Working with Item Status (WIST)
Purpose: Use the Work with Item Status Codes function to define an item status such as obsolete, discontinued, future ship or soldout, which you can then use for:
• selecting items for inventory inquiries and reports
• displaying message lines in Order Entry and Order Maintenance
• assigning a future arrival date
• controlling the display of the item
Assigning to an item: You use the Status field on the first Create Item Screen or Change Item screen to assign a status code to an item. If the item has SKUs, you can also assign a status to the individual SKUs. The SKU status overrides the status of the base item.
Future arrival date: You can default a future ship arrival date to an item in order entry through the Future Orders Item Status (E52) system control value. The date defaults from the Default Future Orders Arrival Date (E53) system control value.
Grouping items: The item status code is one of several types of codes you can use to define and group items. Other codes include department, item class, item category, long SKU class, and long SKU department. See Performing Initial Item Entry (MITM) for information on assigning these codes to items.
Preventing display at the Item Selection screen: The Item Selection screen does not list Items that are assigned to the Item Status for Suppressing Item During Item Selection (L21), provided the status is assigned at the item level rather than the SKU level.
Uploading: You can use the Submit Supporting Data Upload Screen (SDUP) to upload new item status codes. See Importing Item-Related Supporting Data (SDUP) for an overview.
