Item definition in Enterprise Planning
Enterprise Planning allows a very flexible definition of item codes using segmentation.
An administrator must define the item segmentation, before you can use Enterprise Planning.
Currently Enterprise Planning supports the following logical segments:
- Planning cluster segment
- Project segment
- Item code segment
Note: If multisite functionality is active, a planning cluster is mandatory. If multisite is not implemented, leaving the planning cluster segment black will link all warehouses to a blank cluster to accommodate distribution planning functionality.
With the optional project segment you can define project items.
You can define anything between 1 and 3 segments. Item code segments have the following order:
- Planning Cluster
- Project
- Item code
-
The item code segment is mandatory.
-
The segment definition cannot be easily changed at a later date. Be careful when you specify the segments.
-
The item code segment in Enterprise Planning must have the same length as the item code segment in the other packages.
