Item Attributes
Item Attributes
Previous Next Contents Index Glossary Library
The status attributes are related to the item defining attributes. You cannot enable a
status attribute if you do not set the corresponding item defining attribute to Yes.
You set status control for a status attribute with the Item Attributes Control window.
Interdependences for Status Attributes
Each status attribute is dependent on the value of at least one other attribute. For
example, you cannot set Stockable to Yes if you set Inventory Item to No. The
interdependences for the status attributes are:
Must be set
Attribute If
to
Stockable No Inventory Item is set to No
Transactable No Stockable is set to No
Purchasable No Purchased is set to No
Build in WIP No Inventory Item is set to No OR BOM Item Type is NOT
set to Standard
Customer Orders No Customer Ordered Item is set to No
Enabled
Internal Orders No Internal Ordered Item is set to No
Enabled
BOM Allowed No Inventory Item is set to No
Invoice Enabled No Invoiceable Item is set to No
When defining an item, you can use the item attribute Item Status to control status
attribute values. You determine the list of values for the Item Status attribute by
defining Item Status Codes. An Item Status Code has a user-defined set of Yes/No
values for the status attributes. The values are applied to the status attributes when you
choose an Item Status Code when defining an item. For example, assume you define
an Item Status named Prototype with all status attributes set to Yesexcept
for Customer Orders Enabled. Next, you define another Item Status, Active, with all
status attributes set to Yes. In the beginning of a product development cycle, assign the
status code Prototype to an item so that you cannot place the item on a sales order.
Later, assign the status code Active to allow all functions for the item. See: Defining
Item Status Codes.
Pending Statuses
Use pending statuses to automatically update an item's status on a specified date. For
each item, specify a list of pending statuses and the corresponding effective dates.
See: Defining and Viewing Pending Statuses.
