General
Item Type | A classification of items used to identify if the item is, for example, a purchased item, a manufactured item, or an equipment item. Depending on the item's type, certain functions will only apply to that item.
Item Group | Group of items with similar characteristics. Each item belongs to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with the item type to set up item defaults.
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 warehouse 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.
Search Key | A search key is an alternate means to retrieve the item.
Package Definition | The code of the package definition. This is the default package definition for the item. Initially, when you insert the item, this field is disabled, because you cannot insert a package definition before the item is inserted. After entering and saving an item, you can zoom to the Item - Package Definitions (whwmd4130m000) session to create and select a package definition for the item.
Allocation Level | The inventory allocation level for the current item stored in the current warehouse. The default value is taken from the Allocation Level field of the Inventory Commitments (whinp2100m000) session. For a configurable purchased item, the Allocation Level is treated as Physical Item. This means that when you receive a configurable purchased item, a handling unit is generated, and the specifications, including the option list ID and allocations, are stored in the handling unit.

Volume | The volume an item takes up. The volume is equal to Length multiplied by the Width multiplied by the Height.
Weight | The weight of the item.
Weight | The units in which the weight of the item is expressed.
Issue Data
Slow-Moving Percentage | The limit up to which an item is identified as a slow moving item. This value is retrieved based on the turnover rate of the item. Ranges of To Turnover Rate (Upper Boundary) exist, each with a Slow-Moving Percentage assigned. The Perform Slow-Moving Analysis (whina6220m000) session uses this information to assign the correct Slow-Moving Percentage to the items. The turnover rate is calculated as follows:
    Turnover rate = annual usage / inventory on hand
Expected Annual Issue | The expected annual issue is the quantity of the item that is expected to be used (issued) for each year, expressed in the inventory unit. Allowed values Minimum: 0 Maximum: 999999999.9999 Default value 0 For the ABC analysis of items with a historical usage spanning no more than three 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.
Expected Annual Issue | 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.
Forecast Method | The forecast method determines how the expected demand for the item 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. In which it serves to compute: The demand forecast for the next period The safety stock The reorder point The expected annual issue for each item
ABC Code | The ABC code shows each item's contribution to the annual sales volume. A items are high-value items, whereas C items constitute low-value items. Related topics To perform an ABC analysis To perform cycle counts
Manually Entered ABC Code | If this check box is selected, the ABC code has been entered manually in the ABC Code field. ERP LN will not calculate and overwrite unless the proper option is selected in the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session. If this check box is cleared, the ABC Code field has not been entered manually: it is system-generated or not yet calculated.

If this check box is selected, consignment inventory is issued before own inventory. If this check box is cleared, own inventory is issued before consignment inventory. Related topics Consignment
Outbound Method
Outbound Method | The method by which ERP LN determines which items to issue first. Note To change the outbound method, use the Change Outbound Method (whwmd3202m000) session. If the item is of type Service or Cost, the outbound method 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. Caution! Comparing FIFO and LIFO to the By Location method, using FIFO or LIFO can result in a considerably larger number of records than By Location. The reason is, because for FIFO or LIFO, receipts are stored by inventory date in the stockpoint inventory. The stock point inventory is displayed in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session. For example, five receipts on different dates of a particular item in a particular warehouse are registered as five separate entries with different inventory dates in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session. Using By Location, the same receipts would result in a single entry, provided that the items are stored in the same location. Performance aspects Using the outbound 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
