You can enable an item for each functional area by using that functional area's item defining attribute. An item defining attribute identifies the nature of an item. For example, what designates an item as an "engineering item" is the attribute Engineering Item. If a functional area's item defining attribute is controlled at the Organization level, then that functional area may only have an Organization level default category set.
You set the item defining attribute when you define the item. The item defining attributes are:
Functional Area | Item Defining Attribute | Enabling Value |
---|---|---|
Inventory | Inventory Item | Yes |
Purchasing | Purchased | Yes |
Internal Ordered Item | Yes | |
Master Scheduling/ MRP | MRP Planning Method | MRP Planning, MPS Planning |
Cost Management | Costing Enabled | Yes |
Engineering | Engineering Item | Yes |
Order Entry | Customer Ordered Item | Yes |
Service | Support Service, or | Yes |
Serviceable Product | Yes | |
Product Line Accounting | none | n/a |
You may change a functional area's default category set under certain conditions. You should ensure that every item within the functional area belongs to the new default category set (which replaces the existing default category set). If the item defining attribute of the functional area is controlled at the Organization level then the new default category set should also be controlled at the Organization level.
