Item Statuses

You can manage an item's status for all related records. The system uses a set of inheritance rules to apply changes to an item from a higher level to a lower level. In the Item Master (SP) application, a change to an item status is applied to the organization and inventory level. From the organization level, a status change is applied to the inventory level.

The following status types are available:

• Pending – Items are not available to the system when you attempt to record selected General Ledger (GL) transactions. Items in Pending status are not visible from Item Lookups. This status applies to the following GL transactions:

• Material Use Transactions (MATUSETRANS)

• Material Receipts Transactions (MATRECTRANS)

• Inventory Transactions (INVTRANS) except for Insert Item (INSERTITEM)

• Planning – Items are not available to the system when you attempt to record selected GL transaction. This status applies to the following GL transactions:  

• MATUSETRANS

• MATRECTRANS (Issue, Transfer, or Receipt types, only)

• Active – These items are available without any restrictions.

• Pending Obsolescence – You can use any existing items,  but cannot replenish existing balances.

• Obsolete – You cannot use these items in the system, except to generate invoices and for historical purposes. Items in Obsolete status are not visible from Item Lookups.
