A new Item can be added in skeletal form, so it can be reviewed and approved by various departments prior to becoming part of the main Item Masterfile. New Items are referred to as Unapproved Items. The functionality of creating an Unapproved Item is similar to adding a normal Item, including pricing, applicability, etc. Once approved, the New Item is transferred to the main Item Masterfile. New Items are often used as Planned Items or Items not yet on the market. This option is also known as a Planned Model function.
When an item with a contributor link to a contact is deleted, the link will be removed from the contact.
