MASTER DATA IN PURCHASING PROCESS IN SAP B1:

In SAP Business One, Another key piece of master data in the purchasing process is item master data. Item master data identifies what is being purchased. Frequently the same items are purchased, inventoried, and sold. The information is the same; it is just used differently. This is the advantage of using an item master record which can be copied into any document in the purchasing, sales, production, MRP, inventory, and service modules.

The header of the item master data record contains general information about the item, including a unique ID number assigned by the user, a description (including a description in a foreign language), and settings to determine the type of the item, the group it belongs to, the price in the selected price list. Checkboxes on the right indicate whether the item is kept in inventory and whether it is offered for sale or purchase (in many cases both apply). The General tab of the Item Master Data window holds information about the manufacturer of the item, additional identifiers, shipping methods, and issue method.

The Purchasing Data tab indicates the usual vendors who sell the item, how to identify the item in a catalog, the units of measurement used for the item for purchasing purposes, and the dimensions of the physical item. Information is also available on taxes and on customs groups for imported information. For items with a purchasing history, you can click on the chart icon on the left of the tab to display a graphical purchase analysis.
