Warehousing Settings History by Site (whwmd2502m000)

The site for which the warehousing settings are defined.

The address of the site.

The logistic company to which the site is linked.

If this check box is selected, the site belongs to an external party such as a customer or a subcontractor.

An external site can include warehouses in which inventory owned by your company is stored, and for which your company performs planning.

The user who made the most recent changes in this session.

If this check box is selected, for every location-controlled warehouse of the current site you can define a default value in the Allow Other Items field in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session.

You can define a fixed location for an item in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. A fixed location can be a multi-item location with different items and for each item, the location is defined as fixed location. The fixed locations are used for inbound advice and replenishment location matrix.

When an inbound advice is generated, LN checks for a fixed location for the item:

If found, LN generates an inbound advice from receiving location to the fixed location.
If not found, LN generates an inbound advice from receiving location to a free (non-fixed) location.

Note:

LN defaults the value only when you define a multi-item location as a fixed location for an item in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session.
LN allows you to generate an inbound advice to a fixed multi-item location which is not defined as a fixed location for the item.

If this check box is selected, and an inbound advice is generated, LN searches for the minimum number of locations needed to put away the quantity specified on an order line.

For this purpose, LN searches for the location with the largest available capacity. If no location is found that can accommodate the entire quantity, LN searches for the location that can store the largest part of the quantity to be put away. This process is continued until the entire quantity is put away.

If this check box is selected, during receipt entry the application checks whether the receipt is already present.

The receipt being created is a duplicate if the following data match a receipt present in LN:

Order Origin
Order
Order Line
Packing Slip Received

If a duplicate is found, the created receipt line is blocked and a message is displayed showing a blocking reason and indicating the receipt line of which the blocked receipt line is a duplicate.

The blocking reason that is displayed when the receipt being created is a duplicate of an existing receipt. A duplicate receipt blocking reason must be of type Hold Receipt.

If this check box is selected, LN prints the Item/Item Group Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the inbound procedure.

If this check box is selected, LN prints the Warehouse/Location Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the inbound procedure.

The number group used to generate receipt numbers.

The series used to generate receipt numbers.

The step size between position numbers of receipts.

The number group used to generate inbound advice numbers.

The series used to generate inbound advice numbers.

Indicates whether, or which, non-physical item type is printed in the Print Receipts (whinh3412m000) session.

Indicates whether the manufactured main item, the manufactured item's components, or both are printed on the goods-received note.

Note:

If the Inventory Handling field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session is set to By Component, and you choose Components, LN will print the components defined in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session on the goods-received note.
If the Inventory Handling field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session is set to By Component, and you choose Both, LN will print both the main item and the components that are defined in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session on the goods-received note. The main item is printed underlined without quantities.

If this check box is selected, advanced shipping notes are automatically generated when you confirm a shipment.

If this check box is cleared, an advanced shipping note (ASN) is not automatically generated, but you can manually create an ASN in the Confirm Outbound ASN (whinh4230m100) session.

If this check box is selected, the advance shipment notice (ASN) receipts of direct delivery orders that are created using BODs or processed through electronic data interchange (EDI) are confirmed automatically.

Note:

If this check box is cleared, the ASN receipts of direct delivery orders which are processed through BODs or EDI must be confirmed manually. To confirm the ASN manually, you must run the Receive Direct Delivery Lines command in the Shipment Notice (whinh3600m000) session. You can also modify the Actual Delivery Date and Packing Slip number if necessary.
You can also modify the details of Shipped Quantity and Shipped Quantity in Inventory Unit in the Shipment Notice Lines (whinh3101m000) session.

If this check box is selected, outbound settings specified in the Warehousing parameter sessions are copied to their counterparts of the Outbound tab in the current session. These settings are read-only. See Warehouse data and settings on company level.

This check box only applies to inventory that is stored, with package definitions. For each package definition level you must specify whether the location type is Pick or Bulk.

If this check box is selected, and an outbound advice is generated:

Only pick locations are checked on the availability of inventory for package definition levels with the Pick location type.
Only bulk locations are checked on the availability of inventory for package definition levels with the Bulk location type.

Therefore, if an outbound advice is generated for an item with a package definition, LN strictly adheres to the location type that is specified for the package definition level.

This prevents, for example, that pieces and small boxes are picked from pallets in bulk locations. And bulk locations consequently continue to act as bulk locations.

If this check box is cleared, and an outbound advice is generated, the location type of the package definition level acts as the preferred location type. LN first checks locations on the availability of inventory for the location type of the package definition level. If no inventory is available for the preferred location type, or not enough, LN checks the other location type on the availability of inventory.

If this check box is selected, and an outbound advice is generated, LN searches for the minimum number of picks needed to get the quantity specified on an order line. For this purpose, LN searches for the largest stock point. If the entire quantity cannot be picked from the largest stock point, LN moves on to the second largest stock point, and so on, until the entire quantity is picked.

For example, sales order 27500157 lists 15 items VIN. Item VIN is lot controlled and stored in Warehouse WH00131:


Location	Lot	Item	Quantity	Unit
A	1	VIN	5	PCS
A	2	VIN	5	PCS
A	3	VIN	5	PCS
B	4	VIN	6	PCS
B	5	VIN	6	PCS

As a result, in the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, LN generates the following outbound advice for sales order 27500157:


Location	Lot	Item	Quantity	Unit
B	4	VIN	6	PCS
B	5	VIN	6	PCS
A	1	VIN	3	PCS

The Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session advises the quantity based on the setting of the warehouse parameter Outbound Method in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session and inventory handling parameter Minimal Picks in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. The FIFO/LIFO dates have higher priority and overrule the minimal picks functionality. The minimal picks functionality is based on quantities. LN first sorts the stock points based on the outbound priority LIFO/FIFO and then uses the Minimal Picks parameter. LN searches for stock points with Last/First inventory dates first and after that selects the largest stock points to minimize the picked items units.

Note: If handling units are advised, the minimal picks parameter does not apply because this may lead to breaking down handling units, causing remaining fractional handling units.

To avoid this, the smallest possible number of complete handling units is searched to fulfill the demand. When there is still a remaining quantity to be advised, the handling units with the smallest quantities are selected first to clean up fractional handling units as much as possible.

If this check box is cleared, the FIFO/LIFO date overrules the quantity. This can result in more picks for each order line than the minimal picks. For items that have the same FIFO/LIFO date, LN orders the quantities starting with the smallest quantity.

The date and time when the parameters are valid. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting.

The setting of this check box determines how LN handles the outbound movement of sales order lines for which value Ship Set Complete, Ship Kit Complete, or Ship Order Complete is selected in the Shipping Constraint field of the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.

If this check box is selected, outbound advice is generated but not released until inventory for all order lines is present, even if outbound advice is set to automatic release in the applicable warehousing procedure. However, if at this point the inventory is insufficient to fulfil the order, LN deletes the just generated outbound advice for all order lines.

In this way, the inventory is available for other orders comprising lower quantities.

If this check box is cleared, outbound advice is generated and released. Before confirming the related shipment lines, LN checks if:

For all order lines shipment lines are present.
For each shipment line, the available inventory is sufficient. If there is inventory shortage, the shipment lines cannot be confirmed until replenishment has taken place.

This may result in numerous shipments waiting at the staging area until the warehouse is replenished. If this is a likely scenario, you may consider selecting this check box.

If this check box is selected, LN allows addition of shipment lines to shipments and shipments to loads for loads and shipments with status Confirmed.

If this check box is selected, unallocated inventory is available to be advised for an outbound-order line with a specification.

Note: This option is applicable if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) details session.

If this check box is selected, only inventory with a specification identical to the outbound-order line is available to be advised.

Note: This option is applicable if the Demand Pegging check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) details session.

If this check box is selected, LN only generates outbound advice for lots that include the revisions of engineering items that are the same as the revisions as recorded on the outbound-order line. So, the revision on the outbound-order line is binding for the revision of the outbound advice.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

If this check box is selected, you can only manually create outbound advice for lots that include the revisions of engineering items that are the same as the revisions as recorded on the outbound-order line. So, the revision on the outbound-order line is binding for the revision of the outbound advice.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

The number group used to generate numbers for sales orders with origin Sales (Manual) and shipments, that both represent inventory consumptions.

These numbers are shown in the Order and the Shipment field of the Item - Warehouse - Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000) session and the Order field of the Inventory Consumptions (whina1514m000) session.

The series used to generate sales orders with origin Sales (Manual) and shipments, that both represent inventory consumptions.

These numbers are shown in the Order and the Shipment field of the Item - Warehouse - Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000) session and the Order field of the Inventory Consumptions (whina1514m000) session.

If this check box is selected, LN prints the Item/Item Group Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the outbound procedure.

If this check box is selected, LN prints the Warehouse/Location Storage Conditions on documents/reports that belong to the outbound procedure.

Indicates whether export compliance is in use.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Disable unused concepts in Warehousing.

This field determines the way the time interval of a shipment is set when a new shipment is created. The shipment's time interval is the time between the dates and times in the From field and the To field in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session.

Based on the time interval:

LN automatically adds outbound-order lines to the shipment.
You can manually add outbound-order lines to the shipment.

When shipments are generated, LN determines the default values for the From and To fields based on the value of the current field.


Current field	From	To
Per Exact Planned Delivery Date/Time	The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.	The outbound-order line's exact planned delivery date and time.
For Planned Delivery Day	The outbound-order line's planned delivery date with time 0:00.	The outbound-order line's planned delivery date with time 23:59:59.
Up to and Including Planned Delivery Day	-	The latest planned delivery date present on the corresponding outbound advice with time 23:59.
Within Time Interval	Shipment Date From = Shipment Creation Date - Minimum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)	Shipment Date To = Shipment Creation Date + Maximum Shipment Interval (in hours or calendar days)

Within Time Interval

The Within Time Interval option is unavailable for financial warehouses.

If the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment criteria is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment interval is set based on the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned delivery date of the corresponding outbound order lines, which contain the unique reference. This criteria overrules all the other criteria, including the shipment interval.

You can add shipment lines for the same customer to a shipment that already exists on a staging location if the status of the shipment is not Frozen or Confirmed.

If the time interval is expressed in calendar days, the shipment dates must be rounded off to entire calendar days, starting at 00:00:00 AM and ending at 23:59:59 PM.

Note: This field is unavailable if a main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

If this check box is selected, LN generates a separate shipment for each new picking mission if no suitable existing shipment can be found.

Note:

The Single Picking Mission per Shipment option:

Does not apply in case of financial warehouse.
Does not apply in case of composing a shipment or load.

Single load for the same Ship-from Address, Carrier and Route

The shipment building engine combines multiple shipments into the same load in case the Ship-from Address, the Carrier, and the Route on these shipments are identical. This implies that no new loads are created in case the ship-to address of the (additional) shipment differs.

Note:

In case the Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment criteria is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session, the shipment interval is set based on the earliest planned delivery date and the latest planned delivery date of the corresponding outbound order lines (containing the unique reference). This criteria overrules all the other criteria, including the Single Picking Mission per Shipment, because it cannot create multiple shipments with the same shipment reference.

Example


Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment = No Single Picking Mission per Shipment = Yes
Run Number	Warehouse	Picking Mission	Shipment Reference	Shipment
1	WRH01	1	REF001	SH0000001
1	WRH01	2	REF001	SH0000002
1	WRH01	3	REF003	SH0000003


Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment = Yes Single Picking Mission per Shipment = Yes
Run Number	Warehouse	Picking Mission	Shipment Reference	Shipment
1	WRH01	1	REF001	SH0000001
1	WRH01	2	REF001	SH0000001
1	WRH01	3	REF003	SH0000002

The shipment selection criteria based on which the new shipments are linked to already existing shipments. When new orders are picked, LN must determine if the orders fall within the shipment interval. You can set the criteria based on which the shipment interval can be matched against the planned delivery date of the order or against the time of picking of the order. The orders that fall within this shipment interval can be added to an existing shipment.

You can select from the following available criteria:

Time of Picking

If the time when the picking list is confirmed falls within the shipment interval, the order line is linked to the existing shipment. Otherwise, a new shipment is created.
Planned Delivery Date

If the planned delivery date falls within the shipment interval, the order line is linked to the existing shipment. Otherwise, a new shipment is created.

Note:

Indicates the conditions that govern the generation of cross-dock orders, when an issue order is released to Warehousing . The value that you specify in the field is defaulted in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.

To enable this field, you must select the Dynamic Cross-docking check box. If you clear the Dynamic Cross-docking check box, the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field is set to Never.

Never

No cross-dock orders are created.

Always

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . Every cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity.

Time Phased Shortage

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . For each order, LN checks whether there will be an inventory shortage on the planned delivery date. In case of inventory shortage, a cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity. The expected inventory is calculated based on the following types of transactions:

On-hand inventory
Planned issue transactions
Planned receipt transactions

Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts

Cross-dock orders are created for the entire order quantity of the outbound order line, when the time phased inventory is less than zero. You can select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, when you are not certain about the supplier's on-time delivery performance.

If you select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, the expected time phased inventory on the planned delivery date is calculated based on:

Current available inventory ( inventory on hand less the inventory blocked).
Planned inventory issue transactions, including:
- Inventory issue transactions for the planned delivery date.
- Other issue orders within the order lead time, but cannot be replenished with that time.

Time phased inventory = available inventory - planned inventory issue transactions

The planned inventory receipt transactions are excluded from the calculation. Therefore, the receipt transactions are not added to the expected time phased inventory.

Note: When an issue order is released to Warehousing or when you create a manual warehouse issue order, the value of the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session determines how the time phased inventory on the planned delivery date of the outbound order line is calculated.

Indicates the conditions that govern the automatic cancelation or partial cancelation of the related cross-dock orders when an outbound advice for an outbound order line is generated.

Note:

The parameter applies to dynamic cross-dock orders only, and not to static cross-dock orders or direct material supply related cross-dock orders.
The field is enabled only when you select the Dynamic Cross-docking check box.
The automatic cancellation of cross-dock orders is possible when you generate an outbound advice. Automatic cancellation is not possible for an outbound advice that is manually created or modified.

Allowed values

Never: Cross-dock orders are never canceled, even when inventory is available for outbound advice. This value is selected by default.
Open and Planned Cross-dock Orders: Cross-dock orders without lines and cross-dock orders with lines are canceled. The part of the cross-dock order that can be canceled is equal to the difference between the requested cross-dock order quantity and the total quantity of the cross-dock order lines that are not canceled.
Open Cross-dock Orders: Cross-dock orders that do not have cross-dock order lines are canceled. The cross-dock orders that have canceled cross-dock order lines are also canceled.

The minimum and maximum time fence tolerances for the receipt date.

If this check box is selected, the outbound handling unit mask is according to the serial-shipping container code (SSCC) standards.

An SSCC consists of 18 digits which are subdivided in the following way:

Position 1 : packaging indicator (usually 3)
Position 2-8 : company prefix number (according to EAN standards)
Position 9-17: serial number (allocated by the company coding the unit)
Position 18 : check digit (according to EAN standards)

According to the above mentioned subdivision, you can create a mask for SSCC with the following mask segments:

Segment 1: segment type = Alphanumeric and segment length = 1
Segment 2: segment type = Alphanumeric and segment length = 7
Segment 3: segment type = Sequence and segment length = 9

Segment 4, check digit, with segment type Alphanumeric and segment length 1 is not modeled by the user. LN checks if the mask has 17 positions, and adds the 18th digit when creating a handling unit identification code.

You can create masks in the Masks (tcibd4102m000) session. You can create mask segments in the Mask Segment (tcibd4103s000) session.

If this check box is selected, inventory blocks can only be removed by the user who originally created the blocks. Other users cannot release the inventory. By default, the check box is selected.

If this check box is cleared, LN allows any user to release the inventory that is blocked by other users.

If this check box is selected, LN enables the extended registration of packaging items functionality. This functionality allows you to record packaging item transactions.

Note: Only logistics data is recorded by LN, not financial data.

The field determines the stage in the supply process at which the packaging-item related transactions are updated in the shipping material accounts by LN in case of a logistical service provider (LSP) scenario. The field is enabled only for VMI warehouses in which warehouse management is not carried out by own company. The packaging-item related transactions can be updated by LN at the following points in the process:

Shipment to VMI Warehouse

The shipping material account must be updated during shipment of (packaging) items from the normal warehouse to the VMI warehouse.
Consumption by Customer

The shipping material account must be updated during shipment of (packaging) items from the VMI warehouse (Logistical Service Provider (LSP) warehouse) to the customer/OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
Not Applicable

LN assigns this value for warehouses in which the own company is carrying out inventory management. To record the packaging item transactions, you must select the Extended Packaging Item Registration check box in the Warehouse Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session.

Note: This field is unavailable if a main warehouse is selected for the current warehouse in the Shipment through Warehouse field. The values specified for the main warehouse apply to the current warehouse. For more information, refer to Multiwarehouse shipments.

If this check box is selected, inbound settings specified in the Warehousing parameter sessions are copied to their counterparts of the Inbound tab in the current session. These settings are read-only. See Warehouse data and settings on company level.

If this check box is selected, you can confirm zero receipts.

If this check box is cleared, you can only confirm zero receipts if the following conditions are met:

You already received goods for the order line
The receipt line is a final receipt

To make a final receipt line, select the Final Receipt check box on the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session.

If this check box is selected, the receipt of the goods listed on an order line or handling unit is automatically confirmed when the order line or handling unit is linked to a receipt record. To link a handling unit or order line to a receipt record, use the Receive command in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. For more information, refer to Receive - easy entry.

LN enables integrations with software supporting bar code reading devices. If such configurations are in place, a receipt line is automatically created, linked to a receipt, and confirmed by scanning a handling unit label in the warehouse.

Note: You cannot change the contents of a receipt line, such as the received quantities, after it has been confirmed. Therefore, it is recommended not to select this check box if changes to receipt lines may be required.

If this check box is selected, and you create effectivity units, LN generates lots.

If this check box is selected, you must specify the packing slip number in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session when you receive purchased items.

Apart from purchase orders, you can set the packing slip number field as mandatory for any other type of orders. Example sales order, service order and so on.

To select the type of order for which the packing slip number must be specified, click the More button, the list of orders displays in a new window.

If this check box is selected, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected for all receipt lines of a purchase order line receipt after the last receipt line is confirmed. For the receipt lines, the Final Receipt check box is made read-only.

The setting in this field is the default for all warehouses in your organization. In the Confirm Receipt as Final field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, you can change this setting for individual warehouses.

If this check box is selected, end users are not required to (re-) check the received items while confirming receipts and manually select the Final Receipt check box. This will speed up the receipt procedure, which can be important if large numbers of receipt transactions are involved. As an additional result, the possible situation that back orders are not created because a user forgot to select the Final Receipt check box is prevented. On the other hand, if checking the received items while confirming receipts is required for the current warehouse, you must clear this check box.

The only way to undo the automatic selection of the Final Receipt check box for an individual receipt is to adjust the receipt quantities in the Receipt Correction (whinh3121s000) session. This session requires specific authorization.

Note:

If this check box is selected, and receipt confirmation must be blocked if the received quantities are not fulfilled according to the receipt tolerances, you must redefine the receipt tolerances either by changing the Block value to Warn, or by adjusting the quantities.

You can define receipt tolerances and blockings in the Receiving group box of the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.

If this check box is selected, LN only generates inbound advice for revisions of engineering items on the order.

Default value

The default value is derived from the Engineering Revisions check box of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. If the Engineering Revisions check box is selected, the current check box is also selected. If the Engineering Revisions check box is cleared, the current check box is disabled.

The type of location to which te received items are preferably advised.

Receiving location

The location in which the received goods are placed while they await the generation of an inbound advice.

Pick location

The inventory location designated for order picking purposes. A pick location is mainly used for the outbound of small quantities and/or containers that can be replenished by bulk locations.

Bulk location

The location used mainly for large inbound quantities and/or containers and to indicate from which pick locations can be replenished.

Staging location

A shipping dock in the warehouse where items are held just before they are placed on any means of transport for shipment.

Inspection location

A type of inventory location exclusively designated to store items that are eligible for inspection upon receipt.

After the items have passed inspection, they are transferred to:

A normal location if they are approved.
A quarantine location if they are rejected.

Goods in an inspection location are always considered to be on-hold inventory.

Quarantine location

A type of warehouse location in which goods initially rejected during warehousing inspection or production are stored for further examination to determine their disposition.

Note: In locations of type Receiving, stock points are not supported.

Note:

Locations of types Bulk and Pick have higher priority for inbound advice.
The value of the current field serves as default for the value of the Default Location Type for Inbound Advice field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.

The minimum free capacity percentage of a location to be considered for inbound advice.

If this check box is selected, the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session only advises unoccupied locations when you generate an inbound advice. If you clear this check box, LN advises both occupied and unoccupied locations with available capacity.

An occupied location is one at which inventory has been registered or at which capacity has been allocated as a result of inbound movement (advised or manually created).

Note: This parameter is only relevant to inbound advice.

If this check box is selected, LN ignores the expected occupation decrease of the locations of the current warehouse when determining the available storage capacity. LN determines the storage capacity while generating inbound advice. If this check box is cleared, LN adds the expected occupation decrease to the available storage capacity when generating inbound advice.

The expected occupation decrease of a location is the quantity, weight, floor space and/or volume by which a location’s occupation is expected to be decreased based on the outbound advice generated for the location.

The expected occupation decreases when outbound advice is generated. The actual occupation decreases when the outbound advice is released or the picking list is confirmed. The expected occupation decrease is displayed in the Warehouse - Location - Capacity (whwmd3101s000) session.

Note:

This check box is available if:

The warehouse is location-controlled. A warehouse is location-controlled if the Locations check box is selected.
The Use Only Unoccupied Locations check box is cleared.

If this check box is selected, all locations are considered when generating inbound advice in the Generate Inbound Advice (whinh3201m000) session. If this check box is cleared, LN only takes fixed locations into consideration for advice.

Note: In the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session, you can record whether a location is a fixed or a free (that is, non-fixed) location for the item.
