Item · Work Definition

How it is built: the bill of material and routing it is built against, the lot sizes, the yield and how components are consumed.

List · 10 columns · 19 fields on its form · 1 of them required

What the list shows

Until	Date	`effective_to`

The form

What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.

Field	Type	Choices	Notes
Item required	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Applies in	Choice	Looked up from existing records	Leave empty and it applies company-wide. Choose a business unit and it overrides the company-wide row there — which is how one item behaves differently in two plants.
Manufacturable	Yes or no
Build type	Choice	standard, process, repetitive, project, configured, repair
Default bill of material	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Default routing	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Work center	Choice	Looked up from existing records
Standard lot size	Number
Minimum lot size	Number
Maximum lot size	Number
Yield %	Number
Scrap %	Number
Component supply	Choice	push, pull, operation_pull, bulk, phantom, supplier
Backflush components	Yes or no
Completion needs inspection	Yes or no
Setup hours	Number
Run hours per unit	Number
In force from	Date		The date this version of the row takes effect. Leave it as today unless you are dating a change ahead.
Until	Date		Leave empty for open-ended. Setting it ends this version rather than deleting it.

The rules that apply here

Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:

Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
