The Item Maintenance information can be accessed through these procedures:
RMS item creation allows you to create simple or complex items. Multifaceted items are created by defining each variation of the item as an Item Level. A diff allows you to distinguish an item by characteristic. For items that do vary, you can use diffs to create up to three levels of an item.
Up to 30 different diff types can be created in RMS. Examples of diff types are color, size, flavor or pattern. By tracking information based on diffs you are able to identify which variety of an item has the best rate of sale, expedite ordering and transferring goods, and generate detailed reports.
Diff ratios are used to designate the quantity of each diff that should be fulfilled as a percentage of the total diff quantity. You are able to view and edit the results of a diff ratio that has been calculated by a batch program, base a store's diff ratios on those for another store, and you edit the quantity for each diff or diff combination. See the following related topics for more information:
To view diffs:
Navigate: From the main menu, select Items > Diffs > Diff IDs > View. The Diff ID Maintenance window appears.
To view a subset of the diffs, in the Filter area select the type of diff in the Diff Type field.
Click the Filter button. The diffs that match the filter criterion appear.
To view all the diffs, click the clear filter button.
Click OK to close the window.

Click OK to save your changes and close the window.
The Diff Group Maintenance window allows you to add, edit, and view diff groups. You can access a detail window in order to add, edit, or view the diffs that are members of the group. Diff groups are used to simplify associating RMS items with multiple diff IDs. To view a subset of the diff groups, you can filter the diff groups by type or code.
When you create a diff group, you can assign diff groups to levels of the merchandise or organization hierarchy. You can only assign the levels of merchandise and organization hierarchy that your user group is associated to. All levels below the hierarchy level assigned are also enabled for the user groups. Users whose security settings allow them access to the same hierarchy levels can use this diff group throughout RMS. If you do not assign a merchandise or organization level all users are able to use this diff group throughout the system.

Items can be grouped into a one, two, or three level hierarchy. The naming conventions for the three item levels may vary by organization, but they are referred to here as item levels 1, 2, and 3. All item hierarchies begin at item level 1. After creating a level 1 item, you can create level 2 items for the item. If a third level is desired, you can select a level 2 item and create level 3 items.
There are several different types of items you can create in RMS:
Regular items
Deposit items
Packs
Concession items
Consignment items
Transformable items
This section describes the regular items.
An item group is an item hierarchy in which an item is broken into levels. The entire set of items (level 1 - 3) is an item group. The item is broken down in to factors which allow it to be distinguished from the more generic item.
After you have defined the item structure, you must add a supplier to the item, determine item cost, and assign the item to a location.
A differentiatior (diff) is a characteristic that can be used to make items distinct from one another. You can add levels to an item group if you identify a set of diffs or diff groups. Each unique diff or combination of diffs creates a new level in the item group. If you choose not to use diffs, you can manually create item levels.
Once you have selected the diffs, you can create all of the items for that item level, through RMS.
A deposit item is an item that has a portion which is returnable by the customer after it has been sold to the customer. A deposit is taken from the customer for the returnable portion. A deposit item is broken into the components of the item, and each item is track separately in RMS.
Deposit Contents Item: The item that is sold to the customer.
Deposit Container Item: The item for which the deposit is taken. The deposit container item holds the deposit contents item.
Deposit Crate Item: The item which holds the container and contents items.
Deposit Returned Item: The item that is returned to the retailer by the customer and for which the deposit is returned to the customer.
Deposit items can be maintained as a complex pack or a single item. Maintaining the deposit items as a complex pack ensures the appropriate components are grouped together and facilitates ordering. If you maintain the deposit items individually, you must associate the item with the appropriate container item.
A pack is way of tracking multiple items under one item number. The Pack Item Overview contains additional information on simple and complex packs.
This section describes the concession and consignment items.
A consignment item is a marketing arrangement where physical control of merchandise, but not the title of ownership is transferred from one business, the consignor (the supplier) to another, the consignee, (the retailer). The title to the goods remains with the consignor until the goods are sold. Upon sale of the goods, the consignor bills the consignee through an invoice.
A concession item is similar to a consignment item in that the retailer does not own the inventory being sold. Concession items differ from consignment in that the ownership is not transferred when the items are sold. A retailer rents floor space to a supplier on which the supplier sells their goods. A record of concession sales is recorded and the retailer then bills the supplier using their chosen method.
A transformable item is an item that can be ordered as one item and the broken into smaller items. The smaller items can them be resold in the store. There are two types of transformable items:
Transformed Orderable: The item is ordered from the supplier in one form, but changed by the retail and sold to the customer in a different form.
Transformed Sellable: The item that is sold to the customer. A transformed sellable item is from the supplier in a different form than it is sold.
The Create Like Item window allows you to copy the details from an existing item to a new item. If the existing item is at item level 1, you are creating an new level 1 item. If the existing item is at item level 2 or 3, the item you create is a member of the same item group.

See "View an Item" in the Foundation Data chapter
Electronic data interchange (EDI) provides a standardized method for retailers and suppliers to transmit business documents electronically. EDI translation programs convert outgoing and incoming files to the appropriate flat file or EDI format.
The following EDI transaction sets can be processed by RMS:
832 - Price/sales catalogue: New and updated item/cost information received from the supplier.
838 - Trading partner profile: Store and warehouse addresses are sent to the supplier. Addresses are received from the supplier.
846 - Inventory Inquiry/Advice: Supplier availability details are received from the supplier.
850 - Purchase order: Purchase orders and contracts are sent to the supplier.
852 - Product activity data: Store sales and inventory information is sent to the supplier.
855 - Purchase order acknowledgement: Purchase order acknowledgements and changes are received from the supplier.
856 - Ship notice/manifest: Advance shipping notices (ASN) are received from the supplier.
860 - Purchase order change request - buyer initiated: Modified purchase orders are sent to the supplier.
879 - Price information: Cost changes pertaining to items are received from the supplier.
888 - Item maintenance: New and updated item details are received from the supplier.
To begin using EDI functionality, some preliminary setup is required. You must indicate which EDI transactions are supported by a supplier. If the supplier requests product activity data, you can indicate whether the data should be transmitted on a daily or a weekly basis.
You should also indicate the variance allowed for cost changes by monetary amount and by percentage. Cost changes received from the supplier that are within the tolerated range are automatically approved by the system after you accept the changes. In vendor managed inventory (VMI) situations, you can indicate whether orders received from the supplier are automatically approved or remain in Worksheet status.
As you create and revise purchase orders and contracts, you can indicate whether to transmit approved transactions. If you have access to Oracle Retail Invoice Matching, you can also indicate whether to transmit approved debit memos, credit memos, and credit note requests.
When item details and cost changes are received from suppliers, you must review and accept them before the item catalog can be updated and a cost change event can be created. Rejected items and cost changes are held in the system for a predefined number of days.
The system administrator may set the following system variables for EDI transactions:
Request an EDI-compliant catalog of store and warehouse addresses be transmitted to suppliers.
Indicate whether supplier-provided costs may be overridden by the application of deals, brackets, and allowances to unit costs on purchase orders.
Set the retention period, in days, for 1) revisions/versions of completed and cancelled purchase orders, 2) rejected items, and 3) rejected cost changes. When the records exceed the retention periods, they are automatically purged by regularly scheduled batch programs.
Set the number of days that product activity data must be held on a temporary table before the report is transmitted to suppliers.
The New Item window allows you to enter additional details before a new item or case can be added to the system. Cases are processed as simple packs. The preliminary information is received from the supplier through an electronic data interchange (EDI) transmission.

Seasons and phases have two functions:
Reporting and tracking
Replenishment
You can add seasons and phases to items and pack items. You can then create custom reports to track the movement of items with specific seasons and phases.
Seasons and phases are also used for forecasted items with a replenishment method of Time Supply - Seasonal and Dynamic - Seasonal. The items are on replenishment during the dates of the selected season and phase. The seasons and phases associated with the item for reporting and tracking purposes have no impact on the seasons and phases used in replenishing the item.
When you create a season and phase, you can assign the season to levels of the merchandise or organization hierarchy. You can only assign the levels of merchandise and organization hierarchy that your user group is associated to. All levels below the hierarchy level assigned are also enabled for the user groups. Users whose security settings allow them access to the same hierarchy levels can use this season throughout RMS. If you do not assign a merchandise or organization level all users are able to use this season throughout the system.

The status of various requests are tracked through their respective process IDs through the Item Induction Process Tracker window. If there are other requests being processed, then the newly submitted request are assigned a status In Queue until it is picked up for processing. Once the request is picked up the status of the request is updated to Processing. Once the processing is completed, then the process status for those requests is updated to Processed Successfully, if no processing errors are noted.
If there are any errors in uploading the spreadsheet data, then the status of the process is set to Processed with Errors. You can either download a copy of the data from the staging area or use the original file that was uploaded to make data corrections. Once the errors are corrected the file can be re-uploaded as a fresh upload request. You can either delete the processes that are in Processed with Errors status or they will be purged by the purge batch after a set retention days. During deletion of any process, the data linked to the process in staging tables are also deleted. In cases where the items are uploaded to RMS, but has failed one or more approval linked validations the error can be fixed by accessing the item in RMS through the Item Detail button on the Item - Induction Issues View window.
The process IDs that were uploaded to the staging tables successfully (Processed Successfully status) can be further uploaded to RMS through the Upload to RMS button on the Item Induction Process Tracker window. A process that is submitted for upload into RMS from the Item Induction Process Tracker window is subject to the queuing and processing in a manner similar to a fresh request, except that the status changes are updated against the existing process ID. The data linked to any of the process IDs in the staging area can be downloaded for data enrichment through the Download Staged button on the Item Induction Process Tracker window.
The Item Induction Process through spreadsheet integration offers RMS users increased flexibility to import and update item data. It extends the process of Item Induction to allow for creation of child items using differentiators (diffs).

Item reclassification allows you to move an item or item list from one department/class/subclass to another. You can reclassify an item or a list of items.
You determine which item or item list is to be reclassified, under which department, class, subclass, and the effective date. A batch process reclassifies those items whose effective date is the next day.
When items are moved from one department, class, and subclass combination to another, several other modules can be affected.
Sales history: A reclassification event does not rebuild sales history automatically. A reclassification does not affect previously recorded sales history. RMS maintains three levels of rolled up sales history: department, class, and subclass. Optional batch programs are available that can be used to rebuild the rolled up sales history.
Stock ledger: Stock ledger transactions are written to move the inventory amount associated with an item from the old department, class, and subclass to the new. Existing stock ledger transactions are not updated to reflect the hierarchy change.
Open to buy: Open to buy (OTB) records are updated for all orders that are approved, but have not yet been received.
Forecasts: If the reclassified item is forecastable and the new hierarchy values move the item to a new forecast domain, then an indicator is reset for the item at the item/store level. This change indicates to the program responsible for extracting sales history that the next time sales history is extracted from RMS for that item and store combination, all sales history should be extracted. Normally, only the sales history that occurred since the last data export is extracted.
The following edit checks are performed as you set up a reclassification event. The event cannot be created if:
The item exists in another reclassification event.
The item is in a consignment department, but the new department is not a consignment department. Likewise, if the item is in a department that is not a consignment department, but the new department is a consignment department.
One or more items on the reclassification event exist on approved partially received orders.
Other edit checks that can cause a reclassification event to fail also occur during the batch processing of the event. A reclassification cannot occur if:
The item is on a Unit and Value stock count. The items to be counted have already been determined based on the department, class, and subclass specified when the stock count was created. The stock count is scheduled after the effective date of the reclassification event.
The item is forecastable, but the new hierarchy values with which the item is associated do not have an associated forecast domain.
The new department, class, and subclass contain a required user defined attribute that must be entered at the item level.
The new department, class, and subclass contain a user defined attribute that defaults at the item level, but the item does not have this UDA defined.
