Item Master (SP) application

You use the Item Master (SP) application to define items that will be stocked in your storerooms. You group these items in an item set, which can then be shared by the organizations using that item set.

When you create an item record, you define the main attributes of the item (such as commodity codes, order and issue units, whether the item is lotted, rotating, or condition-enabled), along with any alternate items that you can use in its place and a list of the condition codes you want applied to the item.

You also can use this application to perform the following tasks for each item:

create condition-enabled items to track the value of an item as its condition changes.
specify the safety hazards and tax codes that vary by organization.
create item kits, which are collections of items that you issue as a single unit.
add the item to one or more storerooms.
define other information related to the item, such as vendors that carry the item, specifications for the item, and other parts needed to build the item (item assembly structure).
attach outside documents that relate to the item.

You can associate customers with items to ensure that the item records are restricted to the users who have been given permission to access a particular customer's data.

The Item Master (SP) application contains the following tabs:

List: to search for item records.

Item: to add and manage items, alternate items, and their condition codes.

Storerooms: to view a read-only list of information about storerooms that stock the item.

Vendors: to add, view, modify, or delete information about vendors that carry the item.

Specifications: to classify an item and add, view, modify, or delete specifications that provide details about the item, such as size, speed, or material.

Item Assembly Structure: to create, view, modify, or delete the list of parts that are used to build the item.
