Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000)

Use this session to view, specify, and maintain the default global item data for a combination of item type and item group.

Default global item data comprises the centrally controlled default item data at the company level, including the default global subentities of the item data. The default item's subentities include the default item data that is specific for the various LN packages, such as item sales defaults, and item production defaults.

If you use multisite, the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session is started when you specify or modify default item data in the current session. You can use the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session to specify the default sites and offices that can store, buy, make, and sell the item.

Note: 
  • All global item defaults that are used in a company are displayed in the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) overview session.
  • If you specify an item of this type and item group in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, LN enters the default data in the corresponding fields. You can then use the default values or change the values as required.

Note: The Subcontracting with Material Flow check box must be selected to select this supply source.
Distribution

The item is supplied by a planned distribution order.

Configurable

If this check box is selected, the item is configurable.

Note: 
  • For Manufactured or Product items with the Default Supply Source set to Assembly and for Generic items, this check box is by default selected and disabled.
  • If this check box is selected for a Purchased or Product item, the Purchase Schedule in use check box is by default selected and disabled in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session.
List Type

A further specification of items of the type Purchased, Product, or List.

If the item type is Purchased or Product, you can specify that the item is a tool.

If the item type is List, you can specify whether the item is a:

Subassembly

If this check box is selected, the item is a subassembly.

Floor Stock
If this check box is selected, the item is defined as floor stock item.
Unit Set

The default unit set for items of this item type and item group.

Inventory Unit

The default inventory unit for items of this item type and item group.

Weight Unit

The default weight unit for items of this item type and item group. The item's weight is expressed in the weight unit on the intrastat report.

Weight

The default weight of items of this item type and item group, expressed in the weight unit. This information is required on the intrastat report.

Revision Controlled

If this check box is selected, the item has revisions.

Lot Controlled

If this check box is selected, the item must be assigned to a lot.

Serialized

If this check box is selected, occurrences of the items are serialized items. LN generates the serial numbers by using a mask, or you can manually specify the serial numbers.

Note: If you cannot select this check box, the rounding factor of the serialized item's inventory unit may be wrong. You must set the rounding factor in the Units (tcmcs0101m000) session to 1.0.

Unit Effective End Item

If this check box is selected, the item is unit effective.

  • You can generate effectivity units for an item in the Items - Effectivity Series (tcuef0101m000) session after you defined an effectivity series.
  • An effectivity unit is automatically generated when you insert a unit effective item on a sales order line, sales quotation line, or sales contract line. In this case, also the Generate Effectivity Unit during Demand Entry check box in the Unit Effectivity Parameters (tcuef0500m000) session must be selected.

If this check box is selected and disabled, effectivity units are already linked to this item. Items and their effectivity units are displayed in the Effectivity Units (tcuef0502m000) session.

If this check box is cleared, effectivity units cannot be generated automatically for the item, but you can still manually link an effectivity unit to the item on a sales order line or a quotation order line. If, for example, the item is a spare part, on a sales order line, you can insert the effectivity unit of the item in which the spare part is used.

Unit Effective Supply

Order planning in Enterprise Planning results in calculating the demand for the components of parent items. If an effectivity unit is assigned to the parent item, you can choose to specify the components of the parent item by the parent item's effectivity unit.

If this check box is selected, LN communicates the parent item's effectivity unit to the component items. This means that if the same component item is used in several unit effective parent items, several orders are generated for the component item, each order with its own effectivity unit.

If this check box is cleared, LN does not communicate the parent item's effectivity unit to the component items. This is useful if the effectivity unit of the parent item is not relevant for the lower part of the item structure. Although components are demanded for 100 different effectivity units, you only get one supply order of 100 pieces for the standard configuration instead of 100 orders.

Note: 
  • You can select this check box only if the Lot Controlled check box is selected. If you store effectivity units in inventory, unit information is linked to the item's lot number: the inventory is stored at lot level, and the unit is recorded in the lot. Note that if an item is not lot controlled, the item is stored with unit 0 (zero) in inventory, even if a demand exists for a specific effectivity unit.
  • If this check box is cleared, the Effectivity Units are Interchangeable check box is always selected and disabled. In this way, the demand is matched with available inventory, irrespective of the effectivity unit.

Example

Item C is a purchased item that is used in two unit effective end items, A and B. One end item, item A, has effectivity unit 15, and the other end item, item B, has effectivity unit 16.

If the Unit Effective Supply check box is selected for item C, and a demand for item C is required when producing items A and B, two purchase orders for item C are created: one purchase order with effectivity unit 15, and another purchase order with effectivity unit 16.

If the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared for item C, only one purchase order is created to order two items C. The effectivity unit is 0 (zero).

Effectivity Units are Interchangeable

If this check box is selected, the unit-effective item is interchangeable between different effectivity units.

This check box is always selected and disabled if the Unit Effective Supply check box is cleared. In this way, the demand is matched with available inventory, regardless of the effectivity unit.

Material

The material of which the items are composed. This field is only used for information.

Standard

The industrial standard used to produce or purchase the items. For example, NEN3140 or ISO9000. This field is only used for information.

Size

The items default size. This field is only used for information.

Change Management Allowed

If this check box is selected, you can use Change Management (CHM) change orders to control the item data and the effectivity dates of the item's BOM data and routing data.

This check box is selected by default if the Object Data Management (DM) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

Effectivity Dates by Change Order

If you want to control the effectivity dates of the item's BOMs and routings through Data Management change orders, select this check box.

If the Change Management Allowed check box is selected and you clear this check box, LN applies the changes according to the approved change orders but does not record the effective dates. This allows you to track the changes that are made to the item, the BOM, and the routing of which the effective dates are not important.

Multiple Change Orders Allowed

If you select this check box, a single BOM line or routing operation can be controlled by more than one change order at a time. The first change order that is approved makes the BOM line or routing operation effective. If the Effectivity Dates by Change Order check box is selected, you can select or clear this check box.
