Item Creation

Use this widget to create an item using a hierarchy-based template item from your homepage or workspace.
Note: You must activate the MITHRY and MITMAS tables in the M3 Function Search administration before using the widget. To update table indexes, see Infor M3 CE Core Administration Guide.
This widget receives information from hierarchy-based template items and prerequisite data must be defined first before using the widget. Perform the prerequisite tasks based on the required data definition as follows:
  1. Define the hierarchy ID with appropriate levels, such as Lvl1, Lvl2, Lvl3 etc., in 'Item Hierarchy: Open' (MMS021).
  2. Specify a template item in 'Item. Open' (MMS001) that should be similar with the code of the hierarchy ID provided in (MMS021). Take note that if a template item is defined at Lvl1, the widget will load only the Lv1 information even though further levels are available in the hierarchy master. We recommend that you always define the template item in (MMS001) similar to the hierarchy ID defined for the lowest hierarchy level.

    For example, if H1 is Lvl1 as hierarchy code in the (MMS021) program, then this ID should also be mapped to lower levels like H1H2 as Level 2, and H1H2H3 as Level 3. If the template item exist for H1 being Lvl1 hierarchy ID, H1H2 or H1H2H3 will not be loaded in the widget. In this case, you can define the template item in (MMS001) at the lowest level in the hierarchy, that is, H1H2H3 being the level 3 in the hierarchy ID defined in (MMS021).

Using the Item Creation widget

  1. On the Item Creation widget, click New Item.
  2. Specify all required information:
    Hierarchy 1
    Select a level 1 hierarchy ID from the options defined in (MMS021).
    Hierarchy 2
    Select a level 2 hierarchy ID from the options defined in (MMS021) that is mapped under Hierarchy 1.
    Hierarchy 3
    Select a level 3 hierarchy ID from the options defined in (MMS021) that is mapped under Hierarchy 2.
    Item number
    Specify a unique ID to assign to the item.
    Item description
    Specify an item name or short description for the item.
    Long description
    Specify a long description applicable for the item.
    Supplier
    Specify a keyword to help return search results for available suppliers.
    Sales price
    Specify the sales price for the item.
    Note: The currency for the price is automatically populated from the hierarchy-based template item.
    Purchase price
    Specify the purchase price for the item.
    Note: The currency for the price is automatically populated from the hierarchy-based template item.
  3. Click Save. If you save the item successfully, a message is displayed on the widget containing a link to the M3 program where the item is recorded.
    Note: Items that are created from this widget can be accessed through 'Item. Open' (MMS001).
