Item Defining Attributes

An item defining attribute identifies the nature of an item. What designates an item as an "engineering item" is the attribute Engineering Item, but what controls the functionality of the item are the collection of attributes that describe it. You can buy an engineering item if you want to; simply set Engineering Item, Purchased, and Purchasable to Yes.

The item defining attributes are:

Functional Area Item Defining Attribute
Oracle Inventory Inventory Item
Oracle Purchasing Purchased, or Internal Ordered Item
Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and Oracle Supply Chain Planning MRP Planning Method
Oracle Cost Management Costing Enabled
Oracle Engineering Engineering Item
Oracle Order Entry Customer Ordered Item
Oracle Service Support Service, or Serviceable Product

When you set an item defining attribute to Yes, the item is automatically assigned to the default category set of the corresponding functional area. For example, if you set Inventory Item to Yes, the item is automatically assigned to the default category set for the Inventory functional area.
