Segmented item codesItem codes can consist of more than one field or segment. Segmented item codes consist of:
If you point at a code-segment field, LN displays a tooltip that describes the segment. You can use the item-code segments to select items. For example, you can use the project segment to distinguish the customized items of various projects, and to distinguish them from standard items. The project segment is necessary to link a standard-to-order item to a customer order. We recommend that you specify only these segments:
Defining item-code segments You specify the item-code segments in the Segmented Domains (ttgfd4122m000) session in Tools. Each code-segment definition determines:
After running the Initialize Parameters (tcmcs0295m000) session, the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session is automatically populated with the values you specified for the item domain in the Segmented Domains (ttgfd4122m000) session. Set up the item segmentation only in the Segmented Domains (ttgfd4122m000) session. Note Once you have defined the item code segments and you have created or generated item codes, you cannot change the item code segmentation. Empty segment-code fields If a code segment is not applicable for the item, the segment field is empty. For example, the project segment of items that are not assigned to a project is empty. Defining segmented codes You define a segmented code in the same way as you enter a number of separate fields. You can usually zoom from a segment field to the appropriate session and select a code. For example, to enter the project segment you can zoom to the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) session and select a project.
