An inventory item number. The system provides three separate item numbers plus an extensive cross-reference capability to other item
numbers (see data item XRT) to accommodate substitute item numbers, replacements, bar codes, customer numbers, supplier numbers, and
so forth. The item numbers are as follows:
o Item Number (short) - An eight-digit, computer-assigned item number
o 2nd Item Number - The
25-digit, free-form, user defined alphanumeric item number
o 3rd Item Number - Another 25-digit, free-form, user defined alphanumeric item

A code that represents a high-level business unit. Use this code to refer to a branch or plant that might have departments or jobs, which
represent lower-level business units, subordinate to it. For example:
o Branch/Plant (MMCU)
o Dept A (MCU)
o Dept B (MCU)
o Job 123
(MCU)
Business unit security is based on the higher-level business unit. |
A user defined code (41/9) that identifies the G/L offset that system uses when it searches for the account to which it posts the transaction. If
you do not want to specify a class code, you can enter **** (four asterisks) in this field.
You can use automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) to
predefine classes of automatic offset accounts for the Inventory Management, Procurement, and Sales Order Management systems. You
might assign G/L class codes as follows:
IN20 Direct Ship Orders
IN60 Transfer Orders
IN80 Stock Sales
The system can generate
accounting entries based upon a single transaction. For example, a single sale of a stock item can trigger the generation of accounting entries
similar to the following:
Sales-Stock (Debit) xxxxx.xx
A/R Stock Sales (Credit) xxxxx.xx
Posting Category: IN80
Stock Inventory
(Debit) xxxxx.xx
Stock COGS (Credit) xxxxx.xx
The system uses the class code and the document type to find the AAI. |
