  "objective": {
    "intro": "The objective of this test is to validate that standard, purchased, inventory, customer-orderable, manufacturing, lot-controlled and serial-controlled items can be created in Oracle Fusion SCM Product Management using a valid item class or template, item number, description, unit of measure and category, without assuming a universal item class or template structure, and that the resulting item is created with correct attributes and controls.",
    "confirms": [
      "the item is created with the correct item class, template and controls as configured",
      "lot and serial control settings are correctly applied where configured, including dual-control items where the configuration supports both",
      "template-based attributes such as category, unit of measure and description are correctly defaulted or entered",
      "the item is available and searchable in Product Management after creation",
      "downstream modules such as Procurement, Inventory, Order Management, Manufacturing and Planning can reference the newly created item",
      "Oracle correctly enforces validation when data errors, configuration errors or security restrictions are introduced (DATA_ERROR, CONFIGURATION_ERROR, SECURITY_ERROR, EXPECTED_VALIDATION)"
    ],
    "scope_note": "This scenario covers creation of items across the item classes and templates configured in the target Oracle Fusion SCM Product Management TEST/UAT environment. It does not cover updating an existing item, assigning an item to additional organizations, or maintaining item attributes after creation, which are covered by the separate Update Item, Item Organization Assignment and Item Attributes scenarios in the same Product Management cluster."
