Guided Demonstration 2 - Viewing Items and Packaged Items
Viewing an Item
1. Click Order Management > Material Management > Item.
2. Click Search at the bottom of the page.
3. Click the Item ID of CHOCOLATE COOKIES.
4. Note the Commodity ID of SNACK FOOD.
This is where you link your item with a commodity
5. Note the effective and expiration dates. You can prevent OTM from building shipments containing items outside their effective time window.
6. Note the classification standards fields such as NMFC Article ID, STCC ID, and HTS ID.
You can specify different industry classifications for an item. If you cannot find the classification system you need, you can define your own using the User Defined Commodity ID and User Defined Commodity List ID fields.
• Note the NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) classification which includes class 50 to class 500 and is used for Less-than-Truckload or LTL rating. The NMFC provides both carriers and shippers with a standard by which to begin pricing
negotiations and greatly simplifies the comparative evaluation of the many thousands of products moving in today's marketplace. The higher the expense or the risk of hauling the commodity, the higher the class designation. Therefore, the higher the class, the higher the corresponding per hundredweight rate.
• Note the STCC (Standard Transportation Commodity Code) codes which are mostly used for rail are important to have for rating purposes.
• Note the HTS (Harmonized Tariff System) codes which are an international commodity classification developed under the auspices of the Customs Cooperation Council. In the Harmonized System, goods are classified by what they are, and not according to their stage of fabrication, their use, or origin. The Harmonized System nomenclature is logically structured by economic activity or component material.
• Note the SITC (Standard International Trade Classification) codes which are a standard numerical code system developed by the United Nations to classify
commodities used in international trade. OTM provides a list of SITC codes that you can use or you can add your own.
Viewing the Auto-generated Packaged Item
By default, when you create a new item, OTM will create a new packaged item with the exact same ID as the item. So in this example, when the item CHOCOLATE COOKIES was created, a new packaged item of CHOCOLATE COOKIES was also created by OTM.
7. Click the Packaged Item ID of CHOCOLATE COOKIES.
OTM displays the Packaged Item page.
8. Note the Packaging Unit of LARGE BOX.
In this example, there is a packaging unit of LARGE BOX. This is the package in which smaller boxes are being shipped.
9. Note the Package Weight of 25 LB.
Note the Package Weight. Since there is a packaging unit specified OTM interprets the package weight as the weight of 10 small boxes and the tare weight of the packaging unit.
10. Note the Inner Pack Packaging Unit of SMALL BOX.
