What are user item type item attributes?
The User Item Type item
attribute is a Quick Code we use
when we define an item. We can use the types provided by Oracle Inventory or
create our own.
You cannot change the
values in this field after saving them. To remove an obsolete Quick Code you
can disable the code, enter an end date, or change the meaning and description
to match a replacement code.
What are item templates?
Templates are defined
sets of attributes that you can use over and over to create many similar items.
Templates make initial item definition easier.
Copying
Templates: To make defining
templates easier, you can use the Copy From function on the Tools
menu in the Item Templates window.
You can apply as many
templates as you want to an existing item.
Indicate whether the
template is restricted to use by only one
Organization. If you
leave the organization code blank, you can use the template in any
organization.
Why can’t we change the organization specific
templates?
For organization
specific templates, some attributes, such as the planner, may be tied to the
organization. For this reason, you cannot change the organization specified in
the template once the template has been defined.
Attention: If you enable a status attribute, its value will not be applied to the
item if the status attribute is under status control.
What
does Cross–Reference Types Define?
Cross–reference types
define relationships between items and entities such as old item numbers or
supplier item numbers.
How do you assign cross–references types to items from the
Master Items.
Navigate to the Master
Items Summary window.
2. Select an item.
3. Choose Cross
References from the Tools menu.
4. Enter the
cross–reference type name.
Etc….
What are customer item commodity codes?
Customer Item Commodity
Codes are used to group customer items
and can be entered
during the definition of customer items.
What is a category and category set?
A category is a logical
classification of items that
have similar
characteristics. A category set is a distinct grouping scheme and consists of
categories.
How many structures can an item category
flexfield have?
You can define multiple segment structures for the
Item Categories Flexfield. Each segment structure may have its own display
prompts and fields.
What are the two-category flexfield structures by
default
When you install or upgrade Oracle Inventory or
Oracle Purchasing?
Oracle provides two category
flexfield structures by default: Item
Categories and PO Item Category.
A category can belong to
multiple category sets. You can assign a category to a category set either at
the time you define a category set or at the time you assign an item to the
category.
Attention: The categories assigned to a category set must have the same flexfield
structure as the set itself. This is true even if you choose not to validate
the category list.
Category sets: You can use categories and category sets to group items for various
reports and programs.
Note: The category set Inventory is seeded when you install Oracle Inventory. The category set Purchasing
is seeded when you install Oracle Purchasing.
