Box 1: Product

Current environment. Items

Product numbering

All items are numbered by using a smart numbering format: [Product SKU+Size+Color+Style]. For reporting, items are queried for sales and inventory reports by using the first six digits of the item number or until the first dash is encountered.

• A t-shirt could be 01001-S-Red for item 1001 in a size small with the color red.

• A single energy drink could be 02001-12oz or 02001-20oz for the different sizes that product 02001 is sold in.

Product attributes

• All clothing shares the same set of product attributes.

• Supplements may share the same Product SKU but can have different attributes for the different size, color, or style variations of the product.

• Product attributes that are unnecessary for an item should be excluded from the item.

Box 2: Product variant

Product masters and product variants

In an agile world, where products must be quickly adapted to customer requirements, product definitions specify a set of products instead of distinct products. In Supply Chain Management, those generic products are known as product masters. Product masters hold the definition and rules that specify how distinct products are described and behave in business processes. Based on these definitions, distinct products can be generated. These distinct products are known as product variants.

A product master is associated with a product dimension group and a configuration technology to specify the business rules. The product dimensions (Color, Size, Style, and Configuration) are a specific set of attributes that can be used throughout the application to define and track specific behaviors of the related products. These dimensions also help users search for and identify the products.

Note: Customers are categorized into four pricing tiers (A, B, C, and D) based on sales volume over the past 12 months.

Promotional fund and Trade allowance agreement

A trade allowance agreement is an incentive program where pay-for-performance monetary rewards are offered to customers that achieve specific volume targets and/or behavioral goals. Promotional funds are budgeted expenditures. In that way, the promotional campaigns can be captured.

Apparel items will not be upgraded to the new costing method until after the go-live date due to resourcing and implementation limitations from the apparel team.

The inventory close process settles issue transactions to receipt transactions, based on the inventory valuation method that is selected in the item’s item model group. As part of the settlement process, you can specify that the general ledger should be updated, so that it reflects the adjustments that have been made. However, until inventory close or recalculation has been run, issue transactions are posted at the calculated running average cost price.

After inventory close, you can no longer post in periods that are before the inventory closing date that you set, unless you reverse a completed inventory close process. For example, if inventory close is run for the period that ends on January 31, you can't post transactions that have a date that is earlier than January 31.

Scenario:

* Damaged products must be placed in one of four bins (based on product type) during the inspection process.

* You must define quarantine zones to optimize product visibility throughout the testing process.

Four bins for the damaged product types, so we need four quarantine zones.

Note: You use the Quarantine zones page to define zones that can be assigned to nonconformances.

Examples of quarantine zones

Example 1

You work at an electronics manufacturing company that produces and distributes televisions, speakers, and media players. In this case, you can configure a quarantine zone to represent each type of product.

Example 2

Three bins and two racks are used to store items that are nonconforming. In this case, you can configure five quarantine zones, one for each bin and each rack.
