| # To set up the item data To specify the item data, carry out the following steps: Step 1. Segmented item codes If you want to use segmented item codes, start the Item Code Segmentation (tcibd0500m000) session to define the item code segments. The item code segments must first be set up in the Segmented Domains (ttgfd4122m000) session in Enterprise Server. For more information, refer to Segmented item codes. Step 2. Item groups Start the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session to define the item groups. Every item must belong to an item group. The item group determines the default currency that is used to calculate the item's cost price. Step 3. Unit sets Use the Unit Sets (tcmcs0106m000) session to define the unit sets required for the items and link units to the unit sets in the Units by Unit Set (tcmcs0112m000) session. For more information, refer to To use unit sets. Step 4. Default general item data Start the Items - General Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session to specify 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. For more information, refer to To change an item's default data. Step 5. General item data Start the Items - General (tcibd0501m000) session to specify the item data for each item. If you specified default item data for the selected item group and item type, ERP Enterprise enters the default data. You can use the default values or change the values as required. For example, the item data includes the item type, the item's unit set and inventory unit, specifies whether or not the item is a lot item, and so on. Step 6. Conversion factors Start the Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000) session to specify the conversion factor 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 To use conversion factors. Step 7. Package-specific item data Depending on the item type, use the following sessions to specify package-specific item data: Sales Data Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000). For more information, refer to Sales item data Purchase Data Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000). For more information, refer to Purchase item data Production Data Items - Production (tiipd0101m000) Ordering Data Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000). For more information, refer to Item ordering data Costing Data Items - Costing (ticpr0107m000) Planning Data Items - Planning. For more information, refer to Plan items in Enterprise Planning Warehousing Data Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) Service Data Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000) Project Data Item - Project (tppdm0105s000) Freight Data Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000). For more information, refer to The use of items in Freight Management Tool Type Data Tool Types (titrp0101m000). For more information, refer to Defining tools For each package, you can also specify package-specific default item data in separate sessions. For example, default sales item data in the Items - Sales Defaults (tdisa0502m000) session and default ordering item data in the Items - Ordering Defaults (tcibd2501m000) session.
