Catalog Items
|
The Catalog Item object is also used for other FX modules, such as e-Ticketing. This topic focuses on the fields related to FX EAM. |
Within the context of FX EAM, a Catalog Item is a master record of a type of MRO inventory item stored at a Warehouse.
| MRO stands for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations. |
A Stock Item joins a Catalog Item to a particular Warehouse. A single Catalog Item may be found in any number of Warehouses. In addition, the same Catalog Item may have multiple Stock Item records in the same Warehouse to track items in different conditions, such as New, Used, or Refurbished.
Stock Items that are serialized have records in the Equipment object, as well. There is a lookup field from Equipment to Catalog Items.
|
Serialized inventory items have unique identifying codes for each item. Common examples of serialized inventory include Vehicles and IT equipment. |
