Item Master

You use the Item Master application to define items that are stocked in your storerooms. You group these items in an item set that can be shared by the organizations that use the item set.

When you create an item record, define the main attributes of the item (such as the commodity codes, the order, and issue units, whether an item is lotted, rotating, or condition-enabled). You can also specify any alternate items that you can use in its place and a list of the condition codes that you want applied to the item. The safety hazards and tax codes that you apply to an item are specific to a single organization.

Use the Item Master application to perform the following tasks for each item:

• Create condition-enabled items to track the value of an item as its condition changes.
• Create item kits that are collections of items that you issue as a single unit.
• Add items to one or more storerooms.
• Specify the safety hazards and tax codes that vary by organization.
• Specify items as consignment items that are considered part of the consignment inventory, and that are paid for when consumed.
• Specify items as tax-exempt.
• Specify the percentage of items that can be received over the amount ordered in the initial agreement.
• Define other information related to an item, such as vendors that carry the item, specifications for the item, and the parts needed to build an item assembly structure.
• Attach outside documents that relate to an item.
