Hi,

1.Most of industries are ordered, controlled, maintained and dispatched by item number with serial or batch number. The type item covers most of business process.

2. Travel and labour item type is used to capture additional cost for final selling product.

3. There is no other process (item, labour and travel) is required in standard SAP B1.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Scenario:

1. Created an item with item type and delivered to customer.

2. Due to some problem in delivered item, we have to repair that item.

3. To repairing the item, we need to capture  labor and travel costs.

4. Labor and travel types are used after sales and service

Thanks & Regards,

Nagarajan

Hi,

Do you mean labor and travel together as item type? If yes, it is not possible in standard SAP.

Hi

I don't want to add any additional item type, my doubt is why SAP showing only three options to select item type. SAP restrict some options in the sense there should be reason behind it, so i need to know that reason.

Hi Rathna Kumari...

Select one of the following:

  • Items – to define as an SAP Business One item.
  • Labor – to use in the Service module to calculate the amount of time spent completing a task.
  • Travel – to use in the Service module to calculate the amount of time the technician spends traveling.

can you explain what is u r requirement in the Item type.
