You can manage the status of an item for all related records.
A set of inheritance rules are used to apply changes to an item from
a higher level to a lower level. A change to the item status is applied
to the organization and to the inventory level. From the organization
level, a status change is applied to the inventory level.
The following status types are available:
- Pending items are not available when you attempt to record selected
general ledger transactions. Items that are in Pending status are
not visible from item lookups. This status applies to the following
general ledger transactions:
- Material Use Transactions (MATUSETRANS)
- Material Receipts Transactions (MATRECTRANS)
- Inventory Transactions (INVTRANS) except for Insert Item (INSERTITEM)
- Planning items are not available when you attempt to record selected
general ledger transactions. This status applies to the following
general ledger transactions:
- MATUSETRANS
- MATRECTRANS (Issue, Transfer, or Receipt types, only)
- Active items are available without any restrictions.
- Pending Obsolescence items can be used, but cannot replenish existing
balances.
- Obsolete items cannot be used in the system, except to generate
invoices and for historical purposes. Items that are in Obsolete status
are not visible when you are looking up items.
