Add barcode in the item master data

Hi All
we have a field in the item master data called Bar Code. if you have several hundred thousand items in the database how do you assign a barcode for each item? do you enter the barcode manually for each item or is there any other way to enter this item's barcode automatically when the item is added into ware house? if you have enter manually the barcode how we should follow with the number of characters in the field? is that should look like exactly on the barcode label when you print? or we need to follow our own naming convention in using the numbers?
thanks

"Req. Inv. Level" in the Item Master Data - Inventory Data

Dear All,
Would like to ask what is the function of the "Req. Inv. Level" in the Item Master Data -> Inventory Data ??
What is the different with Min. Inventory?
And what is the different with Item Master Data -> Planning Data -> Minimum Order Qty ??
Thank you very much!!!

Dear All,
Thank you for your reply.
i found something strange for the MRP, it is as the following:
at 06.11.2009, i have created 1 SO : SO123
qty: 150
due date: 10.11.2009
for the Minimum Order Qty in Planning Data: 200
Lead time: 2 days
when i run MRP, it can show at 10.11.2009, qty 200 is needed to be purchase (it match the Minimum Order Qty in Planning Data:200)
But when i set the lead time to be 10 days), it only show at 10.11.2009, qty 150 is needed (in red font).
Question: seems if the date for the material to arrive (06.11.2009+10 days = 16.11.2009, which is excess the due date of the SO 10.11.2009) is over the due date (10.11.2009) then the MRP will just show qty150 instead of showing qty 200 (the Minimum Order Qty) ? so after that when create the PO by using Order Recommendation Report, it qty in the PO is 150 only, but not 200.
is it how the MRP in B1 works?
thank you very much!!

Incorrect "Ordered" quantity in the item master data

Hello Experts,
I have a situation where there are two items we have found that show the incorrect ordered quantity in the item master data. This is in fact the ordered column and the items are not production items. One of the items is showing a negative quantity and the other is showing 50,000 LBs less than it should given the one open production order with NO GRPO documents linked. Please advise ASAP..
Thank you,
Taylor

Hi,
You need to check the detect query and the scenarios in the Note No. : 999124.
If the detect query of the Note returns result, you need to log a support ticket to get the database investigated.

Importing pictures into the item master data

Hello, everyone,
I want to import pictures into the items master data - does anyone know which size the picture should have?
The problem is - i just tested it with some pics of 640x480, but the placeholder in the item data must be smaller, so the picture is scaled down and as result of that it doesn't look good (the colors are falsified and there are also some artifacts). If I double-click the picture and it's opened in an own window in its original resolution - everything is fine..but i want a good quality of the picture in the item data already.
So my first idea was to make pictures of the resolution of that placeholder in SBO, but i don't know how to get this. Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Leon Detzel

Hi Ulrich
The picture size does not matter, but rather a setting in Administration > System Initialization > General settings > Display TAB. On this tab you will find a setting with a drop down called "Ext. Image Processing". Set this to full and the full quality of any pictures will be used, but of course resized to fit the field. Bear in mind that images are not embedded in the tables but only the file name of the image is stored in the table.
Kind regards

Using DTW to update the Item Master Data attachment tab

Hi Experts,
Has anyone tried using DTW to update the Attachments Tab on the Item Master Data please? I tried a few things (similar to importing an attachment to an activity) and couldn't get it to work.
I couldn't see that anything to do with the Attachments Tab was exposed in DTW when looking at the mapping fields and also when looking through the options available in the Items Object under Customize Templates - but then I might not be seeing it correctly!
Any ideas or solutions would be great.
Many thanks,
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
AtcEntry is correct for the document, this relates to the AbsEntry in OATC, which then in turn links to AbsEntry in ATC1.
There are a few fields that need to be populated in ATC1:
AbsEntry
Line - To be used if more than 1 Attachment
SrcPath - for the file path
Filename - for the file name
FileExt - for file type - i.e. .pdf
You may be able to configure DTW to import these as a manually created DTW but I suspect that OATC and ATC1 are not open to the Di which will stop it. Coincidently I have been looking at Task Centre to update these but have encountered the same problem

How to erase the definition of a standard warehouse within item master data

Dear Community,
I got a short question. We want to use the user definition in order to pick the right warehouse when we create a purchase or any other kind of document.
Right now the customer defined the standard warehouse within the item master data.
In order to use the definition stored within the user data it seems as if we have to delete the standard-entry within the item master data.
So far I could not find a possibility to erase that.
Can you help me with that problem??
Cheers, daniel

If you have nos of records.then make CSV file for DTW and update all item warehouse in item master.
if you get any issue form will help you .
i have done same many times .
manually:-
Add another warehouse in master make default it then delete it so you can remove default option in master.
Manually,
Make a FMS whenever user select item(On every transaction Docuement) then warehouse field become blank and blank warehouse we cant add the document so here user select warehouse which he want.
Thanks

Item Master Data Best Practice

hello all
we are now using SBO for more than a year, and yet we still always add new items in our item master data. what is the best practice on maintaining the item master data. for you to understand this is the scenario. since in the Factory/Mill there are a lot of spare parts and equipments there, if some of this equipments is damage, we have to buy a new one, here the problem occur because if it only differ in Part Numbers we use another item code for it. with this practice, at later part we found out that we have more than 1 item code for only one item because of the naming convention. so we have to hold the other item code and use the other one coz we cant delete it anymore. sometimes 1 itemcode occurrs only once in the in the item history.
please suggest what is the best Practice on this matter.
1. Item Grouping
2. Naming Convention
etc..
NOTE:
our goal is minimize adding of items in item master data.
FIDEL

FIDEL,
From what I understand, you have to replace broken / damaged component of an item like Bulldozer, Payloader and mill turbines. This is the reason why you defined the parts as a new item.
From your Item code examples, I am not clear why you have 2 different names for the same item. and also what you mean by "this two item codes are actually the same,
If you are just buying parts to replace components and if you do not need to track them then I would suggest you create generic itemcodes in the Item master and simply change the description when you buy / sell them.
Example: Same Item different description.
REPL101 OIL FILTER
REPL101 FUEL FILTER
REPL101 xxxxx
This way you are not going to keep creating items in the database and also you can see the description and know what it was.
Simply change the ItemName in the marketing document and instead of pressing Tab to move to the next column Press CTRL+Tab so that SAP does not auto check then ewly typed name against the item master.
Let me know if your scnenario is otherwise

Unable to update item master data after upgrade

Greetings,
I have just upgraded from 2005A SP01 PL22 to 8.81 PL05.
After the upgrade, I am unable to update any field in the item master data.
Error message:
In "Warehouses - Setup" window, on "Accounting" tab, choose sales-type revenue account , '_SYS00000001165' [Message 131-52]
I have checked all the warehouses accounting tab and all the revenue account is a sales type account. I have also checked the GL for _SYS00000001165 and it is a COGS GL. After I change its type to "Sales", I am able to update. This shouldn't be the case.
I have also tested creating and update new item master and I have no problem. However, I will have the same problem if i add a new item via duplicating from an old item.
Any advice?
Thank you.

Hi,
Can you also check whether the Item which you are trying to update has Manage G\L Account by as Item, Item group or Warehouse?
If you have checked for the Warehouses, check for the Item Group and at the G\L Determination > Inventory tab as well.

Translation of UoM in Item Master Data

Hi all,
Problem:
Our customer uses multi-language support. In the item master data they use the purchasing and sales UoM which is printed on the marketing documents. For example "ST" in German corresponds to "pc" in French (piece). They need to go into each item one by one and enter the translation even if the UoM is always the same.
Possible solution:
A table behind the UoM field so that you can select from a drop down list. You would then need to translate each entry in the table just once.
Best regards,
Gunther

Automatically Update a UDF in the Item Master

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP Business One. I need to update automatically the value of a UDF. The value will be calculated using data from related tables. Calculation includes -summation, divide and minus etc. Could you provide guide.
For example a new UDF should contain the suggested quantity to order in the Item Master Data. This is calculated considering the running average sales quantity as of current time for this month and deduct the available quantity on hand and also deduct the quantity already ordered (arriving soon to be delivered to warehouse).
Formula:      = ( S / N ) * D - ( OnHand ) - ( Ordered )
where   S = Quantity sold so far within this month
              N = days count ( if today is March 18, N = 18 )
              D = number of days for this month. (can be 28, 30 or 31 days)
This means that the data in the database must also be updated. I appreciate your input.
If possible, the OITW, MinOrder will be updated instead of a UDF.

Haven't tested it properly, but something like this....
select
(s0.qty / datepart(day,getdate())) * datepart(day,(DateAdd(day, -1, DateAdd(month, DateDiff(month, 0, getdate())+1, 0)))) - t0.onhand - t0.onorder
from
oitm t0
left join
(select     t0.itemcode,
          sum(t0.quantity) as qty
          from inv1 t0
          inner join
          oinv t1
          on t0.docentry = t1.docentry
          where datepart(month,t1.docdate) = datepart(month,getdate())
          and datepart(year,t1.docdate) = datepart(year,getdate())
          group by t0.itemcode) s0
on t0.itemcode = s0.itemcode
where t0.itemcode = $[OITM.ITEMCODE]
Currently this adds up the qty from all invoices, if you want to subtract credit notes you just have to build in a second subselect from ORIN and RIN1 and subtract them off.
Hope this helps.

Linking UDO to Item Master Data

Hello Everyone
I just created a User Define Object to store alternative codes for items. In the master data i put all the itemcodes and a description. In the Master Data rows I store all the alternative codes and the supplier that item can have. Sometimes they are few alternativa codes, sometimes a lot
Now I want for the these UDO be related to the Item Master Data so it can me update in the same place. Any ideas?

Ok. These how the UDO works now:
In the master data level, i use the itemcode. When i double click the line, it takes me to another table with the alternative codes for that specific itemcode only
I added a UDF to the item master date and linked to the table (i tried linking them to the udo but could not find how) so it shows all the rows in the table, not just the ones matching that item. I tried with 2 UDF but still could not relate the two. Any ideas how???
Can it be done with the Screen Painter?? Where can i fin documentation about the Screen Painter usage?? I only found documentation on installation
