Implementing Manufacturing and Materials Management: From Empty Plant to Costed Work Order · Module 7 · Items and the Item Model
What we are building
Lesson 61 of 188 · 1 min
A class hierarchy, one item defined properly, and five hundred of them loaded and assigned. That is the destination. And the chain it sits in, which does not stop at the edge of this module: class hierarchy, templates, items, attributes, organization assignment — then structures in Module 8, and work definitions in Module 10. This module carries the most downstream weight of anything in the course. Not because it is the hardest, but because everything else references it. Structures reference items. Work definitions reference structures. Costing values items. Planning plans them. Every transaction names one. Get the shape wrong here and you meet it again in eleven modules.
