Item Control and Defaults by Site (tcibd1552m000)

Use this session to view, specify and maintain how item data is created and retrieved for a combination of site, item type and item group.

You can click the Item button to specify the item defaults for the site in the Item Defaults by Site (tcibd1551m000) session. The buttons in the Create Sub Entities and Defaults group box refer to the default item data that is specific for the various subentities for a site, such as item sales defaults by site and item production defaults by site.

Note
  • When you create a new item, item data by subentity for a site is created only if the Create check box is selected for the subentity in this session. Consequently, the availability of default item data by subentity for a site, which is indicated by a green check mark next to the subentity, does not automatically imply that the item data by subentity is also created for the site.
  • If the Create check box is selected for a specific subentity in this session, but the default item data by subentity is not specified for the site (no green check mark), the global item data by subentity is used for the site.
  • If you select the Centrally Managed check box in this session, it is centrally managed which item data by subentity is created for the site. The Create check boxes become disabled for the subentities.
  • If a subentity button is disabled in this session, default item data is not available for the subentity at global level. Consequently, you cannot specify the default item data by subentity at site level.

 

Site

A business location of an enterprise that can maintain its own logistical data. It includes a collection of warehouses, departments and assembly lines at the same location. Sites are used to model the supply chain in a multisite environment.

These restrictions apply to sites:

  • A site cannot cross countries. The warehouses and departments of the site must be in the same country as the site.
  • A site is linked to one planning cluster. Consequently, all warehouses and work centers of a site must belong to the same planning cluster.
  • A site is linked to one logistic company.

You can link a site to an enterprise unit or an enterprise unit to a site.

If an enterprise unit is linked to a site, the entities of the site belong to the enterprise unit. Conversely, if a site is linked to an enterprise unit, the entities of the enterprise unit belong to the site.

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.

Item Group

A group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item type to set up item defaults.

Item Defaults

If a check mark is displayed, default item data is available for the site in the Item Defaults by Site (tcibd1551m000) session.

To view or specify the default item data for the site, click the Item button to start the Item Defaults by Site (tcibd1551m000) session.

Centrally Managed

If this check box is selected, it is centrally managed which item data by subentity is created for the site.

If this check box is selected:

  • The Create check boxes for the subentities in this session have the same value as the corresponding check boxes in the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session for the item type and item group. Consequently, the Create check boxes are disabled for the subentities in the current session.
  • The creation of item-subentity data for the site is based either on local defaults or global item data:
    • If default item-subentity data is specified for the site (indicated by a green check mark), the local item-subentity defaults are used to create item data by subentity. For example, the local item defaults in the Item - Production Defaults by Site (tiipd0152m000) session are used to create item data in the Item - Production by Site (tiipd0151m000) session.
    • If default item-subentity data is not specified for the site (no green check mark), the global item-subentity data is used to create item data by subentity for the site. For example, the global item data in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session is used to create item data in the Item - Production by Site (tiipd0151m000) session.
