| # Item - Warehousing Defaults (whwmd4101s000) Use this session to change or view the default warehousing data for items. The defaults you enter in this session are used when inserting a new item in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session. General Item Type The item type for which the default is defined. The item type places the item in a group of items, so that certain functions of the package will only apply to that item. Item Group The code of the item group to which the defaults apply. General Item Valuation Group An entity that is used to group items for inventory valuation purposes. To define an item valuation group, you must link an item valuation group code to the items that you want to include in the item valuation group. Item valuation groups and warehouse valuation groups are linked, for example, to inventory valuation methods to valuate the item-warehouse combinations included in the warehouse and item valuation groups. Allocation Level The inventory allocation level for the current item stored in the current warehouse. Related topics Inventory allocation levels Allocation and hard pegging in Warehouse Management Default Supply System You can specify a default supply system for every single item type and item group combination.

On a production order, a business partner is not known. As a result, Manufacturing cannot read an agreement. Instead, Manufacturing obtains a default value from the Ownership for Return to Warehouse field of the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session. The following values are available: Ownership Behavior. The default value in this field is Company Owned. Variances Process Inventory Variances Automatically If this check box is selected, LN processes inventory variances automatically. Use Fulfillment Plan This field provides the default value for the Use Fulfillment Plan check box in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session. Related topics Integration with Fulfillment Planning Inventory Storage Data Location Controlled If this check box is selected, the item is location-controlled If this check box is cleared, the item is not location-controlled Floor Stock If this check box is selected, the item originates from floor inventory. Items can be stored as floor inventory if: Their associated inventory carrying costs are low. They are present on the shop floor. Issues may not be entered manually. The item originating from the floor stock can appear as a component in the production bill of material or as material in the formula. In the case of a production order containing floor stock items, the estimated and actual data are the same. This means that the estimated quantities are automatically issued from inventory. With backflushing these are the quantities, calculated on the basis of the output of the production order or the quantity in the production batch. If this check box is cleared, the item does not originate from the floor stock and costing is based on the actual usage. Inventory Carrying Costs The inventory carrying costs constitute the cost of storing one inventory unit of an item for one year: these costs include interest, storage space, and risk. Allowed values 0 - 9999999.9999 Default value 0000 Note Inventory costs are used in the Calculate Economic Order Quantity (Camp) (whina2201m000) session. Inventory Carrying Costs The currency in which carrying costs are expressed. Frequency for Storage Inspection The frequency of the cycle counts of this item in days. Allowed values 0 - 999 Default value 0 You can generate regular cycle counts. For these counts, only those items are considered for which the value of this field is not equal to zero. Dimensions Length The length of the item. Length The unit in which the length of the item is measured. Width The width of the item. Height The height of the item. Issue Data Expected Annual Issue The quantity of items which is expected to be used (issued) per year. Allowed values 0 - 999999999.9999 Default value 0 Note For the ABC analysis of items with a historical usage spanning no more than 3 periods, the expected annual issue is used in the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session. The expected annual issue is also used in the Calculate Economic Order Quantity (Camp) (whina2201m000) session. The expected annual issue is updated through the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session. Forecast Method The forecast method determines how the expected demand for the item group in the next period is forecast. moving average exponential smoothing Previous Year's Calculation, using the calculation of the previous year as an estimate for the demand. Last Period's Demand, using the demand in the previous period as a forecast for the consecutive period. These methods must be predefined in the Forecast Methods (whina2100m000) session. The forecast method is only used in the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session, which serves to compute: The demand forecast for the next period The safety stock The reorder point The expected annual issue for each item Outbound Method Outbound Method The outbound priority for the issuing from inventory. If the item is of type Service or Cost, the outbound priority By Location is mandatory. Allowed values LIFO Using the LIFO system to determine demand, the inventory with the latest inventory date will be the first inventory to be issued. FIFO Using the FIFO system to determine demand, the inventory with the earliest inventory date will be the first inventory to be issued. By Location Using the outbound system By Location to determine demand, the inventory will be issued from inventory based on the outbound priority of the locations. The inventory date will not be taken into account. Note that you can use the By Location method for warehouses with and without locations. Performance aspects Using the outound methods may result in a considerable increase of records in your system and may impact system performance. For information on using outbound methods while limiting data growth and the use of system resources, see Outbound methods Period for Shelf Life Period for Shelf Life The unit of time in which the item's shelf life is expressed.
