Master Items

Most of the item information is optional, and you should define only the information required to maintain the item. If an application is not installed on your system, then the tab is not enabled. For example, if Oracle Order Management is not installed on your system, you cannot access the Order Management tab.

1. Navigate to the Master Item window.

Responsibility: Inventory
Navigation: Items --> Master Items



2. Enter a unique code for the item.

3. Optionally, select a Control Level to enable only Master level or Organization level attributes. The default is to enable all attributes.

4. Select an tabbed region to display an item attribute group where you can specify values for attributes in that group.

Note: To locate a particular attribute without manually looking through the tabbed regions choose Find Attribute from the Tools menu.

5. Save your work.

6. To display existing items, click Find from the Query menu and enter search criteria in the Find Master Items window. 


To define an item by copying attribute information from an existing item

1. From the Master Item window, choose Copy From on the Tools menu to open the Copy From window.

2. Enter the name of the item whose attribute information you want to copy.


3. Click one of the following buttons, then close the Copy From window:
  • Cancel: To close the Copy From window.
  • Apply: To copy attribute information.
  • Done: To copy attribute information.
4. Item attribute information is copied from the copy item to the new item you are defining. You cannot use this process to copy attributes to an existing item.

Important: Category relationships, organization assignments, catalog group information, and costs are not copied.

5. Save your work.


To define an item using a template

1. From the Master Item window choose Copy From on the Tools menu.

2. Enter the name of the template you want to apply.

3. Click Cancel to close the Copy From window, click Apply to copy template information, or click Done to copy template information and close the Copy From window.

4. You can apply multiple templates to the item. The more recent attribute values (from the last template applied) override previous values unless the previous value is not updatable (such as the Primary Unit of Measure, which is never updatable). 

5. Save your work.


To copy attributes from an existing item and apply a template at the same time

1. From the Master Item window choose Copy From on the Tools menu.

2. Enter the name of the template and the item you want to apply.

3. Choose Cancel to close the Copy From window, choose Apply to copy attribute and template information, or choose Done to copy attribute and template information and close the Copy From window. Note that the item is copied first, and then the template is applied.

4. Save your work.
