Define Items and Item Structures

Defining the master data for Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing includes creating items and item structures. You can:

1. Assign items and structures to your new manufacturing plant.

2. Create a work definition, which provides a template for work order execution.

3. Create Items.

You can either manually create purchased and finished goods items or import items. To create items, you must access the Product Information Management work area. You can't do this through the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Creating Items Manually

The steps to create an item manually are:

1. On the Home page, select Product Management and then Product Information Management.

2. Click the Tasks tab, and select Create Item.

3. In the Create Item dialog box, provide values for the following fields:

   1. Organization

   2. Number of Items

   3. Item Class

4. Select the appropriate item template, from the Available List and click the > button to move it to the Selected List.

5. Click OK.

For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Cloud SCM Using Product Master Data Management guide.

Creating Item Structures Manually

An item structure defines items that make up a finished good. A structure isn't required to create a work definition, but a structure is generally in place.
