Item grades

You can use the Item Grades module to create and maintain item grades. Item grades are used in MES to restrict the consumption and shipment of materials. Item grades are closely related to item states and item reasons.

When you open the Item Grades workspace tab, a list of all the existing item grades is shown.

By default, the Item Grades module is in the Product Definition group in the Navigation Bar. For more information on groups and modules, see Groups and modules.

An item grade defines the physical condition of an item. You can define unlimited number of item grades. This allows you to increase the flexibility of tracking the quality of an instances of an item produced and/or consumed, such as a lot. For example, a process that produces an item must be tested to determine its grade. You can define grades as A, B, and C for the produced item.
