Item Order Management Specifications

The following are the item order management specification attributes and their possible values. You set these attributes when you define or update items.

Item Order Management Specifications

Attribute Name Description
ATP Components Indicate whether to include, in available to promise checking, additional components in the bill of material for ATO and PTO items. These components are included in ATP checking if Check ATP for the component is turned on.
ATP Rule Enter a user-defined available to promise rule. ATP rules define supply and demand sources, time-fence parameters, and available-to-promise calculation methods. You can give ATP rules meaningful names, such as ATO ATP Rule. If there is no ATP rule for the item, the organization's default ATP rule is used.
Back-to-Back Enabled

Indicate how items are handled downstream. Set value to Yes to enable constant back-ordering, so that downstream applications automatically order items before they go out of stock.

If this attribute is set to Yes, then you must also set the following attributes to Yes:

  • Inventory Item

  • Reservable

  • Customer Ordered, Customer Orders Enabled (if Autocreated Configuration is set to No)

Charge Periodicity

This attribute is controlled at the master organization level.

The time the application uses to price a persistent or recurring service or product. Each unit of measure in this class is a periodicity value. An item has only one periodicity value.

Default value: null

Check ATP

Indicate whether to check available to promise or capable to promise information when placing demand.

  • Check Material Only

  • Check Material and Resources

  • Check Resources Only

  • None

This attribute also determines whether you can view component ATP information for material requirements in Work in Process.

Customer Ordered

Indicate whether to allow an item to be ordered by external customers. This attribute must be turned off if the Structure Item Type attribute is set to Planning.

If you turn this attribute on, you can temporarily exclude an item from being ordered by turning Customer Orders Enabled off.

Customer Orders Enabled

Indicates whether an item is currently customer orderable

You can initially define an item with Customer Ordered Item turned on and Customer Orders Enabled turned off. This means prices can be defined for the item, but no orders can be placed for it.

This attribute is optionally set by the Item Status code.

Eligibility Rule This attribute is no longer used to determine product eligibility.
Internally Transferable

Indicate whether to allow an item to be ordered on an internal requisition.

If you turn this attribute on, you can temporarily exclude an item from being ordered on an internal requisition by turning Internal Orders Enabled off.

Transfer Order Enabled Indicate whether you can currently order an item internally. If you turn this attribute on, you can specify the item on an internal requisition, if Internal Ordered Item is also on.
Order Management Transaction Enabled Indicates whether demand can be placed for an item and whether shipment transactions are interfaced.
Order Management Indivisible Indicates whether or not the item can be ordered in fractions. Select No to enable ordering in decimal or fractional quantities.
Overshipment Tolerance Indicates the amount of the shipment you can ship below at the time of ship confirmation.
Picking Rule Indicate picking rule that defines the order in which subinventories, locators, lots, and revisions are picked.
Returnable Indicate whether to allow customers to return an item.
RMA Inspection Required Indicate whether inspection is required for items returned by the customer. The item then must be separately transferred to inventory.
Ship Model Complete Indicate whether any configuration derived from this model can ship only when all required quantities of all configuration components (options or included items) are available.
Undershipment Tolerance Indicate the amount of the shipment that can be shipped below at the time of ship confirmation.
Shippable Indicate whether to ship an item to a customer. A warning is issued if you change the value of this attribute when open sales order lines exist.

This attribute must be turned off if the Structure Item Type attribute is set to Planning.

Sales Product Type
Indicates whether this product can participate in specific sales management processes by default, without customization. For example, if the value is Subscription, the products will follow Subscription Management (that is, Subscription Sales Management process).

  • Goods
  • Subscription
  • One Time Service
  • Training
