| | Items (tcibd0501m000)Use this session to view, specify, and
maintain the global item data. Global item data comprises the centrally controlled item data
at the company level, including the global subentities of the item data. The
item's subentities include the item data that is specific for the various LN packages, such as
item sales data, and item production data. If you use multisite, the Item (tcibd0501m100) session is started when you specify or modify item
data in the current session. You can use the Item (tcibd0501m100) session to specify which sites and offices can store,
buy, make, and sell the item. Note - All items that are used in a company are displayed in the Items (tcibd0501m000) overview session.
- If the Authorization and Security functionality is implemented
and active, item permissions are set up in the Item Permissions (tcsec3635m000) session and linked to an employee using the Employee Authorization (tcsec1600m000) session. This employee can view, create,
and modify this item data only if the authorization level is set to Modify.
- If you use Data Management, you can set up the change control of the item using change
orders. Use the Change Control section to indicate the type of change
control that is required for the item.
- To copy existing item data to a new item, use the Copy Item Data (tcibd0205m000) session.
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. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not
retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to
customers. The examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
Segmented item codes consist
of a project-code segment and an item-base segment (the item code). You can
define the item code segmentation in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session. Note If the item is a generic item, the
following characters are not allowed in the item code: % ' " ^ \ ! @ # $ & * ( ) | / ; ~ `
? { } [ ] < > The reason is that object files that are
generated for constraints in the Product Configuration module cannot contain these
characters. If the Check Project Code in Item Code check box is selected in the Item Base Data Parameters (tcibd9199m000) session, you cannot define items of which
the first part of the item name equals a project code in LN.
Item Type A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for
example, a generic item, a service item, or an equipment item. Depending on the
item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item. You can specify default values for an item
type/item group combination in the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session. Note - The item type Product can be used only if the Item Type Product field is set to Active in
the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
- The item types Purchased and Manufactured are used only if the Item Type Product field is set to Inactive in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
Product Variant A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant
results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature
options, components, and operations. Example Configurable item: electric drill Options: - 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V)
- 2 colors (blue, gray).
A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these
options. Text If this check box is selected, a text is present. 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 Item 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 Item 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. Configurable If this check box is selected, the item is a configurable item. Note - For items with the Default Supply Source set to Assembly and for Generic items, this check box is by default selected and
disabled.
- If this check box is selected for a Purchased or Product item, the Purchase Schedule in use check box is by default
selected and disabled in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session.
Search Key I The search key for the item. Default value The first 16 characters of the item's Name field. Search Key II The second search key for the item. Default value The first 16 characters of the item's Name field. Responsible Department The department assigned the required permission to maintain
the item data. Customized If this check box is selected, the item is customized. This check box is selected automatically for these
configurations: | Kind of item | Project
segment | Default Source | Product
Variant | Customize | With
PCS | Customized |
|---|
| Configured - with
PCS | X | Shop Floor | X | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Configured
- no PCS | - | Shop Floor | X | Yes | No | Yes | | STO/ETO
- customized | X | Shop Floor | - | Yes | Yes | Yes | | STO/ETO
- customized part of configuration | - | Shop Floor | X | Yes | No | Yes |
Option Set A group of possible values of a characteristic. For each value
(option) you can indicate whether it is acceptable or not. The options blue and red form an option set Example | Characteristic | pH value | | Test | Litmus test | | Options | blue = acceptable | | red = not acceptable |
List Type A further specification of items of the Purchased, Product,
or List item
type. Actual Supply Source The actual supply method that is used to replenish the inventory on hand for the current date. Environmental Compliance Worldwide, various regulations exist to limit the use of
hazardous chemical substances in electronic equipment preventing environmental
pollution. Companies, in most cases producers of electronic
equipment, are legally required to: - Set up and control compliancy rules.
- Verify whether purchased, engineered, manufactured, and
serviced material is compliant.
- Verify whether their work processes are
compliant.
This field indicates the item's
environmental compliancy. The value in this field can be set by an external
software application. Subassembly If this check box is selected, the item is a subassembly. Inventory 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. Weight The item's weight, expressed in the item's weight unit. This
information is required on the intrastat report. 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 manually specify the serial numbers. Note If you cannot select this check box, the
rounding factor of the serialized item's inventory unit may be wrong. You must set the rounding factor in the Units (tcmcs0101m000) session to 1.0. Unit Effective End Item If this check box is selected, the item is unit effective. Unit Effective Supply Order planning in Enterprise Planning results in calculating the demand
for the components of parent items. If an effectivity unit is assigned to the
parent item, you can choose to specify the components of the parent item by the
parent item's effectivity unit. If this check box is selected, LN communicates the
parent item's effectivity unit to the component items. This means that if the
same component item is used in several unit effective parent items, several
orders are generated for the component item, each order with its own
effectivity unit. If this check box is cleared, LN does not communicate the parent item's effectivity unit to the
component items. This is useful if the effectivity unit of the parent item is
not relevant for the lower part of the item structure. Although components are
demanded for 100 different effectivity units, you only get one supply order of
100 pieces for the standard configuration instead of 100 orders. Note - You can select this check box only if the Lot Controlled check box is selected. If you store effectivity units in
inventory, unit information is linked to the item's lot number: the inventory
is stored at lot level, and the unit is recorded in the lot. Note that if an
item is not lot controlled, the item is stored with unit 0 (zero) in inventory,
even if a demand exists for a specific effectivity unit.
- If this check box is cleared, the Effectivity Units are Interchangeable check box is
always selected and disabled. In this way, the demand is matched with available
inventory, irrespective of the effectivity unit.
Example Item C is a purchased item that is used in
two unit effective end items, A and B. One end item, item A, has effectivity
unit 15, and the other end item, item B, has effectivity unit 16. If the Unit Effective Supply check box is selected for item
C, and a demand for item C is required when producing items A and B, two
purchase orders for item C are created: one purchase order with effectivity
unit 15, and another purchase order with effectivity unit 16. If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared for item
C, only one purchase order is created to order two items C. The effectivity
unit is 0 (zero). Effectivity Units are Interchangeable If this check box is selected, the unit-effective item
is interchangeable. This check box is always selected and
disabled if the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared. In this
way, the demand is matched with available inventory, irrespective of the
effectivity unit. Material The material of which the
item is composed. This field is only used for information. Standard The industrial standard used to produce or purchase the item.
For example, NEN3140 or ISO9000. This field is only used for
information. Size The item's size. This field is only used for
information. Change Order The change order that determines the item's effective date. LN cannot use the item
before the effective date. The change order is linked to the item in the Change Management module
of Data Management. Effective Date The date and time when the item becomes effective. LN cannot use the item on
any order or plan before the effective date. This allows you to define items
before they are actually ordered or produced. The date is supplied by the Change Management (CHM) module of Data Management. Change Management Allowed If this check box is selected, you can use Change Management (CHM) change orders to control the item data and the effectivity dates
of the item's BOM data and routing data. This check box is selected by default if
the Object Data Management (DM) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. Effectivity Dates by Change Order If you want to control the effectivity dates of the item's BOMs
and routings through Data Management change orders, select this check box. If the Change Management Allowed check box is selected and you clear this check box, LN applies the changes
according to the approved change orders but does not record the effective
dates. This allows you to track the changes that are made to the item, the BOM,
and the routing of which the effective dates are not important. Multiple Change Orders Allowed If this check box is selected, a single BOM line or
routing operation can be controlled by more than one change order at a time.
The first change order that is approved makes the BOM line or routing operation
effective. If the Effectivity Dates by Change Order check box is selected, you can select or clear this check
box. In Process by CHM If this check box is selected, the effectivity unit is
under change management control. If a change proposal is linked to the
effectivity unit, and the change proposal has not yet been approved, LN selects this check
box. In the Change Management (CHM) module you can keep track of the effective and expiry dates of the
effectivity unit according to a defined procedure. Last Modification Date The date the item data was last modified. Product Type User-definable item grouping data that is used as a sorting and
selecting criterion. The product type is intended for classifying items with
similar characteristics for production purposes. Product Class User-definable item grouping data that is used to distinguish
between different groups of items in a product line. The product class is
mainly used as a selection criterion for reporting. Product Line A group of products made by the same producer, that are similar
but differ in details such as, size, shape, color, and so on. User-definable
item grouping data, mainly used as an item selection criterion for reporting. Restrict Commingling and Transfers If this check box is selected, commingling of supply
for project pegged demand and cost transfer of project peg excess inventory are
restricted by rules defined in the Commingling Exceptions (tcpeg0102m000) session. Restricted by Components If this check box is selected, commingling and
transfers are restricted for some of the item's components. Inherit Project Peg If this check box is selected, the dependent components
will inherit the project peg of the main item. Mandatory Project Peg If this check box is selected, the item must be pegged
to project. Demand Pegged If this check box is selected, demand pegging is
enabled for the item. Sales orders and service orders for the item can be
pegged in order to have pegged supply. Note - The item type must be Manufactured, Purchased, Product,
or List with subtype Kit.
- This check box is visible only if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
Demand Pegging Type Specify the type of peg, which determines the peg content used
in demand and supply matching. The peg content is stored in the specification linked to the item. Note - If the supply source of the item is Repetitive, only peg types Customer Based, Order Based, and Customer Location Based can be used.
- The demand side and supply side of the matching process
must be based on the same Demand Pegging Type.
- This check box is displayed only if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
Use Unallocated Inventory If this check box is selected, unallocated inventory
can be allocated and used to supply the demand order. Allocated inventory is
used first to supply the demand. If unavailable, or an insufficient quantity is
available, unallocated inventory is used. If this check box is cleared, only allocated inventory
can be used. Note - This check box is enabled if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
- This check box affects the allocation of inventory to sales
orders and the supply orders planned by Enterprise Planning. The Advise Unallocated Inventory check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session determines whether you can advise
unallocated inventory for a demand-pegged outbound order.
Critical Safety Item If this check box is selected, the item is a critical safety item. Note On bar code labels, for example Odette Transport Label and
Global Transport Label (GTL), a control symbol (circle with inscribed inverted
triangle) may be printed in case of safety items on buyer's
request. Country of Origin The country where the item was originally
manufactured. Selection Code User-definable item grouping data. Use selection codes to
select items by color, diameter, product expiry date, and so on. Note Selection codes are used for information purposes
only. Technical Coordinator The employee who is responsible for maintaining the technical
item specifications and the requirements for the manufacturer of the item. This
employee is also responsible for maintaining the information concerning
hazardous material and the risk classification in Warehousing. Harmonized System Code Code that identifies group of items in order to collect and
report statistical data on the export and import of goods in the countries of
the European Union (EU). The reporting authorities determine the harmonized
system codes. Subject to Trade Compliance If this check box is selected, the item is subject to
trade compliance checks. The setting of this check box is displayed in various
sessions in Warehousing, Sales, and Procurement. This check box is enabled if the: Sales Trade Compliance If this check box is selected,, the item specific data
for export compliance is created and maintained in the Item Sales Compliance Data (tcgtc0110m000) session. Item compliance data is used
for the external compliance checks. Purchase Trade Compliance If this check box is selected,, the item specific data
for import compliance is created and maintained in the Item Purchase Compliance Data (tcgtc0110m100) session. Item compliance data is used
for the internal compliance checks. 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 whom a signal is linked. EAN Code The bar code used to register the item. Extra Information The additional information about the item. Revision Controlled If this check box is selected, the item has revisions. Actual Revision The latest revision of the item. Derived-from Item The item code of the standard item from which the customized
item is derived. If a standard item is copied to a customized
item using the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000) session, LN displays the
standard item code in the customized item's Derived-from Item field. Type of Replacement The item's replacement status. Container Item The item that needs a container. Standard To Order If this check box is selected, the item is created
based on the Standard-to-Order generation method, as specified in the Generation Method field of the Generate (Project PCS) Structure for Sales Orders (tdsls4244m000) session. The bill of material and the routing are derived from
the original item. Customizable If this check box is selected, the item will be
customized by default. The setting of this check box is defaulted to the Make Customized check box on the sales quotation- and
sales order-line. Customization, which also requires generation of a product structure, is applicable for these
items: - Generic items, which must always be customized.
- Product, Purchased, and Manufactured items, only if the Make Customized check box is selected on the customer
order. The setting of this check box can be modified on the customer order.
- Standard items that have anonymous inventory and for
which the Make Customized check box is selected on the customer
order.
With PCS If this check box is selected, for a main item, the item structure is generated by using a PCS project. Note - The field is visible only if the Project Control (PCS) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
- Because generic items cannot be part of a project, after
generation of a project structure for the generic item, a new item is
created that is part of a project.
Order System The order parameter that controls the way by which recommended
purchase and production orders are generated. Options: - FAS (final assembly scheduling).
- SIC (statistical inventory
control).
