Tool items in Warehousing

Tool items can be purchased or produced based on a production order. A tool item can be an end item or a component used as material to produce an end item.

As end items, tool items can be received in a warehouse and in quarantine. In the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session, you can set the Rejects Handling field to Scrap or Scrap and/or Quarantine for tool items. Also, in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session, you can directly send a tool item to quarantine.

In the Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2172m000) session, these dispositions are available for tool items:

• Use As Is
• Scrap
• Rework (to Existing Specification)

A tool end-item has no inventory value. Therefore, the financial integration transactions generated for tool items are different from those generated for manufactured items. See Financial Integration and Reconciliation Transactions.

For tool items issued as materials for production orders, financial transactions are not posted.
