A Produmex tab is added to Item Master Data with fields that are not available in standard SAP Business One.
Important: When duplicating an Item in Item Master Data, only the predefined Zone Type grids carry over to the newly duplicated Item. The standard way to copy bulk data to the new Item is by using Import Data tool.
Inventory UoM Name
Inventory UoM is an existing SAP Business One field, with a formatted search on the SAP OUOM table. This table contains all the defined UoMs.
Set the inventory UoM to the lowest sellable unit (for example pieces, cases) to avoid rounding issues. For further information please visit Inventory UoM site.
Number of Decimals for uom1
This field indicates the number of decimals for the first UoM. This is used in flows when entering a quantity.
Uom 2
Uom2 identifies the second UoM for the item.
1 uom 2 =
If a second UoM is defined, the conversion rate between the two UoM’s is entered in this field.
Has best before date
If the item has a best before date, this field has to be ticked.
Has second batch number
Defines whether the item has a second batch number.
Default quantity on logistic unit
Defines whether the item has a default quantity on a logistic unit.
Is used for:
Item storage location type
It defines the item storage location type.
The list is retrieved from the Item Storage Location Type (PMX_ISLT) UDT.
This is used in the Location Suggestions functionality and the item location type can be set for bin locations.
Is logistic carrier
This field has to be ticked if the item in question is a logistic carrier (pallet, europallet, container, …). An item can be a logistic carrier as well as a returnable item, e.g a europallet.
Is logistic unit (GS1)
A logistic unit is an individual unit that has been composed for transport and/or storage and have to be manageable throughout the supply chain. These items are identified by means of the Application Identifier 01 in the GS1 standard.
Has no value
Only applies to logistic carriers. If this is checked, the system will allow to deliver the logistic carrier free of charge to the customer during ad hoc picking – customer collect.
Report label key
The identification of the label that belongs to a specific item.
Report label number of copies
The number of labels that have to be printed for a specific item.
Ask for quantity on item label printing
If checked the system will ask to enter a quantity. This entered quantity is passed to the label. This can be used for instance to put the weight on the label.
Item label printing by packaging type
If checked the system will print item labels based on packaging types. When item labels need to be printed, the user can enter the number of labels by each packaging type + inventory uom. On the Produmex Attributes tab it is possible to set a specific report for each packaging type. Also the number of copies can be set there.
If the global option on Company for automatic printing of item labels during goods receipt is set to true, and the option for printing item labels by packaging type is set to true, the system will print the label for the packaging type linked to the purchase order, of purchase uom in case of receiving without PO.
Seveso class (Hazmat in North America)
With the setting it is possible to define the seveso class the item belongs to. The configuration is available with the PMX_SEVE UDT.
When a purchase order is created for an item, the system checks the current inventory for that item. If the current inventory exceeds the maximum inventory set on the PMX_SEVE table, a warning is shown. Still, the order can be added and the stock can be received on the Mobile Client without any further warning.
Use in WA functionality
Enable this option to use this item for the WA functionality.
Is returnable item
This field is checked if the item in question is a “returnable item” (“empties”).
Non-inventory returnable item code
This field contains the item code of the non-inventory returnable item. This code is used for the delivery and receipt of returnable items (“empties”) and is one-to-one coupled with the inventory item code of the same returnable item. (This is configurable on the organizational structure on the ‘General’ tab of the company)
Force serial numbers during cycle count?
When this option enabled for an item with PMX serial numbers and track location enabled, then serial numbers must be entered during cycle counting operations. Otherwise, it's also possible to just enter the counted quantity.
Note: This option has no effect on SAP serial numbered items.
Zone type code
Apart from indicating a standard location or zone, the user can also specify the zone type code. If such a code is entered, the system verifies upon storing an item whether it can be stored in this zone and prevents the item from being stored in a different zone. This can be used for instance if a product needs to be ‘cooled’. If the product has this zone type, it can only be stored on location within a zone that is also ‘cooled’.
Note: Items with assigned Zone Types during a duplication action will carry over the defined Zone Type to the duplicated Item as well.
Default location or zone code
On this grid a default location or zone can be specified for each warehouse for the item. The default location/zone is shown as information on the handheld.
Select the warehouse from the drop-down list on the Pmx Warehouse Code field. Every warehouse that is managed by Produmex can be selected.
Add the code of the location or the zone on the Default location or zone code field. Only locations or zones that belong to the selected warehouse can be added.
To remove a line, select the line and click on the Delete row
button.
Note: Produmex WMS ignores the option if the Use Location Suggestion? setting is enabled on a warehouse level.
Shelf life delivery
This field specifies the minimum remaining shelf life in days of an item (article) from the moment it is outside the responsibility of the manufacturer/distributor (external shelf life), i.e. the actual period that the product is physically present at the customer and can be sold to the end customer.
The external shelf life is defined by the Best Before Date and means that the product will need to stay good at the retailer for at least a specified number of days before the “Best Before Date”. To guarantee that a product can be sold long enough, the retailer usually requires a minimal external shelf life from the manufacturer/distributor of the product.
Pick type
Will define how an item will be handled during pick list generation and picking.
The list of item pick types is defined on the User Defined table “PMX_IPIT”.
If an item is a of a certain pick type (e.g. ’Handle with care’) and it is indicated on the Produmex Pick List Type (User Defined Table “PMX_PITY”) that a pick list should be split based on the item pick type, this item will not be added to pick list with items of another pick type (e.g. slow mover). In this case two pick lists will be generated.
On the UDT “PMX_UIPT” users can be linked to certain item pick types. If such a configuration exists, the system will only allow the user to pick items that he is allowed to pick. This option is used in the ‘Zone picking’ option on the scanner.
Pick type 2
Apart from the primary pick type, an item can also have a second pick type.
The list of item pick types is defined on the User Defined table “PMX_IPIT”.
If it is indicated on the Produmex Pick List Type (User Defined Table “PMX_PITY”) that a pick list should be split based on item “pick type 2” the system will generate separate pick lists based on this criterion, if applicable in combination with the first pick type.
The configuration for linking it to a user is also available for item pick type 2.
Bulk pick quantity
The quantity (lower or equal than a full logistic unit) for which the system will also allow to pick from a bulk location. This is used on stock allocation to a pick list, when it is selected on the scanner.
Configuration on the Picklist Controller needs to allow picking from bulk, see description of Can the user pick bulk quantity from bulk location? setting.
Example: If bulk quantity = 10 and on the sales order you need 24 items, 20 pieces can be picked from bulk, and 4 from pick location.
Enter reason for sales return
Indicates whether a reason has to be specified when a sold item is returned.
Print label during picking
Set whether item labels need to be printed during picking for this item.
Replenishment: quantity on pick locations
The quantity of that item that should be available on pick locations. Based on the parameters that are set in the “Item-based replenishment generator” the system will check whether there are pick locations with this item where there is a lower quantity than the needed quantity and will replenish these. In the “item-based replenishment generator” it can be specified whether or not the system has to take into account open pick lists, pick lists for a specific due date range, or required quantities for a specific stock coverage period (based on the estimated sales quantity by month)
Estimated sales quantity by month
Estimated sales quantity to be sold by month (1 month = 30 days), to be used for stock coverage calculations. Used by the “Item-based replenishment generator”.
Default quality status for sales return
Indicates the default quality status of a sold item that is returned. The standard possibilities are: blocked, quarantine, released, rejected, returned.
This overrides the general definition of the quality status for sales return.
Allow multiple batches on sales doc.
Indicates whether it is allowed on a sales document to have multiple batches of an item in one line (e.g. ordered quantity cannot be fulfilled by a single batch of a product).
This is for information only.
Allow stock to be locked in advance
When this option is set to true, this item can be used for locking in advance. This means it will be possible to lock the stock for certain customer(s) at the moment the stock is received. (Purchase/production/inventory receipt, warehouse transfer)
Smallest sellable packaging type
Indicates the smallest packaging type of the item that can be sold. This is for information only.
Default log. car. picking
The default logistic carrier that is used for the product (e.g. a CHEP or a EURO pallet, …) on the picking process. This is for information only.
Scan base component
In case items are shipped in a special container (e.g. a crate), it can be indicated that the base component needs to be scanned, instead of scanning the container with the items (the crate as a whole). So a single item in the crate has to be scanned to make sure that the crate is sent containing the right items.
This is used in the Picking flow on the scanner. It uses a BOM to check the base component.
Packing remarks
Specific remarks for packing the item in question which is shown on the RF terminal or touchscreen when handling the item.
Packing image
Image of the specific packing of the item in question (e.g. picture of the kit). This image is shown during Packing and Consolidated packing flow.
Sales remarks pop-up
If checked, the system will show the sales remarks that are specified for the product when selecting the product on a sales document.
Sales remarks
Specific remarks that are shown in SAP Business One when creating a sales order for this item.
Add non-inventory item to pick list
If some non-inventory items need to be on the pick list, this option can be checked. When creating a pick list/proposal, the system will add this item to the pick list/proposal.
This option can only be set for items that are configured to be non-inventory items.
This item can be picked/packed on the scanner/touchscreen. Only the quantity will be asked as this is a non-inventory item.
When the pick list has 10 pieces to pick, and the user only enters 8, the system will register this 8 pieces, but the 2 additional pieces will automatically be skipped, so they will not be picked.
Grid 1: Shelf life by customer and country
Produmex also offers the possibility to define a shelf life per individual customer and/or countries, apart from the general shelf life. This is then taken into account when picking goods (i.e. some goods may still be picked for certain customers or countries, but not for others).
You can enter a shelf life for either just a customer, or just a country, or a combination of both a customer and a country.
Grid 2: Minimum reserved stock per customer
This function makes it possible to reserve a minimum stock quantity of an item for customers.
The following pieces of information are mandatory in the grid:
When the necessary data is provided, the stock quantity is reserved for the given customer and picklist proposals cannot be created from the reserved stock for a different customer.
The reservation is based on the item/quality level, that is, this functionality does not block a batch from being used. When a proposal is being created, a batch gets locked.
Shelf life reception
The minimum number of days a product will have to remain sellable from the moment the system receives the product into inventory (prior to the product’s expiry date).
Enter reason for purchase return
Indicates whether a reason has to be specified when returning a purchased item.
Default quality status for reception
This is the default quality status when receiving the item in question.
Released quality status for reception
The released quality status for reception. This is only used for the Quality status for reception by batch extension of the QS Reception Contr. on Company controller. When the system receives a quantity of this item of a certain batch, the system will check whether there is already a specific quantity of the same batch available with the “released quality status”. If there is such a quantity available, the system will overrule the default quality status and assign the released quality status to the received item.
Expiry def. for reception
Allows to specify the expiry definition for reception as defined in the User Defined Table “PMX_EXDE” – Expiry Definitions
Purchase barcode type
If the purchase barcode differs from the main barcode, the type of this barcode can be filled in. The possible values are: GTIN-14 (GS1 Global Trade Item Number) or a free code. If the user enters a GTIN-14 code, the system verifies whether this is a correct barcode (according to the GS1 rules).
Purchase barcode
Contains the purchase barcode if it is different from the main barcode.
Create SSCC on reception
If checked the system will automatically generate an SSCC on reception if no SSCC was scanned. If unchecked, no SSCC will be created and stock can be manipulated without reference to the SSCC.
If multiple items are received, and at least one of them requires an SSCC, the system will create one.
If no SSCC is created at reception, no put away order will be generated. Items need to be moved through ad hoc movement.
If the items is configured as a serial number, with track location on, this setting needs to be ticked.
Print label at reception
Set whether item labels need to be printed at reception for this item.
Sample quantity
Defines the quantity (in inventory uom) of the sample that should be sent back for inspection. The sample generator will use this quantity to generate the sample order (Sales order).
The generation of the actual sample order is done through the SboNotificationListener.
Weight capture from scale needed
If the setting is enabled, the item must be weighed during the Reception Flow.
Purchase remarks pop-up
Is set to true, the text in the purchase remarks is shown as a pop-up when using this item in a purchase document in SAP.
Purchase remarks
The purchase remarks to be shown when selecting the item in a purchase document in SAP.
Grid: Released quality status reception by supplier
Produmex offers the possibility to define a default quality status on reception per supplier. Enter the supplier card code and select the quality status from the dropdown list.
This option is used in the ‘Reception’ and the ‘Receive from WHS’ flows if the QS reception controller on company is set to the ‘Gets the quality status for reception’ extension.
Remaining Quantity by Default?
The number of items to be shown on the mobile client when scanning the product (remaining based on PO, barcode, etc. or not) can be predefined when the option is selected on the Purchase Delivery Generator. Options are:
Default quality status for production
This is the quality status that the stock gets when producing new stock. The setting overrules the general setting.
Default log. car. Production
This is the default logistic carrier for production. If this is set, the system automatically uses that logistic carrier to put the stock on.
Expiry def for production
It allows for specifying the expiry definition for production as defined in the Expiry Definitions UDT.
Auto line up selection
If the setting is enabled, the system automatically lines up the location and does not allow the user to select it.
Additional pick for production (%)
When picking for production without a picklist, the system proposes to pick more than the theoretically needed quantity for the production order.
Allowed production deviation (%)
The allowed deviation of the produced quantity. This is used in combination with the Confirm produced quantity after production and Default production quantity setting on the production controller. It checks if the deviation is allowed based on the default quantity to produce.
Deviation from the allowed quantity:
If the deviation from the default quantity exceeds by a specified percentage, only then a warning message will be triggered.
Default production quantity (%)
This is the default quantity on a produced logistic unit. This setting is used in combination with the Split produced quantity into logistic units of default size setting on the production controller.
The Allowed production deviation (%) setting is taken into account during the Confirm produced quantity after production.
Use for time registration
It indicates if the item is used as a time registration type that can be added to a Bill of Material and a production order. The quantity is in hours.
Weigh Strategy
Before starting the Weigh flow you need to create a weigh order for the given item. The Weigh Order window displays the weight strategy that is defined for the item by the Weight Strategy setting. The weigh strategy can be By order or By item. The weighing room drop-down menu of the Weigh order window displays those weighing rooms that have got the same strategy as the item. (The weigh strategy of the weighing room can be set in the Organizational Stucture.)
During the Weigh Flow, you select a weighing room and then the flow continues based on the strategy of the weighing room. For more information click here.
Weight Capture needed during Production
If the setting is enabled, the product / by-product must be weighed with a scale during production.
Production remarks
You can add production remarks for the item. This is for information only.
Catch weight item?
Indicates if the item is a catch weight item.
GS1 AI for uom
The GS1 application identifier to capture the quantity for pieces.
Possible values:
GS1 AI for uom2
The GS1 application identifier to capture the quantity for the weight.
Possible values:
1 uom = xxx uom 2
The weight of 1 piece.
Weight tolerance (%)
The weight tolerance in percentage. Here it can be defined what the allowed tolerance for the weight is. If the tolerance >= 100, no tolerance check will be done. This check will be used for all documents except: goods issue and goods receipts.
Calculation:
( Pieces * Default weight of 1 piece ) -
( Pieces * Default weight of 1 piece ) * Weight tolerance/100
< Allowed weight <
( Pieces * Default weight of 1 piece ) +
( Pieces * Default weight of 1 piece ) * Weight tolerance/100
Uom to use for purchase
The uom that should be asked when receiving items.
Possible values:
Uom to use for inventory
The uom that should be asked when moving items.
Possible values:
Uom to use for sales
The uom that should be asked when delivering items.
Possible values:
Price calculation for sales
The calculation of the price for creating a sales delivery.
Possible values:
Price by weight
When a sales delivery/reserve invoice is generated, the price will need to be set when:
The unit price before discount will be adjusted. The default unit price is based on the default weight of a catch weight item. So a recalculation based on the actual delivered weight needs to be done.
The calculation formula is: Unit price before discount = (Unit price before discount sales order / Default weight by piece) * Actual weight) / Quantity
Database columns: DLN1.PriceBefDi = ( RDR1.PriceBefDi / OITM.U_PMX_DQUM) * DLN1.U_PMX_QTY2 ) + DLN1.Quantity
Example:
ItemA
* Inventory uom = Case
* Weight uom = Pounds
* 1 Case = 24 pounds (U_PMX_DQUM = 24)
* Price per case = 48$ (= 2$ / pound)
Sales order
* 20 cases
* Unit price = 48$
* Total price = 960$
When we deliver the 20 cases the actual weight = 500 pound (Nominal weight was 480 pound)
The calculation is as follows:
(Unit price sales order / Default weight by piece) * Actual weight) / Quantity = Unit price
(48$/24 pounds) * 500 pounds) / 20 cases = 50$
Total price of the delivery line will be 1000$
This means if you deliver 500 pounds, this is 2$ by pound.
Scan weight for each case
When this is enabled, when scanning/entering the weight in the device, the system will not automatically calculate the number of pieces that would be associated with the weight, but it will use the # pieces in a case.
So on the first entry of the weight, the user can either enter the total weight for all pieces.
Flow:
# pieces in case
This is used in combination with the setting 'Scan weight for each case'.
It stored the number of pieces in a case.
Record weight details during picking
When this is enabled, the entered weight during picking on a device will be stored in a separate table: PMX_WDET.
It stores the pick list doc entry, item and batch details.
This allows to retrieve the detailed weight entry for an item on a pick list.
Packaging type
The grid shows the packaging type of the item.
Refresh
and the changes are reflected on the Attributes tab.Refresh
and the changes are reflected on the Attributes tab.Note: To print by packaging type, ensure the item label is configured for the packaging types on the Attributes tab. The system will not use the default item label set on the General tab of OSE. If no label is specified on the Attributes tab, the user will be prompted to print, but no printing will occur.
Packaging type code
The packaging type code
Number of UOM 1
The quantity in the packaging, in inventory uom.
Has variable quantity (Goods entry)?
If the quantity for the packaging type can change on each goods entry, this option can be set to true. If the item is batch controlled, the system will ask during goods entry what the quantity in the current packaging type is. This information will be stored, linked to the batch information.
Hide during entering quantity
When this option is set, that packaging type is not shown to the user when he needs to enter the quantity.
Item label report
The specific report that needs to be printed when the option ‘Item label printing by packaging type’ is set to true. When a report is selected, the number of copies need to be more than 0.
# Copies item label
The number of copies that need to be printed in case of option ‘Item label printing by packaging type’ is set to true. If this is set to 0, no item labels will be printed for that packaging type.
Batch attributes
If an item has a batch, batch2 or BBD, the system can ask for batch attributes during reception and production.
When a new combination of batch, batch2 or BBD is entered, the system will ask for the batch attributes linked to the item. The values of the batch attributes will be stored into the table PMX_ITBA. There are some predefined batch attribute types. Those batch attributes will be stored also on the table PMX_ITRI.
Batch attribute code
This is a list of batch attribute types defined in the UDT @PMX_BATT
Value entry option at reception
This will set whether he value should be asked during reception
Possible values:
Is linked to batch?
When this option is set to true, this batch attribute will be linked to the batch number.
This means when a new combination of batch/batch2/BBD is created, and the batch number already exists in the system for this item, the batch attribute is not asked to the user, but the value is copied.
Allergens
This grid stores all the allergens the item can have.
Allergen code
This is a list of allergens defined in the UDT @PMX_ALLE
Can contain allergen?
If this product does not contain the allergen by default, but it is possible that some trace of this allergen could be present, this option can be checked.
