Item Master application

You use the Item Master application to define the 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, you define the main attributes of the item, such as commodity code and order and issue units. You can also specify items that you can use in their place and 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.

You use the Item Master application to do the following tasks:

• Associate material inspection certificates with items.
• Associate permits and certificates with items.
• Specify items as consignment items that are considered part of the consignment inventory, and that are paid for when used.
• Specify items as tax-exempt.
• 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.
• Define other information that is related to an item, such as vendors, specifications, and parts that are essential to build an item assembly structure.
• Attach outside documents that relate to an item.
• Indicate whether items are associated with safety-critical information.
• Specify whether items are chemicals, and the category of restricted chemicals to which items belong.
