Before you start

Create items with their identifiers, units and applicable stock settings. Choose classification through the category hierarchy. Keep UNSPSC item groups and supplier categories consistent with the products and services being traded.

ERP links open in a new tab. Sign in with your own account; record visibility, actions and approval authority follow your assigned permissions. Screens can differ by company and configuration.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1 of 4

Open the module

Open Supply Chain using the left app rail, then select Items & Categories in its module menu. The module dashboard gathers the available records, reports and setup links.

Expected URL expression / entry point{ERP_URL}/desk/nexcom-workflow/Supply%20Chain/Items%20%26%20Categories

Record forms may append /{RECORD_ID}; a new draft may use /new-{TYPE}-{TEMP_ID}. Query filters and selected tabs may add a query string or #fragment.

Step 2 of 4

Continue the task

Choose the work area for your task. This staging dashboard provides Item, Item Group, Brand, Customs Tariff Number, Item Alternative, Item Attribute, Item Lead Time, Item Manufacturer. Use an existing record for a change; use Add/New only when a new record is needed and your role permits it.

Expected URL expression / entry point{ERP_URL}/desk/nexcom-workflow/Supply%20Chain/Items%20%26%20Categories

Record forms may append /{RECORD_ID}; a new draft may use /new-{TYPE}-{TEMP_ID}. Query filters and selected tabs may add a query string or #fragment.

Step 3 of 4

Continue the task

Before saving or taking a workflow action, verify the relevant party, company, dates, source links and permissions. Use the field reference linked below for the selected record type. This navigation tutorial does not submit a business transaction.

Record forms may append /{RECORD_ID}; a new draft may use /new-{TYPE}-{TEMP_ID}. Query filters and selected tabs may add a query string or #fragment.

Step 4 of 4

Continue the task

For review, open BOM Search, COGS By Item Group, Item Price Stock, Item Variant Details, Item Where Used, Itemwise Recommended Reorder Level. Check the report filters, company and date range before interpreting the results. A record count on the dashboard is not a financial total.

Record forms may append /{RECORD_ID}; a new draft may use /new-{TYPE}-{TEMP_ID}. Query filters and selected tabs may add a query string or #fragment.

Choose the relevant work area

Check the result

Check the selected record, company, source relationships, field values and available actions. A successful save, approval, submission, external notification and payment are separate events. The module screenshot is a navigation reference; it is not evidence that the business transaction described in this article was executed.

Troubleshooting

Use the installed work areas and the linked task tutorials below. Available actions and records depend on your role; external services may require their own permitted sign-in.
