Inventory Date A date that is assigned to items when they are stored. You can use inventory dates to retrieve items based on FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO (Last In First Out), without carrying out extensive lot control. The meaning of the inventory date is connected to the outbound priority of LIFO, FIFO, or the product expiry date of the item. With outbound priority LIFO or FIFO, the default for the inventory date is the system date; however, you can overwrite this so that the inventory date does not have to be equal to the storage date. If the item has a particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined for the item. Package Definition A particular configuration of items and their packaging. A package definition for an item can, for example, be the following: a pallet contains 12 boxes and each box contains 4 pieces. Level The package definition level of the item.

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. Serial A physical occurrence of a standard item that is given a unique lifetime serial number. This enables tracking of the individual item throughout its lifetime, for example, through the design, production, testing, installation, and maintenance phases. A serialized item can consist of other serialized components. Examples of serialized items are cars (Vehicle Identification Number), airplanes (tail numbers), PCs, and other electronic equipment (serial numbers). Handling Unit A uniquely identifiable physical unit that consists of packaging and contents. A handling unit can contain items registered in Warehousing and other handling units. A handling unit has a structure of packaging materials used to pack items, or is a part of such a structure. A handling unit includes the following attributes: Identification code Packaging item (optional) Quantity of packaging items (optional) If you link an item to a handling unit, the item is packed by means of the handling unit. The packaging item refers to the type of container or other packing material of which the handling unit consists. For example, by defining a packaging item such as Wooden Crate for a handling unit, you specify that the handling unit is a wooden crate. Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. Proposed Location The location created in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session or the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. Before you copy the warehouse and the item data to the current session using the Change Location System by Warehouse (whwmd3205m000) session, for the current warehouse, you can define locations in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session or the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. When you copy the warehouse and item data to the current session, ERP Enterprise assigns one default location to each type of item; the default location is displayed in this field.

The location inserted in this field overwrites the location present in the Proposed Location field when you actualize the location and inventory information.

When you save or actualize the inventory information in the current session, the manually entered location is generated in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session. The default location type is Bulk. Note that the location is not removed from the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session. If you do not specify a location for a line, that is, no location is present in the Proposed Location field or this field, the item or the quantity of the item specified on the line is stored in the warehouse without reference to a location.
