Display
These processing options specify whether the system displays certain types of information, such as category codes, stocking type, and costs, and whether you can change the cost information.
- 1. Category Code 1
Enter a value from UDC (41/P1) that specifies the commodity class for which you want to review information. An asterisk specifies all codes. The system retrieves category code information from the F4102 table.
This code represents an item property type or classification, such as commodity type or planning family. The system uses this code to sort and process similar items.
This field is one of six classification categories that are available primarily for purchasing purposes.
- 2. Category Code 2
Enter a value from UDC (41/P1) that specifies the commodity class for which you want to review information. An asterisk specifies all codes. The system retrieves category code information from the F4102 table.
This code represents an item property type or classification, such as commodity type or planning family. The system uses this code to sort and process similar items.
This field is one of six classification categories that are available primarily for purchasing purposes.
- 3. Cost Protection
Specify whether you can change costs. The system retrieves cost information from either the F4105 table or, if you are working with supplier/item relationships, the F41061 table. The system also determines the table from which to retrieve cost information by checking the value in the Purchase Price Level field in the F4101 table. If the Purchase Price Level field contains a value of 1 or 2, the system retrieves cost information from the F40161 table and then from the F4105 table. If the Purchase Price Level field contains a value of 3, the system retrieves cost information only from the F4105 table.
Values are:
Blank: Display cost fields and allow changes.
1: Display cost fields and do not allow changes to the values.
2: Do not display the cost fields.
- 4. Stocking Type
Specify which stocking type for the system to display. The system retrieves information about stocking types from the F4102 table.
This UDC (41/I) indicates how you stock an item (for example, as finished goods or as raw materials). These stocking types are hard-coded and you should not change them:
0: Phantom
B: Bulk floor stock
C: Configured item
E: Emergency/corrective maintenance
F: Feature
K: Kit or parent item
N: Nonstock item
The first character of Description 2 indicates whether the item is purchased (P) or manufactured (M).
