Represents any unique purchased part or manufactured product. Item, as used here, refers to the basic information about an item, including its attributes, cost, and locations. It does not include item quantities. Compare to the noun BalanceInventory, which includes all quantities and other location-specific information. ItemMaster is used as the Item Master. The ItemMaster provides details about an Item in many domains of an enterprise. Each domain or functional area are interested in different views of the Item. The ItemMaster provides information to the following partial list of functional areas: Manufacturing, Order Management along with the Catalog view, Logistics, Engineering along with the EngineeringDocument, CRM, and Financials. Identifies everything know about an item. Information at the header level applies to all locations unless indicated differently at a given location. Identifies the Item information that is specific to a location. For example a plant or site may keep different information about an item than the corporate office. Identifies the cost or value of the item. To specify additional details for packaging items (when ItemMasterHeader/Type="Packaging") Idicates if the Item is reported theoretically (back-flushed) or if the ITEM is reported directly (actual) Is the default UOM that the business refers to the item in. This is sometimes different from the unit of measure that is used to count a product as it is consumed, sold or accounted for. EXAMPLES: Generic Quantity (Each, Pair, Dozen, Gross, etc); Weight (Ounce, Pound, Ton, Kilogram, etc); Volume (Cup, Pint, Gallon, Liter, etc); Length (Inch, Foot, Yard, Meter, etc) This describes the unit of measure that a product is stored in inventory. This is sometimes different from the unit of measure that is used to count a product as it is consumed, sold or accounted for. Examples are: - Generic Quantity (Each, Pair, Dozen, Gross, etc) - Weight (Ounce, Pound, Ton, Kilogram, etc) - Volume (Cup, Pint, Gallon, Liter, etc) - Length (Inch, Foot, Yard, Meter, etc) - Time (Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Year, etc) This describes the unit of measure that a product is stored in inventory. This is sometimes different from the unit of measure that is used to count a product as it is consumed, sold or accounted for. Examples are: - Generic Quantity (Each, Pair, Dozen, Gross, etc) - Weight (Ounce, Pound, Ton, Kilogram, etc) - Volume (Cup, Pint, Gallon, Liter, etc) - Length (Inch, Foot, Yard, Meter, etc) - Time (Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Year, etc) Specifies the default UOM when the item is picked up for sales. Specifies the UOM in which the item's sales price is generally specified This describes the unit of measure that a product is shipped. This is sometimes different from the unit of measure that is used to count a product as it is consumed, sold or accounted for. Examples are: - Generic Quantity (Each, Pair, Dozen, Gross, etc) - Weight (Ounce, Pound, Ton, Kilogram, etc) - Volume (Cup, Pint, Gallon, Liter, etc) - Length (Inch, Foot, Yard, Meter, etc) - Time (Second, Minute, Hour, Day, Year, etc) Indicates the business rules used to specify what constitutes a serial number Indicates the business rules used to specify what constitutes a lot Is the timestamp of the last modification to the Item Master for this Item. This identifies a set of related UOM's and their conversions from the Item's UOM Is a UOMGroup Identifier, that identifies a set of related UOM's and their conversions from the Item's UOM This identifies the item number assigned to the type of goods for the purposes of freight classification and cost calculation Qualifies goods for purposes of freight cost calculation. An example would the qualifications used by National Motor Freight Carriers. EXAMPLES National Motor Freight Carriers (NMFC) Class Code Based on an evaluation of density, stowability, ease of handling and liability, the commodities are grouped into one of 18 classes. To specify a default country of origin to the item Indicates if the item is a serialized item i.e. unique instances of the item are identified by unique serial numbers. Valid values are 0 for no, and 1 for yes Indicates if the item is a lotted item. Valid values are 0 for no, and 1 for yes Indicates if the item is configurable Indicates the type of control used to determine whether or not an item has expired or is no longer considered good to sell or consume. Identifyies the timestamp that the Item Master record was created. Indicates that an ITEM requires special processing to determine the actual net or gross weight during certain inventory operations. Indicates that an ITEM requires special processing to determine the actual net or gross weight during certain inventory operations. Indicates that an item requires special processing to determine the actual weight (catch weight) or other quantity measurement during inventory operations and other transactions Details for each auxiliary quantity A code that describes what secondary/auxiliary quantity is used to calculate Inventory Cost, for example Actual weight or Nominal weight. e.g. “ActualWeight”, “NominalWeight” A code that describes what auxiliary/secondary quantity is used to calculate selling prices, for example Actual weight or Nominal weight. e.g. “ActualWeight”, “NominalWeight This is the period of time in duration that the item is valid for use This is the average quantity made during a manufacturing run using a specific Item or Bill of Material. This is often used during MRP or other forecasting operations This is the average quantity made during a manufacturing run using a specific Item or Bill of Material. This is often used during MRP or other forecasting operations Identifies the cost or value of an item. Indicates the value per quantity of the item. Represents the value of the item to the owning organization. Is the methodology by which the value of an item is determined. Values are: Standard, Layered Standard, Moving Average, Weighted Average, LIFO, FIFO, Specific Identification, and Hybrid Costing. Is a grouping used to determine the General Ledger accounting effect. These are user defined values, with the exception of the values TOTAL, MATERIAL, LABOR, BURDEN, OVERHEAD, SUBCONTRACT Indicates the owning organzation of the item. This is the time period the item value is valid for. Specifies the warehouse location where the location overrides are applicable. Specifies locations other than warehouse location for the item data For example, item data that are different for different sites in an organization. Note that the location must still belong to the accounting entity specified on the item master header. When specified, this element would be the key for ItemLocation section instead of WarehouseLocation element (which is the key otherwise) This identifies the item number assigned to the type of goods for the purposes of freight classification and cost calculation Qualifies goods for purposes of freight cost calculation. An example would the qualifications used by National Motor Freight Carriers. EXAMPLES National Motor Freight Carriers (NMFC) Class Code Based on an evaluation of density, stowability, ease of handling and liability, the commodities are grouped into one of 18 classes. The UOM here represents the alternate UOM. The the Mulitplier determines the conversion between the parent UOM and the UOM specified here in the allternate UOM. Is the multiple to make the conversion from the Inventory UOM to the the alternate UOM. Represents any unique purchased part or manufactured product. Item, as used here, refers to the basic information about an item, including its attributes, cost, and locations. It does not include item quantities. Compare to the noun InventoryBalance, which includes all quantities and other location-specific information. Item is used as the Item Master. Code used for the customer Auxiliary Quantity UOM code. e.g. “KG” A conversion between the item's Packaging unit and the item's Auxiliary Quantity unit. This can be used to give an item’s nominal or average weight that might be used in lieu of a captured actual weight. For example if the item's Packaging unit is BX and each box is 5Kg, the auxiliary quantity conversion and the unit of measure would equal 5.0 and KG respectively. Tolerances for deviation from the expected nominal secondary quantity allowed when entering an actual quantity. This could be either used for sanity checks at the time of transaction entry, or could be used for reporting purposes. A code that describes what quantity is held the auxiliary quantity for example Actual weight or Nominal weight. e.g. “ActualWeight”, “NominalWeight Specifies an absolute value for tolerance. An absolute amount degree of deviation from the expected nominal secondary quantity allowed when entering an actual quantity. e.g. 0.25 Precision for Base UoM
