Item Types

You perform standard item entry to define these three items for container management:

  • Empty containers.

  • Full containers.

  • Product, which can be a packaged item or, if you have installed the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Bulk Stock Inventory system, a bulk item.

You use the Item Master program to enter item information, such as the item number and description, price and costing methods, and availability and commitment rules. You also enter the line types for full and empty containers that you set up on the Order Line Type form.

When you define container units of measure, you should set up empty containers with a weight close to zero (for example, 1 EA = 0.00002 LT or 0.00002 KG) so that the system will not factor in the weight of the container during unit of measure conversion to determine the price of the full container.

If you have installed the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Bulk Stock Inventory system, you can set up bulk items, tanks, and default tank information.

You follow the normal procedures for setting up a tank using the Tank Master Maintenance and Default Tank Information Revision forms. You do this to specify structural information about the tanks that are used to store the bulk product. The system retrieves this information when processing transactions to calculate volume.
