Related topics Engineering items Multiple Items per MPN If this check box is selected, multiple items can be linked to a combination of manufacturer part number (MPN) and manufacturer in the Items by MPN (tdipu0149m000) session. If this check box is cleared, only one item can be linked to a combination of MPN and manufacturer in the Manufacturer Part Numbers (tdipu0145m000) session. If you change this parameter, the following is applicable: If this check box was cleared and is now selected, for each record in the Manufacturer Part Numbers (tdipu0145m000) session a record is created in the Items by MPN (tdipu0149m000) session with the same MPN, manufacturer and item. The Item field in the Manufacturer Part Numbers (tdipu0145m000) session is made invisible.

Allowed values Option Purchase Order Unit of Measure The unit in which item dimensions are expressed on purchase orders. Note You can define the dimensions of the item in the Maintain Item Dimensions (tdpur4811s000) session if the Purchase Order Unit of Measure field has one of the following values: Length Area (m2) Volume When you enter a purchase order line for an item whose quantity is expressed in one of the above values, the Maintain Item Dimensions (tdpur4811s000) session is started automatically from the Ordered Quantity field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session. If you do not enter one of the above values in the Purchase Order Unit of Measure field, the Maintain Item Dimensions (tdpur4811s000) session is not started when you enter the Ordered Quantity field in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session. Default Item Code System The item code system you want LN to use when you enter new items. In Purchase Control, you can specify items in quotations, contracts, and orders by using an alternative item-code system. You can specify, for instance, the buy-from business partner's item code, or the EAN code. LN then converts this code to your own internal item code. Note LN uses a search sequence at the order level to see which item code system must be used: If a specific item code system is defined for the buy-from business partner in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session, LN uses this specific item code system. If no specific item code system is defined for the buy-from business partner in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session, LN uses the item code system that is defined in the current field. The item code system that you select in this field must be of the General type. Default Availability Type An indication of the type of activity for which a resource is available. With availability types, you can define multiple sets of working times for a single calendar.
