Setting Up Item Information

Access the Item Master Revisions form.

When you enter a new item, first you must enter information that identifies the item. Next, you must enter an item description and the text. The item description and text represent the information upon which you are most likely to search when trying to locate the item. Each item can have up to three identifiers that you use to locate the item. These identifiers can represent universal product codes (UPCs), bar codes, supplier numbers, or a user-defined value.

Item processing information consists of values that control how the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management system processes the item. These values pertain to stocking, packaging, accounting transactions, system interfaces, and so on.

Note: You can also translate item descriptions and search text into multiple languages to locate items using alternate languages. The system administrator can make descriptions in other languages available based on user profiles.

If you revise the second and third item identifiers, the program can transfer these changes to other selected files, depending on how you activate the related processing option.

You can also specify the persons or businesses that are responsible for the item, including the buyers, planners, and preferred carriers. Before you can assign responsible persons or businesses to an item, each person and business must have an address book number in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system.
