Item Master Data Setup

Item Master Data is a critical component in SAP Business One, enabling efficient inventory and production management. When using ProcessForce, specific fields within the Item Master Data setup influence manufacturing, procurement, and license plate functionality. This guide outlines the key fields and their roles in ProcessForce.

To access Item Master Data Setup, navigate to:

Path

When setting up Item Master Data within SAP Business One, the following fields are used by ProcessForce:

  • Unit Price: this value is automatically applied to the Bill of Materials (BOM) and Manufacturing Orders and is used in financial transactions.

  • Item Group: required for License Plate functionality. A specific Item Group code must be configured under General Settings ProcessForce → License tab

  • Sales Item, Inventory Item, Purchase Item, Fixed Assets Item: these fields should remain unchecked when Phantom Item is also unchecked for Co-Product production in General Settings.
