You are here : Materials > Material Masters > Item Master Basic Details -
This is the master which maintains all your Items. In other words, Item Master is a detailed collection of items right from the finished state to the smallest of raw material required during the manufacturing process. It allows to group and sub group Items as per the client’s typical functioning. Apart from this, it also specifies whether Work Order is needed for an item or not, Quality Control is required or not and its inward and heat numbers details. Item Master specially takes care of Dimension Items (Items which are consumed in terms of their dimensions) by maintaining their Density and individual dimensions.
Let us assume, we want to assembly a mountain bicycle. So, in this case, the bicycle becomes a Finished Item that is made up various parts as follows -
Please refer the following table for a list of main parts and their components -
Handlebar Grip, Shifter, Stem, Brake Lever
Seat Post
The Mountain Bicycle should be defined as the 'Assembly' item in the Item Master.
Each of the main parts of the bicycle in turn is made up of certain other components which are either bought out or manufactured. So, the main parts of a bicycle can be considered as assemblies that need to be manufactured individually. These main parts should be defined as 'Assembly' in Item Master. Once all the main parts are ready, a bicycle can be assembled in to a saleable finished item.
Therefore, Frame, Handlebar Set, Wheels & Tires, Suspension and Saddle should be defined as the 'Assemblies' in the Item Master.
Lets us assume that the spoke, rim, hub, tire and valve are bought and assembled to make the wheels of a bicycle.So, in this case, spoke, rim, hub, tire and valve become the bought-out items and should be defined as 'Bought out' items in the Item Master.
Certain items such as the Pedals & Brakes of a bicycle, may require a product structure as it is made up of certain components but the company decides to buy it from outside instead of manufacturing it. Such items should be defined as the 'Ready Sub Assembly' in the Item Master.
The frame of a bicycle is made up of various tubes that have specific size and shape as follows:
So these tubes which will be consumed in terms of their dimensions should be defined as 'Dimension Item' in Item Master along with their individual sizes.
Now, there are certain items that may have multiple options depending on the customer's requirement. Lets assume that the bicycle comes with saddles in two different colours, black and blue. So, the 'Saddle Colour' should be defined as a 'Feature Item' whereas the 'Blue saddle' and the 'Black saddle' should be defined as the 'Manufacture' items in the Item Master.
Lets continue with the saddle. Providing blue and black coloured saddles requires dyeing of the leather which is not performed by your company. So, in this case, the uncoloured saddle needs to be out sourced to the third party to perform various processes on them, dyeing in this case. Such items, in this case 'Uncoloured Saddle', should be defined as 'Bought Out' in the Item Master which is sent for the process of dyeing and dyed or coloured saddle is received back.
By default, a list of all Items that have been defined till now will be displayed as follows -
Enter any text you want to search in the list below. The search is applicable to all columns of the list. Once the text is entered, press <ENTER> key. As a result, the list will be refreshed with all those records that contain the entered text fully or partially. In order to go back to the original list, remove the text from the box and press <ENTER> key again.
Items can be added, edited, deleted and viewed in this master provided the Role associated with the currently logged-in user through User Management has the respective rights to do so. These actions are explained as under -
