         <ListIntro>To define the item data, carry out the following
		  steps:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>If you want to use segmented item codes, start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0500m000" role="session">Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000)</GUIRef> session to define the item code segments.
		  The item code segments must have been previously set up in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tt/gfd/ttgfd4122m000" role="session">Segmented Domains (ttgfd4122m000)</GUIRef> session in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tt" role="package">Enterprise Server</GUIRef>. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000087" role="manual">Segmented item codes</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0123m000" role="session">Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000)</GUIRef> session to define the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000007" role="glossary">item groups</Link>. Every item must
		  belong to an item group. The item group determines the default currency that is
		  used to calculate the item cost price.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0106m000" role="session">Unit Sets (tcmcs0106m000)</GUIRef> session to define the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#UnitSet_tc" role="glossary">unit sets</Link> required for the
		  items and link units to the unit sets in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0112m000" role="session">Units by Unit Set (tcmcs0112m000)</GUIRef> session. For details, see <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000013" role="manual">To use unit sets</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0502m000" role="session">Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000)</GUIRef> session to define default item data for items
		  of a specific item type within each item group. In this way, you do not need to
		  specify all the item data for every individual item. See also <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000352" role="manual">To change an item's default data</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem> 
            <List>
               <ListIntro>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0501m000" role="session">Items - General (tcibd0501m000)</GUIRef> session to define the item data for each item. If you
				defined default item data for the selected item group and item type, LN enters the default
				data. You can use the default values or change the values as required. The item
				data includes, for example:</ListIntro>
               <ListItem>The <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000006" role="glossary">item type</Link>.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>The item's <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#UnitSet_tc" role="glossary">unit set</Link>.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>The item's <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000337" role="glossary">inventory unit</Link>.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Whether or not the
				item is a <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000343" role="glossary">lot</Link> item.</ListItem>
            </List>
         </ListItem>
         <ListItem>Start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0103m000" role="session">Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000)</GUIRef> session to define the <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ConverFactor_td" role="glossary">conversion factor</Link> of the
		  item's alternative units to the item's inventory unit. You can define
		  conversion factors that apply to item groups or to individual items. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000014" role="manual">To use conversion factors</Link>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd2501m000" role="session">Items - Ordering Defaults (tcibd2501m000)</GUIRef> and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd2500m000" role="session">Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000)</GUIRef> session to specify the item ordering data. For more information, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tc/onlinemanual/000038" role="manual">Item ordering data</Link>.</ListItem>
