SCM - Oracle Cloud - Creating a Basic Item

An item is an entity that represents products/services that a business manufacturer stocks or sells. Items represent products and services that you sell or transact, resources that you maintain, and components that make up your products or services.

In this practice, you create an item by applying predefined templates that provide all the basic information to help you get started quickly. Each item that you create has several standard operational attributes that determine the behavior of the item with respect to various functions, such as Purchasing and Inventory Management.

1. From the Navigator, under Product Management, select Product Information Management.

2. Click the Tasks panel tab and then, select the Create Item link. The Create Item dialog box appears.

3. In the Organization field, select 000.

Note: By default, the Create Item dialog is set to Create New. This indicates you are creating a single new item. By selecting the Create from Copy option, you can create an item by copying another item.

4. In the Item Class field, select Root Item Class.

5. In the Templates region, in the Available List column, select the Purchased Item template.
