Item attributes are information about an item, such as order cost, lead time, and revision control.
One of the prerequisites for defining items (and assigning values to item attributes) is setting attribute controls.
This attribute control type determines whether you have centralized (Master level) or decentralized (Organization level) control of item attributes.
Attributes maintained at the Master level have the same attribute values in each organization in which an item is assigned. For example, you maintain an item's primary unit of measure at the Master level.
Attributes maintained at the Organization level may have different attribute values in different organizations. For example, an item may be min-max planned in a distribution organization but material requirement planning (MRP) planned in a production organization.
