Specify whether an item is sellable. Use the Update Sellable Flag program (R41900) to update this field for multiple items.
3.2.15.5 Blend Management
Select the Blend Management tab.
Operational Threshold
Enter the minimum and maximum threshold values for the active ingredient of an additive that you use in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system.
Threshold information is not required. You can use operational thresholds, cumulative thresholds or both.
The system compares this value with the quantity of active ingredient in the current operation and issues a warning if the quantity is below the minimum value or above the maximum value in an active operation. For actual or closed operations, the system generates an error.
You enter the operational or the cumulative threshold values using a unit of measure from the Blend Management Unit of Measure UDC table (31B/UM).
Cumulative Threshold
Enter the minimum and maximum cumulative threshold values for the active ingredient of an additive that you use in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Blend Management system. The system compares this value with the PPM quantity of the accumulated additives for the operation and issues a warning if the quantity is below the minimum value or above the maximum value in an active operation. For actual or closed operations, the system generates an error.
3.2.15.6 Demand Flow®
Select the Demand Flow® tab.
Demand Flow® Product
Select whether an item is an end item for Demand Flow. An item can be added to a mixed model family only if you select this option.
Total Product Cycle Time
Enter a value that represents the calculated work content through the longest path of the process or processes that are required to build a product. The value is in the scenario unit of measure (hours, minutes, seconds, or whatever was used in the scenario).
Primary Line
Enter a number that you have previously set up in the F30006 table to define which product line primarily produces the end item. You can define detailed work center operations within the line or cell.
Explode BOM(explode bill of material)
Select whether the BOM is expanded by one subordinate level. For example, if you select this option at level one, the system displays the children at level two. The children for level two do not appear unless you select this option for level two end
Entering Branch/Plant Information
The functionality of this option applies only when the item is a Demand Flow item and you are performing BOM explosion using the Volume Design and Product Synchronization program (PF30L201). Normal BOM explosion remains as it is in base manufacturing.
3.3 Entering Branch/Plant Information
This section provides an overview of branch/plant information, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
■ Set processing options for the Item Branch Plant program (P41026).
■ Assign items to a branch/plants.
■ Assign a primary location to an item.
■ Assign a secondary location to an item.
■ Enter classification codes for branch/plants.
■ Enter tax information.
■ Locate item sources.
■ Enter item reorder quantities.
■ Enter branch/plant manufacturing information.
■ Set processing options for Item Branch Duplication program (P41015).
■ Duplicate item information for multiple branch/plants.
3.3.1 Understanding Branch/Plant Information
Information about an item might differ from warehouse to warehouse. For example, taxes might be applicable to an item in one warehouse but not in another. You might also have different quantity requirements for items depending on the warehouse.
After you enter master information for an item, you can assign the item to warehouses or branch/plants. You can then configure the item information for each branch/plant.
You can also specify the item locations within the branch/plant and item processing information.
You enter item information for a branch/plant in the Item/Branch Plant program (P41026). Most fields on Item/Branch Plant Info. form are identical to those on the Item Master Revisions form. The system uses the default values from the Item Master Revisions form. You can enter item information for a single branch/plant or copy existing item information and duplicate it for multiple branch/plants.
Branch/plants can represent anything from warehouses to stores to trucks. You can define separate rules in each branch/plant, which enables you to separate divisions of universal items for which you can implement unique rules, costs, prices, and so forth.
After you establish a branch/plant, you can further define it by identifying locations, such as zones, aisles, bins, and lots. By establishing item locations, you can use the information to:
■ Verify specific locations.
See Also:
■ "Working with Item Information and Inventory Inflation Adjustment" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Localizations for Argentina Implementation Guide.
Entering Branch/Plant Information
■ Display item descriptions.
■ Review available quantities.
■ Review lot statuses.
You can also define locations by classifying them into groups that accommodate:
■ Consignment items.
■ Items requiring rework or repair.
■ Returned items.
■ Special items belonging to a particular customer.
If you have item information that applies to items in multiple branch/plants, you can enter item information for one branch/plant and then duplicate the information, such as costs, prices, and units of measure for as many as 10 other branch/plants by using either of these programs:
■ Item Branch Duplication (P41015) program to select individual items for duplication.
■ Item Branch Duplication (R41826) batch program to define criteria for items that you want to duplicate.
Both of these programs use the F41015 table during processing and send a message to the Employee Work Center when the duplication process is complete.
After you enter item information for a specific branch/plant, the system creates a record in the F4102 table. Every JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system that retrieves item information searches for the item branch/plant information before searching the item master information.
3.3.1.1 Item Locations
After you assign an item to a branch/plant, you can indicate multiple locations in which the item resides. For each branch/plant, you assign:
■ A primary location.
A primary location is required. The system prompts you for the primary location immediately after you assign an item to a branch/plant. The system usually processes an item through its primary location. For example, when you receive an item, the system assigns the item to its primary location unless you specify a secondary location.
■ Multiple secondary locations.
Secondary locations are optional. You can also assign secondary locations to an item when you enter branch/plant information. The system automatically assigns a secondary location if you enter a location other than the primary location for an item when you receive it.
In addition to assigning locations to an item and branch/plant, you can assign multiple lot numbers to each location. You can enter lot numbers manually when you enter item locations or when you receive the items.
You can change the primary location for an item. However, if any of these soft commitments exist, they need to be cleared before you change the primary location:
■ Quantity Soft Committed (PCOM)
Entering Branch/Plant Information
■ Quantity on Purchase Order (PREQ)
■ Other on Work Order Receipt (QWBO)
■ Quantity Other Purchasing 1 (OT1A)
■ Quantity Work Order Soft Commit (FUN1)
■ Secondary Quantity Soft Committed (SCMS)
■ Secondary Quantity on Purchase Order (SREQ)
■ Secondary Quantity on Work Order (SQWO)
To delete a primary location, you must first change it to a secondary location. You cannot delete locations that contain quantities.
If you specify location control on the System Constants form, you can assign an item to only those locations that are set up on the Branch/Plant Location Master form. If you do not specify location control, you can assign an item to any location.
If you use license plate processing in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system, you activate functionality at the branch/plant level and can specify whether to automatically create a license plate number for an item or item dimension group in a specific unit of measure.
When you enter a location for an item, the system creates a record in the F41021 table.
3.3.1.2 Country of Origin
Enter a code (00/CN) that identifies the country in which the item originates. This information is useful to organizations that must periodically separate inventory by country of origin.
3.3.1.3 Blend Management
When you set up additive items with threshold information for JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne Blend Management, you must set up the operational and cumulative threshold information for active ingredients in the Item Branch/Plant program as well.
When you enter additive operations, the system retrieves the threshold information from the Item Branch table.
3.3.2 Prerequisites
Before you complete the tasks in this section, you must:
■ Set up the origin of imported items in UDC table (41/L9).
Note: The system disables the Country of Origin Required checkbox when you identify an item as bulk.
See Also:
■ "Setting Up Bulk Depots" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Bulk Stock Inventory Implementation Guide.
■ "Setting Up Bulk Items" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Bulk Stock Inventory Implementation Guide.
■ Setting Up Allowed Lot Status Codes.
■ Setting Up Manufacturing Information.
Entering Branch/Plant Information
■ Set up customs codes in UDC table (41/L0).
