Setting up item data for multisite

If you use multisite, the item data includes the global item data at the company level and the local item data at the site and office level.

You can manually specify the item data, or generate the item data based on defaults. Item defaults also include settings to generate item data at local level based on the data specified at global level. At local level, you can modify the retrieved item data.

Setup
Step 1. Global item data

Specify a new item in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session. Consequently, the Item (tcibd0501m100) session is started in which you can specify your global item data.

You can also set up global item data by subentity. Click the buttons in the Subentities group box to specify this data.

The buttons refer to these subentities and related sessions:

  • Sales
    Item - Sales (tdisa0601m000)
  • Project
    Item - Project (tppdm0105s000)
  • Ordering
    Item - Ordering (tcibd2600m000)
  • Production
    Item - Production (tiipd0601m000)
  • Purchase
    Item - Purchase (tdipu0601m000)
  • Warehousing
    Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000)
  • Freight
    Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000)
  • Service
    Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000)
  • Quality
    Items - Quality Data (qmptc0118m000)
  • Tool
    Tools (titrp0101m000)

If you specified default global item data in the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session for the selected item group and item type, the default global item data is automatically populated. You can use the default values or change the values as required.

Step 2. Local item data

The item data can also include local data, such as sites, sales offices, and service offices. Consequently, in the Item (tcibd0501m100) session, you can specify the sites, enterprise units, planning clusters, purchase offices, sales offices, and service offices to link to the item.

The Item (tcibd0501m100) session includes these tabs:

  • Sites
    On this tab, you can specify and view the sites that are linked to the item. Click the Go to details button for a line to specify and maintain the item data by site in the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session.
  • Enterprise Units
    Refers to the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session. On this tab, you can view the costing data that is generated based on the enterprise unit that is linked to the warehouse in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2600m000) session. You must manually specify the Standard Cost Component Scheme, the Surcharge check boxes and the Landed Costs Set. You can also specify new costing data on this tab.
  • Clusters
    Refers to the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session. On this tab, you can view the planning data that is generated based on the planning cluster that is linked to the warehouse in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2600m000) session. You must manually specify the Order Horizon and the Plan Level. You can also specify new planning data on this tab.
  • Purchase Offices
    On this tab, you can specify and view the purchase offices that are linked to the item. Click the Go to details button for a line to specify and maintain the item data by purchase office in the Items - Purchase by Office (tdipu0181m100) session.
  • Sales Offices
    On this tab, you can specify and view the sales offices that are linked to the item. Click the Go to details button for a line to specify and maintain the item data by sales office in the Items - Sales by Office (tdisa0181m000) session.
  • Service Offices
    On this tab, you can specify and view the service offices that are linked to the item. Click the Go to details button for a line to specify and maintain the item data by service office in the Items - Service by Service Office (tsmdm2120m000) session.

If you specified default global item data in the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session for the selected item group and item type, along with the creation of the global item data, local item data can be generated for the sites and offices specified in the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session.

Note

  • Item by site data is generated based on the defaults that are specified for the site in the Item Control and Defaults by Site (tcibd1552m000) session. See: Item defaults by site.
  • Item by office data is generated based on the defaults that are specified for the offices, for example, in the Items - Purchase Defaults by Office (tdipu0182m100) and Items - Sales Defaults by Sales Office (tdisa0182m000) sessions. See: Item defaults by office.
