Field

Description

Class

A code to identify a group of items. Item class codes are used as a high- level method to sort inventory, define information templates at the item class level, assign city/state restrictions, apply promotion discounts, and assign customer class restrictions, and are defined in and validated against the Item Class file; see Chapter 5: Working with Item Classes (WICL).

Alphanumeric, 3 positions; optional.

Item Status

A code that represents an item's status, such as obsolete, discontinued, etc. You can define this code at the item or the SKU level. Item status codes are defined in and validated against the Item Status file; see Chapter 7: Working with Item Status (WIST).

The description of the item. You can enter any portion of the description.

The status might differ at the item and SKU level if, for example, you discontinue the "Green" SKU for the base item "Sweater." All other SKUs will have the status you defined at the base item level, but you assign the green sweater a discontinued SKU status in addition to the defined item status. This SKU status now overrides the base item status throughout the system.

SKU status codes are defined in and validated against the Item Status file; see Chapter 7: Working with Item Status (WIST).

Alphanumeric, 1 position; optional.

SKU description

The description of the SKU. You can enter any portion of the description.

You might assign a compatibility code of IBM, for example, to all IBM products such as a PC, printer, tape drive, etc., to indicate that these items work together. The compatibility code is a user-defined code that is not validated by the system.

Alphanumeric, 3 positions; optional.

Category

A category assigned to the item to classify and group similar items. The Item Category is a level below the Item Class. Validated against the Item Category file; see Chapter 4: Working with Item Category Codes (WITG).

P = Primary. The primary, or main location where the item is picked. The system does not delete a primary item/location record when the on-hand quantity equals zero.

S = Secondary. Typically, you would use a secondary location for storage when the primary location is full. The system allocates from a secondary location when the total order quantity cannot be filled from the primary location. The system allocates from both the primary and secondary locations when neither location contains enough stock to fulfill the entire order. You can use secondary locations to replenish primary locations.

B = Bulk. Typically, you would use a bulk location to store unbroken lots or cartons. Bulk locations serve as the replenishment source for primary locations.

 

T = Temporary. Typically, you would use a temporary location to place merchandise that you want recognized as received before you have assigned a permanent location. A temporary location cannot exist without at least one item/location record associated with it. When stock is moved into a temporary location, the system creates an item/location record. When the on-hand in the item/location reaches zero, the system will delete the location and the item/location record. Note: CWDirect will not allocate merchandise from a temporary location even if the location is defined as pickable. In order to allocate stock, you must move the merchandise to a non-temporary, pickable location.

Shelf: Identifies the location's shelf number within the aisle.
