The document discusses item master data in SAP Business One. It describes how item master data records store essential information about items, including whether an item can be purchased, sold or stored in inventory. It also explains how to set up key fields in the item master record, such as the item group, unit of measure, price list, warehouses, serial/batch numbers, stock valuation method, and general ledger account determination. The document also provides an overview of inventory transactions such as goods receipt, goods issue, inventory transfers, and inventory counting.

ITEM MASTER DATA
SAP Business One enables you to manage all the items that you purchase,
manufacture, sell, or keep in stock.
 The way we define what these items are and how they are handled is
through the item master data record.
 An item master data record is created for each product and identified with a
unique code. You would create an item master for a product at the level of a
universal product code or a catalog number.
 Item master data is at the heart of almost every process in SAP Business
One. It controls how the item acts in the sales, purchasing, production, MRP,
inventory, and service modules.
 An item master data record stores essential information such as if the item
is purchased or sold, the price of the item, the inventory level, and how
purchasing of the item is forecast and planned.
 This data is used automatically by the system in the processes for
purchasing, sales, production, managing your warehouse, and accounting

Like other types of
master data, such as the
business partner, there
are two main sections in
an item master record:
the header and the tabs.
 The header
contains general
information about
the item. A unique
ID number must be
assigned as the
code.
 The tabs contain

ITEM CATEGORIES
The header is also where you can assign item
categories. The item categories control whether that
item can be purchased, sold, or stored in inventory. An
item can belong to multiple categories.

ITEM GROUP
Arrange the items into groups. Assign an item to one group only.
You can use the Item Group later for reports and evaluations.

PRICELIST
SAP Business One provides ten predefined price lists.
Adding, changing, or deleting these prices enables
you to map a pricing tactic in SAP Business One.
Using all or a few of the defined price lists is optional.
Furthermore, the following two price lists are
automatically created and calculated by SAP Business
One and cannot be manually changed:
Last Purchase Price:- This price list is automatically
updated when an item enters the inventory with an
original price.
Last Evaluated Price:- This price list is automatically
updated after you run the Inventory Valuation
simulation report.

G/L ACCOUNT DETERMINATION
 On the Inventory tab of the item master record, you specify the G/L account determination.
• The accounts are defined in a matrix per item and per warehouse. You can set one of the
warehouses as default warehouse. The system will use the default warehouse when you
create a document.
• If you did not set a default warehouse the system uses the first warehouse as default.
 To simplify the account determination, you can specify these accounts on item level and
enter them directly into the item master record.
• Choose Inventory  Item Master Data and choose the Inventory tab. This enables
detailed account determination but also involves much maintenance work.
To simplify the account determination, in every item master record you can specify that the
accounts are retrieved from a higher level:
• Warehouse level: In this case the system automatically retrieves the accounts from the
warehouse definition. To maintain the accounts in the warehouse definition, choose
Administration  Setup  Inventory  Warehouses and choose the Accounting tab.
• Item group level: In this case the system automatically retrieves the accounts from the
item group definition. To maintain the accounts in the item group definition, choose
Administration  Setup  Inventory  Item Groups and choose the Accounting tab.
 You can define default accounts under Administration  Setup  Financials  G/L
Account Determination – these values are defaulted for all levels (warehouse level, item group
level, and item level).

BIN LOCATION
 A bin location is the smallest addressable unit of space in a
warehouse where your goods are stored
 With SAP Business One, you can manage bin locations for your
warehouses. In order to provide you with more flexibility in inventory
management.

20.  SAP AG 2007
STOCK VALUATION METHOD (2)
In the item master record, you can specify the
inventory valuation method in which you want to
manage the item. You have three options:
 Moving Average price
The system calculates the moving average price by
dividing the total value of the goods by the amount
in stock.
 First In - First Out (FIFO)
When you post any good issue, the system uses
the price from the oldest layer, from the second-
oldest, and so on.
 Standard Price
You also need to enter a fixed price into the item
master record. The system uses this price for all
stock movements. This especially makes sense for
items which you produced yourself.

SERIAL NUMBER AND BATCH MANAGEMENT(1)
First go to general settings to customize serial number &
batches
PATH :
Serial number management and batch management are
different functions that can be used in conjunction with each
other.
Batch Number: Group of material with similar
characteristics can be assigned under a Batch.
Serial Number: the item is managed by batches. This type
of management tracks items that have unique numbers.

TRANSACTIONS
PATH:
1. GOODS RECEIPT
The Goods Receipt window lets you increase the inventory level in
situation that is not the direct result of adding a purchasing
document. When you purchase an item, the warehouse inventory
increases automatically when SAP Business One enters the
transaction. For example, if you create a goods receipt PO, the
warehouse inventory increases accordingly by the specified
quantity.
However, purchasing an item is not the only transaction that
results in a goods receipt

GOODS ISSUE
After an item is sold, the warehouse inventory is
automatically reduced when SAP Business One enters the
transactions. For example, if you create a delivery
document that is based on a sales order, the warehouse
inventory is reduced by the specified quantity once the
delivery document is added.
However, the sale of an item is not the only type of
transaction that results in a goods issue.

CREDIT LIMIT AND COMMITMENT LIMIT
Credit limits in SAP Business One define the maximum a customer may
have on terms with you. It is a check that happens when you add a BP to a
sales document or adding a sales document to the system. The credit limit
equation is as follows: The customer's account balance + the amount
of the current document.
Commitment limits in SAP Business One define basically the same thing
as credit limits but with one additional piece. The commitment limit is as
follows: The customer's account balance + the total amount in
undeposited checks + the amount of the current document.
