Enter Inventory Part, Acquisition Data

Explanation

This procedure is one of many that you can use to complete the registration of a inventory part. It is used to enter data about supply, lead times, and other related matters.

To be able to create Intrastat (within the European Union only) and customs reports, the inventory part must be associated with a customs statistic number. Information about net weight for each part must also have been entered. If parts under one customs statistic number should be reported in a unit other than that used for the actual net weight, you can enter a conversion factor.

However, all the information might not be required on all occasions. Depending on the area of use of the inventory part, you might need to specify some values, but not all.

Prerequisites

• Depending on what information you choose to enter, the relevant corresponding basic data must be entered, e.g., the standard name ID must have been entered as basic data on the Part page, and the customs statistic number and unit of measure must have been entered as basic data for inventory.
• If a technical coordinator is to be connected to the part, he/she must be entered on the Technical Coordinators page.
• To group inventory parts with the same requirements regarding delivery mode, delivery lead time, distance, and cost information, a supply chain part group must have been entered on the Supply Chain Part Group page.

System Effects

Additional data about supply, lead times, and other related matters are entered.
