Creating Reman Parts as Items

You can create reman parts as items in TRASER DMS 365 by creating an item card for the physical item (core part) and a linked item card for the deposit value (deposit part). For easier identification., the deposit part is also marked with a suffix. To create a reman part as an item, please proceed as follows:

• Use the quick search (ALT+Q) to find the Items page.
• Click on New in the menu bar.
• Either select the item template you want to use or click Cancel to create an item without using a template.
  • If you clicked Cancel, confirm the dialog with Yes.
• Select the Core option in the Core/Deposit Part field in the Item FastTab.
• Enter the desired amount, which will later be shown as a deposit in sales documents, in the REMAN Value field in the Prices & Sales FastTab. Alternatively, you can also import a REMAN Value directly when importing a catalog or price file. This means that the value is always automatically transferred to the item card when an item is created from a catalog item. For more information on catalog imports, please read the Catalog Import chapter.
• Fill in the remaining fields on the item card according to the information in the Creating Items section.
• To create the corresponding deposit part, click on Actions > Create Deposit Item in the menu bar of the item card.
• Confirm the dialog with Yes.
