4. Select the Main alternative region.

5. In the Parameters region, enter a project/Seiban number and, if appropriate, a task reference.

Assigning Items to a Subinventory

Defining Stock Locators

See: Defining Subinventories for defining additional subinventory parameters.

To define project information in item attributes:

1. Navigate to the Master Item window.

2. Choose the MPS/MRP Planning alternative region.

3. Select a pegging level:

Soft Pegging	The planning process will allocate supply for a project-task (or Seiban) to demand for the project-task (or Seiban), according to the Reservation Level set in the plan level options.
All reservations of supply to demand records is for a single item. Common, nonproject supply is used to satisfy project demand. For a soft pegged item, excess project supply (or common supply) is always available to another project's demand.
No project references will be attached to planned orders issued to soft pegged items.
You can also generate a graphical pegging display in a nonproject environment, for plans with pegging enabled.
End Assembly Pegging	Also known as Where Used, this option traces the end assembly the item is pegged to at the top of the bill of material. Even if you do not select end assembly pegging, you can still calculate and view end assemblies on-line.
You can also generate a graphical pegging display in a nonproject environment, for plans with pegging enabled.
End Assembly/ Soft Pegging	Choose this option for both soft pegging and end assembly pegging.
You can also generate a pegging display in a nonproject environment, for plans with full pegging enabled.
Hard Pegging	The planning process will allocate supply for a project-task (or Seiban) to demand for the project-task (or Seiban), according to the Reservation Level set in the plan level options.
A hard pegged item will not have access to common, nonproject supply. Excess supply from one project can only be shared among projects in the same planning group, provided reservation level is set at planning group.
Project references are attached to planned orders for hard pegged items.
You can also generate a graphical pegging display in a project environment, for plans with full pegging enabled.
End Assembly/ Hard Pegging	Choose this option for both hard pegging and end assembly pegging.
You can also generate a graphical pegging display in a project environment, for plans with full pegging enabled.
None	This option disables project material allocation, end assembly pegging, and graphics in full pegging.

See: Defining Items for defining additional item attributes. See: Viewing Pegged Supply and Demand for information on full pegging.
