Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants.

The following are examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Effectivity Unit A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item. Inventory on Hand The physical quantity of goods in one or more warehouses (including the inventory on hold). LN updates the inventory on hand if items are received or issued. Note LN automatically updates the overall inventory on hand for each item throughout all warehouses. The overall inventory on hand is displayed in the Item Inventory (whwmd4100m100) session. Blocked The total inventory on hold for the item in the warehouse, expressed in the inventory unit. Inventory on hold is part of the inventory on hand. Inventory can be blocked by blocking all transactions on: The location, zone, or warehouse ( Warehouse - Blocked Zones/Locations (whwmd6110m000)) The lot ( Item - Blocked Lots (whwmd6120m000)) The stockpoint ( Warehouse - Location - Item - Blocked Stock Points (whwmd6130m000)) Inventory can also be blocked as a result of an approval that must be inspected. Blocked for Planning The quantity excluded from planning. The items exist but are unavailable for planning. Inventory on Order The planned receipts. The inventory has been received and the inbound advice is generated. However, the advice is not yet released. This quantity is included in the economic stock. Note LN automatically updates the overall inventory on order for each item throughout all warehouses. The overall inventory on order is displayed in the Item Inventory (whwmd4100m100) session. Allocated Inventory stored in specific warehouses or warehouse locations that is allocated to outbound order lines for which outbound advice is created that is not yet shipped. Also referred to as firm allocation or hard allocation. After the inventory is shipped, that is, has left the warehouse, the allocation is deleted. See also allocated inventory The allocated inventory is updated by outbound order lines of the following origins: Sales Maintenance sales Maintenance work SFC Production ASC Production Sservice Transfer Project Committed The item quantity in this warehouse that is committed to any order for which inventory must be issued. The quantity is expressed in the inventory unit. LN also automatically updates the total commitments for each item throughout all warehouses. Related topics Inventory commitment Location Allocated The quantity allocated at the location level is the quantity that is advised for outbound. If outbound advice is generated, this quantity is increased. When the outbound advice is released, this quantity is decreased with the shipped quantity. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. Economic Stock The inventory that is available to be sold. Inventory Committed in Process That part of the committed inventory for which at least one the following applies: An outbound advice exists for (a part of) the committed quantity. (A part of) the committed quantity is blocked for outbound inspection. This quantity need not be equal to the Blocked quantity in the current session, because the Blocked for Planning is the item's total blocked quantity in the warehouse. Note The Inventory Committed in Process cannot be more than the Committed inventory. Actual Available Inventory The inventory actually available in the warehouse that can be linked to an order. |
