Item Maintenance
RMS is responsible for the creation and maintenance of all items. RMS uses a flexible data hierarchy for an item, with levels that allow you to model items in a desired way. The hierarchy consists up to three levels, highest (level 1) to lowest (level 3). Within the defined levels for an item family, one level is denoted as the transaction level. This is the level at which all inventory and sales transaction takes place. This model gives retailers a flexibility to create families of items that share common characteristics.
RMS creates several types of items, such as regular items, deposit items, packs, concession items, consignment items, and transformable items.
Through item maintenance, RMS also maintains the relationships of items with other entities such as suppliers, locations, and attributes.
