Why do we need default category set?
Why do we need default category set?
Default category sets are
required so that each functional
area has at least one
category set that contains all items in that functional area.
If a functional area’s
item defining attribute is controlled at the Organization level, then that
functional area may only have an Organization level default category set.
What is the prerequisite for assigning item to
categories?
You must define default
category sets for your functional areas.
What is the need of item cataloging?
You can use item
cataloging to add descriptive information to items and to partition your Item
Master into groups of items that share common characteristics.
When you assign an item
to a catalog group, you choose descriptive elements that apply to the item, and
assign values to the descriptive elements.
What is concatenated (connected) Item
Descriptions?
If you choose Update
Description, Oracle Inventory
concatenates(connects) the item catalog group information and overwrites the
item description with this new information.
How can we import the items?
We can import items
using the Open Item Interface
and
the Customer Item Interface.
How do you define an item by copying attribute
information from an existing item?
From the Master Item window choose Copy From
on the Tools
menu
to open the Copy From window.
NOTE: The
following are not copied:
Category relationships,
organization assignments,
Catalog
group information, and costs are not copied.
Note: Use the Organization Items window to update Organization level item
attributes for your current organization. To update Master level attributes use
the Master Items window.
