Item

The Item (ITEM) table stores Items from Maximo (when integrated with Advantage), so that users can validate the External Item ID entered on the transactions, such as PO, RQ, and PRC. This table also allows you to associate a Commodity Code with each Item. This integration allows Advantage to use a structured Commodity Code (NIGP) and a more detailed code in Maximo (Item). When transactions are passed between Maximo and Advantage, both the Item and Commodity code are passed. The Source System field indicates whether the Item originated in Advantage or Maximo.

Additionally, on the Item table and its Search window, the Commodity pick list that contains the Commodity Code information also includes the Extended Description field on the grid section, which displays a maximum of the first 255 characters of the Extended Description for the Commodity.
