Working with master items
You can add item records, associate items with vendors,
add specifications, create item structures, create condition-enabled
structures, create item kits, and add alternate items. You can also
change the status of the item, duplicate the item, specify organization
details, and delete items.
Creating item master records
You can create item records which identify items and contain information associated with items.
Creating item assembly structures
You can create item assembly structures that are lists of parts and subassemblies. A structure is needed to build an item or to define the requirements for a location. Use item assembly structures on rotating items and on items in a kit. You can apply item assembly structures as a template when creating rotating asset records and location records.
Adding items to storerooms
You can add items to a single storeroom or to multiple storerooms. An inventory record is created when you add an item to a storeroom.
Viewing contracts
You can view the contracts that are associated with an item.
Specifying organization details for items
You can specify organization details for items. You can group items in item sets, and multiple organizations can use the item sets. The safety hazards and tax codes that you apply to an item are specific to a single organization. You can also specify the tax-exempt status for the item at the organization level.
Creating item kits
An item kit is a group of items that are issued as a single unit. You assemble an item kit and add it to a storeroom as one package of items that carries with it the required costing and balance information. You can define the items that comprise a kit.
Associating commodities with contracts
You can associate commodity groups and codes to a contract record to add items for a sale or a purchase as part of the contract. Commodity groups and codes help you categorize and manage contracts and their items and products. You can search for contracts by commodity, report spending on a commodity, and track commodities supplied by specified vendors.
