Model Items

Model Items define which Items are applicable to the Model, House Areas of the Model where the Item can be installed, prices and costs that are specific to the Model House Area.

To access the list of Model Items, search Models, then in the page "Models" (list page) select one Model and click the Action Button "Model Items".

The page "Model Items" contains a non-editable grid with Model Items.

Note

Please note that House Area Code is empty for Items with Cost Scope 'Universal', whereas Items with Cost Scope 'Per Model/HA' have House Area Codes. The last is necessary to specify costs and prices on a 'per House Area' basis.

  • Related
    • Model Item Variants
    • Model BOM Components
    • Where-Used

  • Actions

On the Model Item Card, select the "Model BOM Components" Action Button. Page "Model BOM Components" allows for editing BOM component cost and price for combinations of Model/House Area (i.e. for Items with Cost Scope "Per Model/HA").

The field "Unit Cost" is editable if "Use Component Cost" is set to 'No'.

Fields Price/Profit Calculation, Markup, Unit Price, and Use Component Prices are enabled only if the bundle Item has the "Color Chart" field set to 'Yes'.

    • This action is enabled if the bundle Item has a "Color Chart" field set to 'Yes'. To set markup, select BOM components and press "Set Markup". In the pop-up page, enter the markup value and press "OK".

  • Model Item Card

    • This action is enabled if the BOM Component has type 'Item'. It opens the Model Item Card for the Model Item referenced by "No.".

Where-Used

This action is enabled for Model Items with the Designation 'Component'. The page called by this action shows the phase bundle items where this Component Item is used.

Applicable House Areas

The page "Model Item Applicable House Areas" allows a user to define a list of House Areas applicable to a Model Item. When a user enters "Item Category Code" for a Model Item, the applicable House Areas will be populated from House Areas of the Global Item Category.

Deletion of a House Area is possible only if the combination of Item / House Area does not exist in Planning Lines or in Lot Selection Choices of Lot Selection Packages which are closed in all companies. On deletion of a House Area from an Item, the system does the following:

  • Delete Model Item House Areas with the House Area and with the Items of the Item Category or its sub-categories in all companies.
  • Delete Color Selections with the House Area and the Item Category or its sub-categories in all companies.
  • Delete Lot Selection Choices with the House Area and the Item Category or its sub-categories from open Lot Selection Packages in all companies.
