For each preference selected, the appropriate program is loaded when you save the details for the new stock item. You then have the option of entering the details at that point, or later if required.

If you do not select a preference, you can still use the appropriate program to enter the required details later.

If you do not select this option then the entries defined using the Maintain Global Defaults option are used when adding a stock item.

When capturing a stock item that belongs to a specific product class, you can then elect to use the default entries which you assigned to the product class.

This option is only enabled if you selected either the Maintain Global Defaults or Maintain Product Class Defaults option from the Defaults menu.

If you selected to maintain product class defaults, then you must enter a product class before you can define the warehouse defaults.

You can only access this field if your stock code numbering method is set to Manual (Set Key Information). If set to scripted or automatic, then the next stock code number is displayed here automatically.

A stock code that already exists can only be created as a non-stocked code in the Quotations module (Non-stocked Codes) if the New stock code in non-stocked table option is enabled (Inventory Setup).

This is only enabled when the Stock code numbering method is Scripted (Set Key Information).

You use the VBScript Editor to build a unique stock code for each new stock item added. The scripted stock code can be constructed using values from other entered fields to update the StockCodeDetails.CodeObject.StockCodescripted field.

This indicates the warehouse that must be used to extract the quantities of stock required by the Bill of Materials module when performing functions such as a cost implosion and creating material allocations.

It is also the default warehouse used for the parent when adding a job and is used to calculated the new landed cost of an item.

The Purchase Orders module does not use the Warehouse to use as the default warehouse when adding a purchase order.

	If you are using the full Goods in Transit transfers facility then the warehouse to use defaults to being the top level warehouse for the item. You cannot specify a warehouse to use if it is supplied by another warehouse.

The Drawing Register is not updated when this drawing number is changed.

It is only enabled if the ECC (Engineering Change Control) module is installed.

You must enter a valid product class if the Validate product class option is enabled (Inventory Setup). When you enter a valid product class, the description for the product class is displayed. If you did not select to validate product classes, then, although a product class must be assigned to a stock item, your entry is validated only at the time of generating a sales order (see Sales Order Entry).

You cannot access this field if you selected the Use Product Class Defaults option (Defaults function). The product class you entered on the Use Product Class Defaults screen is automatically entered in this field. To change the default product class, select the Change Product Class option from the Defaults function.

If you enabled the Theoretical uom conversion option (Sales Orders Setup) then you enter the theoretical unit of measure here.

For example: You sell boxes of fruit that you stock in kilograms, but sell by the box. If there are theoretically 10kg in one box, then kilograms is the theoretical unit of measure because only at the time of selling the fruit do you know the exact number of kilograms sold.

If you enabled the EC VAT system required option (Company Tax Options Setup) then the mass per stocking unit is required for the Supplementary Declarations report.

When creating a parent item from Product Configurator (Configurator Wizard) the mass of the item is the sum of the masses of the components used to create the parent item.

When creating a parent item from Product Configurator (see Configurator Wizard) the volume of the item is the sum of the volumes of the components used to create the parent item.

This indicates the value that must be used to convert volume measurements to weight measurements (e.g. conversion between kilograms and liters, or vice versa).

This is used if the stock item is required in a batch bill of materials.

	When you change a conversion factor, any outstanding sales or purchase orders processed using the alternate unit of measure are not changed. These orders are still recorded at the factor applicable at the time the order was created. Outstanding sales and purchase orders must therefore be manually changed as required.

The field is used by the Sales Order module if you indicated that the unit of measure must be requested for order quantities (Sales Orders Setup).

It is also used by the Purchase Order module if you indicated that the Alternate unit of measure must be used for order quantities (Purchase Orders Setup)

For example: If your item is stocked as each and sold or ordered in dozens, then you would set up the alternate unit of measure table conversion as follows:

If you enabled the Theoretical uom conversion option (Sales Orders Setup) then you enter the absolute unit of measure in this field.

For example: You sell boxes of fruit that you stock in kilograms, but sell by the box. The box is the absolute unit of measure. If there are theoretically 10kg in one box, then kilograms is the theoretical unit of measure.

A conversion factor enables you to convert the Other unit of measure into the Stocking unit of measure.

	When you change a conversion factor, any outstanding sales orders processed using the other unit of measure are not changed. These orders are still recorded at the factor applicable at the time the order was created. Outstanding sales orders must therefore be manually changed as required.

The field is used by the Sales Order module if you have indicated that the unit of measure must be requested for order quantities (Sales Orders Setup).

For example: If your item is stocked as Each and sold in Dozens or Boxes (5 per box), then you would set up the other unit of measure table conversion as follows:

This lets you define your bill of materials in a format relevant to the way in which you manufacture an item. Transactions are always calculated in the stocking unit of measure before being converted to the manufacturing unit of measure for display and reporting purposes.

You can configure a manufacturing unit of measure against the parent item as well as any attached components. If you enable the Use manufacturing unit of measure setup option, then components added to a bill of material default to using the manufacturing unit of measure defined against them. Each route can have a separate parent unit of measure with components related to that parent (i.e. this lets you define all the combinations you use to manufacture an item).

Once a quantity is captured in the manufacturing unit of measure, it is stored in a manufacturing unit of measure entered quantity field and converted back to the stocking unit of measure according to your inventory conversion factors (i.e. the stocking unit of measure is retained, enabling you report on either the stocking or the manufacturing unit of measure).

You can only define manufacturing units of measure if you enable the Use manufacturing unit of measure option (Work in Progress Setup). Although manufacturing unit of measure functionality is available throughout the manufacturing modules, the Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Quotations and Inventory modules are all held in the stocking unit of measure. Manufacturing unit of measure entered quantities replace existing quantities on reports when printing by manufacturing unit of measure. Manufacturing unit of measure quantity columns in list views display the manufacturing unit of measure, enabling you to view both the stocking and manufacturing unit of measure quantities where applicable. A manufacturing unit of measure cannot be defined for the following part categories: Planning bill Kit part Phantom part Notional part Bin allocations are allocated in the stocking unit of measure. Quantities for lots, bins and serials always remain in the stocking unit of measure.

This indicates the number of decimals to which you want to store and print stock quantities.

When converting between the different units of measure defined for the stock item, quantities are always rounded to the number of decimals defined here when the option: Round WIP allocations is enabled (Inventory Setup).

Stock code related quantities are displayed in list views to the number of decimals you define here, providing you enabled the Edit quantities using decimals option (Company Setup).

The maximum number of decimals defined here should equal the Maximum number of decimals if that is defined. Refer to the example against the Maximum number of decimals option (Inventory Setup).

Enable this to handle and display quantities of the stock code as units of the stocking and alternate unit of measure, rather than as units and decimal places.

For example: If an item is stocked in cases with an alternate unit of measure of 12 bottles per case, then a quantity of 2.5 is presented as 2/06, or entered as two fields - one for 2 and one for 6 (i.e. no decimal places are allowed on either the stocking or alternate unit of measure).

When entering this type of stock code during sales order entry, the system requests the entry of quantities in two separate fields - the primary quantity is always in the stocking unit of measure, followed by the equivalent alternate unit of measure where decimal places would previously have been entered.

The same procedure applies to Stock Takes, Inventory Movements, Purchase Orders and Dispatch Notes. It is not possible to enter a job for anything other than units of the stocking quantity.

	The alternate unit of measure must be less than the stocking unit of measure. No decimal places can be used in either the stocking or the alternate units of measure. Pricing of the sales order line is always in terms of the stocking unit of measure.

It can also be used to change the sequence in which items are displayed when browsing on stock codes.

You can change the wording displayed for this field to suit your own requirements (Inventory Setup).

It can also be used to change the sequence in which items are displayed when browsing on stock codes.

You can change the wording displayed for this field to suit your own requirements (Inventory Setup).

If you enabled the Record movements for bin transfers option (Inventory Setup) then details of bin transfers within the same warehouse are retained.

A listing of stock movements can be printed using the Inventory Movement and Kardex Report programs.

This indicates the code of the person responsible for purchasing the stock item.

It is used as a selection criterion for stock codes printed on various Requirements Planning reports.

This defaults from the Operators program, if a buyer has been setup against the operator.

The buyer defined against the operator will only be used when adding a new stock code, not when maintaining a stock code.

It is also used in the EC VAT system and is an important data field on the Supplementary Declarations report - identifying goods that are the subject of a dispatch or arrival.

A number of tariff codes require the declaration of a supplementary unit (e.g. the number of pieces, liters or cubic meters). A supplementary unit is generally required when it is a more appropriate measure of particular goods than the net mass and allows a greater degree of comparison and analysis.

When adding a sales order line for a stock item that requires supplementary units, the supplementary unit code is passed to the order line from the stock code. A factor can then be added for calculating the supplementary unit quantity.

When invoicing, the supplementary unit information is saved and made available for printing on the EC Sales reports.

When receipting a purchase order, the supplementary unit information is requested, saved and made available for printing on the EC Declaration of Arrivals report.

The field can be blank, but if entered must be a valid supplementary code (see Intrastat Supplementary Units).

This indicates that the stock item is required in the Landed Cost Tracking system. It can only be selected for bought-out items.

For bought-out items, you enter the number of days it takes the supplier to deliver the item from the date the order is placed. This must be manually buffered for non-working days (e.g. if your supplier takes 3 days from date of order to delivery, this represents 3 working days. You will therefore need to buffer the lead time to account for weekends).

For made-in items, you use the Lead Time Calculation program to calculate and update the lead time. The program calculates a ratio of working to non-working days and applies this when calculating the lead time for an item (i.e. you do not need to buffer the lead time for made-in items if you are using the Lead Time Calculation program to update this field).

The lead time is used in the calculation performed by the Inventory Minimum Quantity Calculation program to establish the minimum quantity required for each stock code and warehouse. It is also used in the Requirements Planning and Bill of Materials modules.

Select the relevant expense type for the stock code. This indicates if the product supplied is a goods or service.

This only applies when the Withholding tax required option is enabled (Company Tax Options Setup).

Non-working days per the factory calendar are taken into account when the delivery date is calculated to add to the ship date.

Enter the required batching rule for the item. This is used to calculate an order quantity for the item when shortages are encountered.

Batching rules are applied to MPS items when producing the MRP Master Production Schedule, unless you are including Build schedules in the requirements calculation (Requirements Planning Setup).

They are applied to non-MPS items when running the Requirements Calculation program.

SYSPRO does not allow any order policy to exceed the Maximum quantity defined (Inventory Warehouse Maintenance for Stock Code). SYSPRO reserves buying rules from A to Q. Any buying rule entered beyond this range is treated as buying rule A. The fixed time period in a time-phased batching rule is ignored by the MRP Master Production Schedule and MPS Review programs because they use variable time period lengths. The fixed time portion of the batching rule is applied only in the Requirements Calculation. An MPS item with a buying rule of C is treated as if the rule was A. Buying rules K, L, M, and N revert to rules B, F, G, and H respectively.

If you are using Inventory Optimization then the following batching rules are used in Requirements Planning in relation to the maximum level:

For example: A fixed time period of 1 day indicates that if a shortage is encountered, then the total shortage for today and the next working day is used as if the shortage falls today.

The entry made here is used for all time-based buying rules (i.e. C, K, L, M and N) within the Requirements Planning module.

	The fixed time period is ignored when the order policy is M - Order to max if less than min or S - Order to max if shortage.

It is used by the Superseded-Clearing Stock report as a criterion according to which stock items are selected for printing.

When you use the Stock Take Selection program to select stock items for a stock take, you can indicate that you only want to include items with a specific quantity cycle count in a stock take.

It can also be used as a selection criterion for reporting purposes.

The report indicates which are your most used and least used items, enabling you to determine what quantities of selected stock items should be included in your inventory.

This field applies only to MPS items and is used in the MPS Review program to calculate the gross requirement.

For example: If a stock code has a percent yield of 50 and in the MPS Review program there is a net requirement of 10, the MPS Review program uses the yield percentage to calculate a gross requirement of 20 in order to meet the demand of 10.

Floorstock items must be stocked in the warehouse defined as the floorstock warehouse (Work in Progress Setup).

Option	Description
Floorstock item	This indicates that the item can be issued automatically to a job upon confirmation of the job. It is included in the costing process. The warehouse quantity is reduced when a floorstock item is issued and a journal is created. A serialized or traceable item cannot be defined as being a Floorstock item. Regardless of your warehouse settings or your selection at the Stock on hand allowed to go negative option (Inventory Setup) floorstock items that are stocked in the floorstock warehouse (Work in Progress Setup) will always be allowed to go negative at the time of confirming a job (Job Issues) or when Backflushing (Inventory Movements). For other types of transactions, floorstock items are treated in the same manner as any other stock item. Therefore if stock on hand is not allowed to go negative and there is insufficient stock, you will be unable to process those transactions.
Bulk issue item	This indicates that the item can be issued automatically as a material allocation to a job without affecting the on hand quantity of the item. The item is included as a component in the costing process. A serialized or traceable item cannot be defined as being a Bulk issue item. You would typically define a consumable item as a bulk issue item. This enables you to include the consumable in the cost of a job without forcing you to keep accurate inventory of the item. No direct debit and credit journal entries are posted for bulk issue items since there is no quantity moved out of the warehouse to the job. However, any cost associated with a bulk issue item is included in the cost of the parent in the BOM (it is calculated and rolled up to the parent's material cost) and, by extension, when a job is created it is part of the expected cost of materials. To ensure that costs exist to be cleared at job closure, the value of materials issued to the job is updated with the cost of the bulk issue and an entry is made in the job postings record. The updating of the cost is what creates the variance at the point of closing the job. Typically because bulk issue items are of little or no value, this is cleared with automatic variance clearing when the job is completed. The automatic variance follows the rules indicated in WIP for clearing variances (Work in Progress Setup). If the cost remaining on the job is within these boundaries, it will be automatically cleared (i.e. the WIP Control account will be credited and the WIP Variance account debited). If the value of the variance exceeds the rules then this variance must be cleared using the Job Closure program). The assumption on bulk issue items is that they should only be used for consumables. If quantities and values are required to be tracked, then you need to define the item as floorstock. When you confirm a job, bulk issue items specified against the Bill of Materials are issued to the job automatically. If you want to delete the job, you need to reverse the bulk issue allocation before doing so, even though no journals were created. A job cannot be deleted until all the allocations are reversed. The warehouse quantity is not reduced when a bulk issue item is issued and no journal is created. Once a job is confirmed, then any additional issue or reversal of a bulk issue item affects the stock on hand (i.e. the bulk issue item is treated as any other stock item). See Bulk issue items.
Neither	This indicates that the item is neither a floorstock or bulk issue item.

A Soft phantom can only have a Part category of Made-in, Bought-out or Subcontracted, so a job can be made for it, it can be stocked, and it can be sold, where a “normal” Phantom part cannot.

When a Soft phantom is set as a Component against the Parent part in a Bill of Materials, it is not attached to the job as an allocation, but it is exploded through and its components are attached to the job as allocations. It is also recognised by MRP, which will explode it into its component parts. Its labor costs are not inherited by the parent part.

You can define operations against a Soft phantom in a Bill of Materials. The reason for doing so is that when a job is made for it, you want the Manufacturing costs, Operations costs, to be allocated to it when manufacturing it. The normal Parent at the higher level will include any extra hours of labour, etc., required for these components. If it is essential to track the labour costs at the soft phantom level in a structure, then this should not be a soft phantom, but rather a normal sub assembly.

Note that Sub jobs are not allowed for a Soft phantom Component and a Soft phantom can only be added as a component in a BOM in the Stocking unit of measure.

Typically a phantom is included in a BOM structure to simplify the structure. A Soft phantom is an easy way to setup a Bill of materials once only, where this item is made and sold, and where it is used as a Material allocation in many other Bills of Materials. It makes maintenance for all the Bills of Materials in which it is attached a lot easier, as only the Soft phantom needs to be changed if required, and all the affected Bills of Materials are automatically updated. Where it is set as a Component it is treated like any other component (i.e. material cost only).

When used as a Parent part, the soft phantom item is treated as a normal stock item with the following exceptions:

This indicates the number of days it takes to manufacture a made-in stock item, assuming that all the raw materials are available. It is the longest cumulative manufacturing time, established from the sum of the elapsed time and inter-operation movement time for all levels of the bill of materials (i.e. the manufacturing lead time is calculated according to the operation times).

For make-to-order items, the manufacturing lead time is the total time between the release of an order to the production process and shipment to the customer. For make-to-stock items, it is the length of time between the release of an order to the production process and receipt into inventory.

For made-in items, you use the Lead Time Calculation program to calculate and update the lead time. The program calculates a ratio of working to non-working days and applies this when calculating the lead time for an item. This means that you do not need to buffer the lead time for made in items if you are using the Lead Time Calculation program to update this field.

You can use the planner as a selection criterion in various Requirements Planning reports.

This resource parent is applied only to new build schedules; existing build schedules must be maintained to reflect the resource parent.

The resource code is used by the Resource Planning system and is validated only if the Requirements Planning module is installed.

This indicates the default account to which you want to post the value of work in progress when a job is created for this stock item.

If not defined against the stock item, then the WIP ledger control account (General Ledger Integration) is used as the default instead. However, at the time of creating the job the ledger code entered at the WIP ledger code field overrides these defaults.

This field is validated if Inventory is linked to General Ledger.

Job classifications enable you to group your jobs according to similar characteristics. In addition, you can optionally specify that job numbering must take place according to the job classification (Set Key Information).

You can also configure security access settings by job classification, to restrict the unauthorized processing of jobs and allocations (i.e. viewing, adding, changing, importing, canceling and posting).

This establishes the price or discount code applicable to the stock code (depending on the pricing method) by locating the corresponding entry in the customer's price category/code table.

For example: When defining a pricing category of E against a stock code, the price/discount code entered against E on the customer's price category/code table is the code that is applied when selling items with that pricing category to the customer.

(See also: Pricing and Discounts).

This indicates the list price for the item. Discounts for the stock code can be based on this price during sales order entry processing.

	The full stop character is reserved for manual pricing and cannot be used. The exclamation mark character is reserved for contract pricing and cannot be used.

This indicates the percentage of commission you want to apply against a sale of the stock item, if the commission is based on the price for the stock item (Sales Orders Setup).

An entry of 0 indicates that you do not want to calculate commission.

This can be blank if you enabled the Allow blank list price codes option (Inventory Setup).

The List price code basis applies the discount percentage to the list price held against the stock item only if the stock code Pricing method is set to Discounted.

The stock code must exist before the price code can be captured, so this field is only enabled when maintaining a stock code.

The minimum percentage above cost defined against the item is used only if you indicated that the stock code margin (instead of the company margin) must be used (Sales Orders Setup).

You can indicate whether the margin check is based on the gross or net value and you can override this margin if you indicated that this override is allowed (Sales Orders Setup).

Tax codes are maintained using the Tax Code Setup program.

The Descriptive tax code must be used if defined (Descriptive Tax Code Browse/Maintenance).

If the customer is defined as taxable, then the rate for the tax code entered in this field is applied by the Sales Order Entry program when the item is sold to that customer.

If the customer is defined as non-taxable (Customers) then this tax code is ignored and the customer is not charged tax on the item.

	If you do not assign default tax codes to a stock item, then the system assumes that the item is exempt from tax. In addition, if you select the Tax by geographic area option (Company Tax Options Setup) the system disregards the tax code assigned to the geographic area when calculating tax for that item on a sales order.

The Descriptive tax code must be used if defined (Descriptive Tax Code Browse/Maintenance).

This enables you to define different rates of tax for this item and then apply these rates to different customers when using the Sales Order Entry program. You need to select the option: Other tax code against those customers for whom you want to apply the Other tax code rate (Customers).

For example:

Assume that only selected customers purchase the item with inclusive tax.

When processing sales orders for the item:

When processing requisitions and purchase orders for the item, the default tax code or all suppliers will be Tax code C - 14% exclusive.

Sales order entry always uses route 0. To sell Kit type items, therefore, route 0 must be used for the bill of materials.

It is used in the calculations performed by the Master Production Schedule.

An entry of 0 means the field is ignored, or the stock code is not a make-to-order item.

This is required for reporting supplementary declarations.

The entry here is used as the default unless a nationality code is defined against the warehouse (in which case that will be used as the default country of origin).

This is used as a possible source of supply when importing orders into SYSPRO (using the Post to a Sales Order business object) if no warehouse is specified against individual stock lines, or on the order header.

If left blank, then the warehouse specified at the Warehouse to use field is used as the default.

You can also indicate that this warehouse must be used as the default warehouse for displaying quantities when browsing on stock items (Inventory Setup).

When a returnable item is sold, the warehouse quantity is reduced and a journal is created.

If you enabled the Multiple bins option (Inventory Setup) then stock of a returnable item is always depleted from the bin that has the same name as the warehouse. Stock must be transferred into this bin manually.

You define the warehouse from which returnable items are depleted in the (Sales Orders Setup) program.

If you select this option, then the Maximum number of decimals for the returnable item must be set to zero.

A returnable item cannot be a kit part, traceable, serialized, ECC-controlled, or defined with unit quantity processing.

	Stock for returnable items sold as part of a service charge is always allowed to go negative, regardless of your costing method or selection at the Stock on hand allowed to go negative option (Inventory Setup). If not sold as part of a service charge (i.e. it is sold or issued in its own right) and stock on hand is not allowed to go negative, then stock must be available.

This indicates the rate defined against the GST code and is displayed for information purposes.

This indicates the description for the GST code and is displayed for information purposes.

This indicates whether the calculated tax amount must be included in the price of the item during sales order processing.

Trade promotion prices can be applied to specific stock items, product classes, product groups or departments. This means that different prices can be defined for a single stock item. The options on this tab enable you to select the trade promotions price that must apply to this specific stock item.

For example:

You used the Browse on Prices program to define the following three trade promotion price breaks for stock item A100:

Stock item A100 belongs to product group Bicycles and to product class BA, so all these prices apply to stock item A100.

You use the Price type and Price basis options against the stock item to select which price you want to apply for stock item A100. Therefore, if you wanted to apply price break 1, then you select Price type = Product group and Price basis = Quantity. Similarly, if you wanted to apply price break 2, then you select Price type = Stock code and Price basis = Mass.

	The price type and price basis for the stock item must match the price type and price basis defined against the price break for the price to be applied when selling the item.

If two stock codes have the same priority then they will be consumed alphabetically. This will continue until either the order quantity is depleted or the substitution quantity is depleted.

If the original order quantity is not fulfilled, then the order quantity on the original sales order line is reduced.

Any changes to the item within a bill of materials can only be made by means of an engineering change order.

You cannot set a stock item to be ECC-controlled if it is in transit between warehouses or currently forms part of a stock take to be ECC-controlled.

Engineering change control tracking information (revisions/releases) for an item is only retained from the time the item is set to be ECC-controlled.

You can use the ECC Set ECC Control for Stock Codes program to set multiple stock items to be ECC-controlled.

This enables you to notify the appropriate person(s) of changes to the status of stock codes under their control.

If this field is left blank, then the default ECC user configured within the Bill of Materials Setup program is used.

The revision is used to indicate design changes made to the stock item.

The format can be defined as Alphanumeric or Numeric (Set Key Information).

	You can only access this field if the item is not ECC-controlled, or you are adding a new item which must be ECC-controlled. Once defined, the revision for an ECC-controlled item can only be changed using the Engineering Change Control module. You cannot access this field if engineering changes are being controlled at stock code level (Bill of Materials Setup).

The release is used to indicate minor design changes to the stock item.

The format can be defined as Alphanumeric or Numeric (Set Key Information).

	You can only access this field if the item is not ECC-controlled, or you are adding a new item which must be ECC-controlled. Once defined, the release for an ECC-controlled item can only be changed using the Engineering Change Control module. You cannot access this field if engineering changes are being controlled at stock code level or at revision level (Bill of Materials Setup).

Tracking manual serial numbers at stock code level enables you to create sequential ranges of manual serial numbers for each serialized stock item.

Ranges of serial numbers are created according to the Prefix and Next suffix defined against each individual serialized stock item.

For example:

Creating a range of three manual serial numbers will be generated as: 22001, 22002 and 22003. The next range of manual serials numbers created would begin with 22004.

	Although up to 15 characters can be used for either the prefix or the next suffix, the combination cannot exceed 20 characters. Defining a prefix and suffix does not prevent you from creating serial numbers with a different format. The prefix cannot start with a space and the suffix must be numeric.

The next suffix field is updated once a new range of serials has been added to the system for any manual serialized item for the specified prefix.

	The number of numeric characters entered for the suffix must cater for the total quantity of serial numbers you want to add using the defined prefix (e.g. a suffix of 1 allows you to add 9 serials for the prefix you defined).

This option is not displayed once you have added a field to the form, but can be accessed using the Field Selector function from the context menu (Alt+F7).

This indicates the total cost of all materials for items included in the stock item's structure. It is updated for all parent parts by the Cost Implosion program, unless you selected the Manualcost option.

This indicates the total cost of all fixed overheads for items included in the stock item's structure. It is updated for all parent parts by the Cost Implosion program, unless you selected the Manualcost option.

This indicates the total cost of all variable overheads for items included in the stock item's structure. It is updated for all parent parts by the Cost Implosion program, unless you selected the Manualcost option.

This indicates the total cost of all subcontract operations for items included in the stock item's structure. It is updated for all parent parts by the Cost Implosion program, unless you selected the Manualcost option.

This field is only enabled if you selected to split subcontract operation costs from material costs (Bill of Materials Setup).

This cannot be applied to co-products or notional parts.

The Activity based costing required option must be enabled (Bill of Materials Setup).

(See also: Activity Based Costing Introduction).

Select this to updated costs manually as required (i.e. the Cost Implosion program will not be used to update the BOM costs defined against this stock item).

This field is disabled when the Apply warehouse BOM costs option is enabled (Inventory Setup).

You use these fields to indicate extra information to assign to the item.

You can specify your own wording for these fields using the Inventory Setup program.
