Setting up the item data

Step 1. Segmented item codes

To use segmented item codes, the item code segments must first be set up in the Segmented Domains (ttgfd4122m000) session in Tools. Next, specify the item code segments in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session.

Step 2. Item groups

Specify the item groups in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session. Every item must belong to an item group.

Step 3. Unit sets

Specify the unit sets for the items in the Unit Sets (tcmcs0106m000) session and link units to the unit sets in the Units by Unit Set (tcmcs0112m000) session.

Step 4. Default item data

Specify default item data for items of a specific item type within each item group in the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session. If you set up defaults, you can restrict the amount of item data that you must specify when you add items.

You can also specify default item data by subentity in separate sessions. For example, default sales item data in the Item - Sales Defaults (tdisa0102s000) session and default item ordering data in the Item - Ordering Defaults (tcibd2101m000) session. You can indicate whether you want to create the item data by subentity, based on the subentity defaults, when you add an item.

Step 5. Item data

Specify the item data for each item in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. If you specified default item data for the selected item group and item type, the default data is automatically populated. You can use the default values or change the values as required.
