Fields | Description
Item | The configurable item.
Default Source | The source that supplies an item by default. An item can be supplied by using purchase orders, production orders, assembly orders, or warehousing orders. The default supply source determines what type of order is used to supply the item, but in general, you can override the default and specify an alternate source. This field can be used to determine what type of supply order ERP LN must create if you enter a sales order for this item and the item's inventory on hand is not sufficient. The possible values are: Shop Floor The item is obtained by creating a production order. Assembly The item is obtained by creating an assembly order. Purchase The item is obtained by creating a purchase order. If the item type is Manufactured or Generic, this field can be Shop Floor or Assembly. If the item type is Engineering Module, this field is Assembly and cannot be changed. If the item type is Purchased, this field is Purchase and cannot be changed. Related topics Assembly items
Search Key | Search keys are used to retrieve items in various sessions.
BOM
BOM Quantity | Defines the number of manufactured items on which the item's bill of material is based. The BOM Quantity enables you to specify very small item quantities as bill of material components. Related topics BOM quantity
Scrap Factor % | Scrap can be defined as a percentage or as a fixed quantity. If scrap is defined as a percentage it is called the scrap factor. It is defined with the following formula:
    Gross requirement = (scrap factor/100% + 1) * net quantity
Related topics Scrap.
Scrap Quantity | The quantity used to anticipate the fixed loss of quantity in the manufacturing process of a product. A fixed quantity scrap is characterized by means of the following formula:
    Gross requirement = net quantity + scrap quantity
Related topics Scrap.
Specify Warehouse in BOM | If this check box is selected, and you use this item as a component in the BOM, you must specify the warehouse for this component item on the BOM line in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) details session. As a result, if a dependent demand explosion is performed, the component item is supplied by the warehouse on the BOM line. If this check box is cleared, and you use this item as a component in the BOM, you do not need to specify the warehouse for this component item on the BOM line. In case of a dependent demand explosion, the warehouse that is defined in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) details session supplies the component item.
Phantom | If this check box is selected, this item is a phantom. You can overrule the setting of this check box in the Phantom check box in the Bill of Material (tibom1110m000) session. Related topics Phantoms
Use Phantom Inventory | If this check box is selected, ERP LN checks if any phantom inventory is available. If the phantom item is available in inventory, and the quantity is sufficient, this inventory is used as component in the production order. If no phantom inventory is available, or the quantity is insufficient, the inventory is not used. ERP LN treats the component as a normal phantom item, so the phantom is exploded for the total quantity. Note The phantom stock is used in the Shop Floor Control (SFC) module, but is ignored in Enterprise Planning. Related topics Phantoms Link materials to operations
Issue Unlinked Materials At | If a material of a phantom item is not linked to a specific operation, this field determines the moment on which that material must be issued. This field is only relevant for the materials of phantom items. For other items, the setting of this field makes no difference. If this item is a material of a phantom and the item is not linked to a specific operation, this field has the following effect: First Operation of Operated Item This material must be issued at the time of the first operation of the operated item. First Operation of Production Order This material must be issued at the start of the production order. For a material's operated item, see the Operated Item field in the Estimated Materials (ticst0101m000) session. Performance aspects For performance reasons, it is recommended to set this field to First Operation of Production Order. For more information, refer to Material for multiple operations.

Routing
Order Lead Time | The production time of an item expressed in hours or days, based on the lead time elements as defined in the routing operations. The order lead time is determined when clicking Update Order Lead Time in this session.
Order Lead Time | Select Hours or Days as the time unit in which you want to express the order lead time.
Routing Unit | Quantity of the manufactured item on which the routing is based. This unit enables you to include very short operation times in the routing of an item.
Quantity-dependent Routing | If this check box is selected, ERP LN selects a particular routing by default. The selection depends on the order quantity. This means that the order quantity of an item affects the: Operation times. Work centers. Machines. Other routing-related data. Note This does not apply to generic items. Related topics Order quantity dependent routings Selection of routing to calculate costs
Subcontracting with Material Flow | No Help topic is associated with this item.
Methods
Derived from Item | The item from which the current item, in the Item field, is derived. If a standard item is copied to a customized item using the Copy Standard Product Structure to Customized Structure (tipcs2230m000) session, ERP LN displays the standard item code in the customized item's Derived from Item field.
Backflush Materials | If this check box is selected, you can backflush the material that is required to produce the item. Serialized items Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. In all other cases, serialized items cannot be backflushed. If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO), First In First Out (FIFO) ) as is defined in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. Related topics Backflushing Overview of serialized items
Backflush Hours | If this check box is selected, you can backflush the hours spent to manufacture the item to a backflush employee. Related topics Backflushing.
Backflush if Material | If this check box is selected, the item is backflushed when it is used as a component in the product structure of another item. Serialized items Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. In all other cases, serialized items cannot be backflushed. If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO), First In First Out (FIFO) ) as is defined in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session. Related topics Backflushing Overview of serialized items
Item Options
Critical for Inventory Check | If this check box is selected, you can check the availability of this item if used as material in a production order. These checks are performed in the following sessions: The Check Inventory (tiasc2240m000) session in the Assembly Control (ASC) module. The Print Material Shortages by Production Order (tisfc0419m000) session. Related topics Line sequencing and rule types in Assembly Control. Material shortage checking
Direct Initiate Inventory Issue | If this check box is selected, the warehouse order line for the material is automatically unblocked during production order release. Consequently, you do not need to run the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session to unblock the material. If this check box is cleared, and if the material is not backflushed, you must use the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session to unblock the material's warehouse order line. An unblocked warehouse order line serves as a signal for the warehouse employees to begin the warehouse outbound procedure, starting with an outbound advice for the material. The warehouse outbound procedure results in material sent to the shop floor. If the Direct Process Warehouse Order Line check box is selected for the material, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically. Related topics Overview of material issue
Direct Process Warehouse Order line | If this check box is selected, the warehouse outbound procedure is carried out automatically after materials have been unblocked in the warehouse. If this check box is cleared, and you unblock warehouse order lines using the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, the quantity to issue is added to the To Issue by Warehousing field in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) details session. You must manually carry out the remainder of the warehousing procedure. If you use the Initiate Inventory Issue (tisfc0207m000) session, warehouse order lines for the materials to issue are unblocked. You can also select the Direct Initiate Inventory Issue check box for the materials. In that case, warehouse order lines are automatically unblocked during production order release. Important! If the current item is to be a serialized item in inventory, that is, a low volume serialized item, you must clear this check box, otherwise the Serials in Inventory check box of the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is unavailable.

Net Change SFC | If this check box is selected, during the regenerative replanning process, a partial explosion and netting is made. ERP LN only replans the parts of scheduled SFC orders affected by the change in the bill of material and in the routing.
Item Production Text | If this check box is selected, the item production text is present.
Standard To Order Item | The item originates from a standard-to-order (STO) item. The bill of material and the routing are also derived from the original item.
Repetitive
Repetitive Item | RPT (repetitive) item. The item is an RPT (repetitive) item if: It is produced in relatively large quantities. It is subject to repetitive demand. The production is based on a rate. The production is controlled through schedules. The lead time is relatively short. Anonymous items as well as to-order items can be repetitive. However, only to-order items that are Standard-to-Order can be used in RPT schedules. You cannot use generic items or Engineer-to-Order items in an RPT schedule.
Schedule Code | A repetitive item is produced in large quantities and is subject to repetitive demand. The production of repetitive items is handled by schedules that have a schedule code. Note The schedule code is mandatory. Define schedule codes in the details session.
Rate Factor for Enterprise Planning | The percentage that indicates the productivity of a work center on an assembly line. A work center cannot be fully productive, for instance, if the people on the assembly line are not present. The rate factor for planning the estimated production rate per routing or a specific work center is calculated using this value. After the production rate is calculated for all operations, the operation with the lowest production rate is identified and the corresponding work center is the bottleneck work center. This value is used to indicate how many units of a repetitive item must be planned for one planned production order in Enterprise Planning. For quantity that exceeds the original planned production order, a new planned production order is generated on the same date as the original. Example Assume the rate of the work center is 80 pieces, and you receive a demand (such as a sales order) for 100 pieces. Enterprise Planning generates a planned purchase order for 80 pieces, and a second planned purchase order for 20 pieces, both with the same finish date. Remarks The rate percentage for planning must be greater than zero.
