The item card in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is organised into separate tabs, where each tab groups a specific type of information about the item. You can expand any tab and choose to show more fields when you need to see every detail. The tabs are: Item (general information), Inventory (calculated quantities and basic data), Cost & Posting (costing and chart of accounts posting), Price & Sales (sales prices and sales-side data), Replenishment (how the item is replenished by production, purchase, or assembly), Planning (parameters for the planning and requisition worksheets), Item Tracking (serial and lot number tracing), and Warehouse (warehouse handling information).
The Replenishment tab controls how the item is replenished, not how it is planned. The Planning tab holds the parameters used by the planning worksheets and the requisition worksheet.
How the item card is structured in Business Central
The item card in Business Central is divided into different tabs. Each tab can be opened, and within each one you can choose to show more fields if you want to see everything. This structure gives you a clear overview of the item and keeps related information grouped together.
The Item tab: general information
The first tab is the Item tab. It contains the general information about the item, such as the basic identifying details you start with when you create or review an item.
The Inventory tab: quantities and basic data
The Inventory tab includes a lot of calculated fields. These display the quantities on inventory and similar figures, along with some basic information about the item.
The Cost & Posting tab: costing and chart of accounts
The Cost & Posting tab holds all the costing information for the item. It also defines where the item posts in the chart of accounts, together with some of the reporting information.
The Price & Sales tab: sales prices and sales data
The Price & Sales tab is mostly used by the salespeople. It contains the sales price and the information related to the sales side of the item.
The Replenishment tab: how the item is replenished
The Replenishment tab covers how to replenish the item. This is about replenishment, not planning. You define whether the item is replenished by production, purchase, or assembly, and you set the parameters related to that method.
The Planning tab: planning and requisition worksheet parameters
The Planning tab is where you set up all the information used in the planning worksheets and the requisition worksheet. These are the parameters that drive how the item is planned.
The Item Tracking tab: serial and lot numbers
The Item Tracking tab defines the information about how to trace the item, using serial numbers or lot numbers.
The Warehouse tab: warehouse handling
The Warehouse tab contains the information used in the warehouse on how to handle the item. This is the final tab on the item card.
