Field Information

Item

item

Segmented item codes consist of a project-code segment and an item-base segment (the item code). You can define the item code segmentation in the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session.

Note: 

• If the item is a generic item, the following characters are not allowed in the item code:

  % ' " ^ \ ! @ # $ & * ( ) | / ; ~ ` ? { } [ ] < >

  The reason is that object files that are generated for constraints in the Product Configuration module cannot contain these characters.

Unit Effective End Item

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

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).

Units are Interchangeable

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

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, irrespective of the effectivity unit.

Revision Controlled

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

Revision Data in IBD

If this check box is selected, the revision data of the engineering item is controlled by IBD (Item Engineering Revisions).

Note: 

• This field is displayed only if:
  • The Engineering Revisions check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
  • The Originating App field is set to these values in the Item Base Data Parameters (tcibd9199m000) session:
    • IBD
    • PLM (Internal)
    • PLM (External)

• If this check box is cleared, the revision data of the engineering item is controlled by EDM (Engineering Item Revisions).

• This field is applicable only if the Revision Controlled check box is selected for the item.

Update Method for E-Item Relation

The selected value indicates how LN handles the relationship between revisions of the engineering item and standard items or customized items.

Allowed values

Yes

If a new revision is created during engineering, and a relationship already exists between the engineering item and an item, the existing (effective) revision number is removed and replaced by the new revision number.

Freeze

If a new revision is created during engineering, and a relationship already exists between the engineering item and an item, the existing (effective) revision number stays the same, and is not changed. In other words, the revision number of the new revision will not replace the existing revision number.

Break

If a new revision is created during engineering, and a relationship already exists between the engineering item and an item, the existing (effective) revision number is removed. The removed revision number is not replaced by the new revision number, which means that no revision number is displayed anymore.

Note: 

• This field is enabled only if the Revision Controlled check box is selected.
• LN allows you to modify the value in this only if the Originating App is EDM or if the Revision Data in IBD check box is cleared.
• LN sets this field to Not Applicable if the Revision Controlled check box and the Revision Data in IBD check boxes are cleared.
• This field is displayed only if:
  • The Engineering Revisions check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.
  • The EDM Deactivated checkbox is cleared in the Item Base Data Parameters (tcibd9199m000) session.
