You can issue a component in more than one way within a specific branch/plant by using different
codes on the bill of material and the work order parts list. The bill of material code overrides the branch/plant value. |
szInventoryPricingRule | PRGR | char | NONE | NONE |
A user defined code (system 40/type PI) that identifies an inventory price group for an item.
Inventory price groups have unique pricing
structures that direct the system to incorporate discounts or markups on items on sales and purchase orders. The discounts or markups are
based on the quantity, dollar amount, or weight of the item ordered. When you assign a price group to an item, the item takes on the same pricing
structure defined for the inventory price group.
You must assign an inventory price group to the supplier or customer, as well as to the item, for
the system to interactively calculate discounts and markups on sales orders and purchase orders. |
szRepriceRule | RPRC | char | NONE | NONE |
You can assign items with common repricing characteristics to a reprice category on Item Branch/Plant Revisions. You can define different
categories based on location. Repricing is a technique that the system uses to:
o Accumulate items on order that belong to a common
repricing category during a batch program
o Compare the aggregate quantities of items on order to the appropriate quantity breaks in the
reprice category
If the items qualify for an additional discount, that discount is reflected as a change in unit and extended price for each
qualifying item in the original order line. |
szOrderRepriceRule | ORPR | char | NONE | NONE |
Items with common order repricing characteristics are assigned to an order reprice category on the Item Master Revisions screen.
Categories can be varied at the Location level (fold area). Order repricing is a technique in which items within an order that belong to the same
repricing category are accumulated during a batch program and their aggregate quantities are compared to the appropriate quantity "breaks" in
the reprice category. Typical quantity breaks in this situation might be the total weight or the total dollar value of the order as whole. If the
items qualify for additional discount, that discount is reflected as a flat dollar amount in a new discount line. This facility supplements the repricing
function and operates in the same batch program. |
szShippingConditionsCode | SHCN | char | NONE | NONE |
A code (table 41/C) that represents an item property type or classification,such as special shipping conditions. The system uses this code
to sort and process like items.
This field is one of three classification categories available primarily for inventory and shipping purposes. |
szShippingCommodityClass | SHCM | char | NONE | NONE |
A user defined code (41/E) that represents an item property type or classification (for example, international shipment handling). The
system uses this code to sort and process similar items. This field is one of three classification categories available primarily for inventory and
shipping purposes.
|
szCycleCountCategory | CYCL | char | NONE | NONE |
A code (table 41/8) that represents the family or cycle in which an item is counted. Cycle counting means that you count different inventory
items at different times. Cycle codes commonly represent item values, item locations, time frames, or product groups. |
cBackordersAllowed | BACK | char | NONE | NONE |
An option that specifies whether to allow backorders for this item. You can allow backorders by item using the Item Master (P4101) or Item
Branch/Plant (P41026) programs, by customer using the Customer Billing Instructions program (P03013), or by branch/plant using the
Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001). Valid values are:

operation during holiday periods, and special delivery instructions. |
cABCCode1 | ABCS | char | NONE | NONE |
A code that specifies this item's ABC ranking by sales amount.
Valid values are:
A Assign this item to the first (largest) amount ranking
B
Assign this item to the second (intermediate) amount ranking
C Assign this item to the third (smallest) amount ranking
D Do not include this
item when you run ABC Analysis There are three types of ABC analysis-sales, margin, and on-hand value. Within each type of analysis, you
can have three groups-A, B, and C.
The ABC Code fields contain a percentage that tells the system how to define the A, B, and C groups for
categorizing items during ABC analysis. Each group measures a total within the type of analysis.
For all groups, the system compares the
appropriate sales, margin, or on-hand value totals of a single item to the appropriate total for all items and calculates the value of each item. An
item's value is its percentage of the appropriate total. The system then arranges the values of all items from highest to lowest value and
accumulates the percentages. What happens next depends on the group:
A group: If an item's value causes the accumulated total to exceed the
A accumulated percentage, the system assigns the item to the B group.
B group: When the accumulated total reaches the percentage you
entered for items in the A group, it continues adding values until it reaches the percentage you entered for items in the B group. The system
assigns all items whose value falls between the A and B percentages to the B group.
C group: The C group consists of items whose
accumulated value exceeds the B percentage. The percentage that you usually enter for the C group is .999. |
cABCCode2 | ABCM | char | NONE | NONE |
Code indicating this item's ABC ranking by margin amount. Valid values are:
A Assign this item to the first amount ranking
B Assign this
item to the second amount ranking
C Assign this item to the third amount ranking
D Skip this item in the ABC Analysis There are three types of
ABC analysis--sales, margin, and on-hand value.
Within each type of analysis, you can have three groups--A, B, and C.
The ABC Code fields
contain a percentage that tells the system how to define the A, B, and C groups for categorizing items during ABC analysis. Each group
measures a total within the type of analysis.
For all groups, the system compares the appropriate sales, margin, or on-hand value totals of a
single item to the appropriate total for all items and calculates the value of each item. An item's value is its percentage of the appropriate total.
The system then arranges the values of all items from highest value to lowest value and accumulates the percentages. What happens next
depends on the group:
A group: When the accumulated total reaches the percentage you entered, the system assigns the items whose values
are included in the A group. If an item's value causes the total to exceed the A accumulated percentage, the system assigns the item to the B
group.
B group: When the accumulated total reaches the percentage you entered, the system assigns the items whose values are
included in the A group. If an item's value causes the total to exceed the A accumulated percentage, the system assigns the item to the B group.
C
group: The C group consists of items whose accumulated value exceeds the B percentage. The percentage that you usually enter for the C
group is .999. |
cABCCode3 | ABCI | char | NONE | NONE |
Code indicating this item's ABC ranking by investment in inventory. Valid values are:
A Assign this item to the first amount ranking
B
Assign this item to the second amount ranking
C Assign this item to the third amount ranking
D Skip this item in the ABC Analysis There are three
types of ABC analysis--sales, margin, and on-hand value.
Within each type of analysis, you can have three groups--A, B, and C.
The ABC
Code fields contain a percentage that tells the system how to define the A, B, and C groups for categorizing items during ABC analysis. Each
group measures a total within the type of analysis.
For all groups, the system compares the appropriate sales, margin, or on-hand value totals
of a single item to the appropriate total for all items and calculates the value of each item. An item's value is its percentage of the appropriate
total. The system then arranges the values of all items from highest value to lowest value and accumulates the percentages. What
happens next depends on the group:
A group: When the accumulated total reaches the percentage you entered, the system assigns the items
whose values are included in the A group. If an item's value causes the total to exceed the A accumulated percentage, the system assigns the
item to the B group.
B group: When the accumulated total reaches the percentage you entered for items in the A group, it continues adding
values until it reaches the percentage you entered for items in the B group. The system assigns all items whose value falls between the A and
B percentages to the B group.
C group: The C group consists of items whose accumulated value exceeds the B percentage. The
percentage that you usually enter for the C group is .999. |
cABCOverrideIndicator | OVR | char | NONE | NONE |
Maintained automatically by the program, a value here indicates that one or more aspects of an individual item's ABC classification has
been changed by a user from the codes generated by the ABC analysis program. |
