Item In ERP 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 (generic item). You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. Examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. Process Date Date on which the inventory variance is processed. A generally accepted medium of exchange (such as: coins, treasury notes, and banknotes).
