Entering Item Master Records
Access the Item Master Revisions form.
- G/L Class (general ledger class)
Enter a value from user-defined code (UDC) table 41/9 (G/L Posting Category) that identifies the general ledger offset that the system uses when it searches for the account to which it posts the transaction.
If you do not want to specify a class code, you can enter **** (four asterisks) in this field.
You can use automatic accounting instructions (AAIs) to predefine classes of automatic offset accounts for:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management.
Here are some examples of general ledger class codes that you might assign:
IN20: Direct Ship Orders
IN60: Transfer Orders
IN80: Stock Sales
The system can generate accounting entries based upon a single transaction. For example, a single sale of a stock item can initiate the generation of accounting entries similar to these:
Sales-Stock (Debit) xxxxx.xx.
A/R Stock Sales (Credit) xxxxx.xx.
Posting Category: IN80.
Stock Inventory (Debit) xxxxx.xx.
Stock COGS (Credit) xxxxx.xx.
The system uses the class code and the document type to find the AAI.
- Line Type
Enter a code that controls how the system processes lines on a transaction.
The line type controls the systems with which the transaction interfaces, such as these:
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Ledger.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable.
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management.
The line type also specifies the conditions under which a line prints on reports, and it is included in calculations. Values include:
S: Stock item
J: Job cost
N: Nonstock item
F: Freight
T: Text information
M: Miscellaneous charges and credits
W: Work order
You should select a line type according to the stocking method for the part. For example, if you are creating a master for a pseudo-nonstock item (one for which you do not want to maintain physical on-hand quantity but that you want to track as an inventory item), select a line type that interfaces with inventory.
Line type N has special logic that the system uses to process parts that are truly nonstock and for which you do not maintain inventory master information.
You must complete these fields for each maintenance part that needs a master record.
To use parts planning functions in CAM, you must enter a value in at least one of these fields for each part:
Planner Number
Buyer Number
Master Planning Family
The Planner Number and Buyer Number fields are located on the Item Master form, as well as on the Item/Branch Plant Info. form. The Master Planning Family field is located on the Category Codes form.
