 99999999
If the Customize check box is selected, but the With PCS check box is cleared for a generic item in
the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, the configured standard items (CSI) concept
is applied to the item. These items are processed without using the Project Control module. List items For list items, you can specify ordering data only if the list
item type is kit. Tool items Purchased items that have the Tool item
specification in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session must have the item data listed below,
regardless of whether you use a purchase schedule. The order quantity settings
define the recommended order quantity for planned orders. - Customize: selected
- Order system: Manual
- Order method: Lot for Lot
Service items Service items represent services or work carried out by your
suppliers or subcontractors. Service items are mainly used for cost accounting,
in the same way as cost items. Service items can be used in any Operations
Management package. You can specify service items that are not used in Service at all.
