Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000)

Note

If you have started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record.

When the warehouse is registered with the excise authorities, you must use the address code that is linked to an excise range.

Extra Intrastat Info
The default Extra Intrastat Info set for warehouse transfer orders from this warehouse.

For other warehouse orders, the default extra Intrastat information set is the extra Intrastat information set you specified for the sales office or purchase office in the Departments (tcmcs0165s000) session. You can change the extra Intrastat information set on the warehouse order lines.

Include in Enterprise Planning
If this check box is selected, the transactions recorded for this warehouse are taken into account in the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session and the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session in Enterprise Planning. If this check box is cleared, any inventory on hand and planned warehouse transactions recorded for this warehouse will be ignored in the planning process. The inventory in this warehouse is also ignored when the ATP is checked upon entry of sales orders and quotations. You can use such a warehouse to store rejected items and other inventory that is not intended to fulfill item demand.

Allowed values

If the Warehouse Type field is Project, Service Customer Owned, Service Reject, or Consignment (Owned), the check box is cleared and cannot be changed.

Note

If you change this check box from cleared to selected, the transactions recorded for this warehouse are included in the next regenerative run. A net-change run will not take this warehouse's transactions into account, because the system does not set the net-change flag.

Before you can clear this check box, you must first delete any existing planned order recorded for this warehouse. No plan item must use this warehouse as its default warehouse in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session or the Items - Planning Defaults (cprpd1110m000) session.

Note

If you select this check box for a warehouse of type Service, the effects are:

  • The order-planning process takes the service requirements into account, and
  • Planned production orders can consume the inventory in the warehouse.

The first effect is usually intended, the second effect can be an undesired side-effect. To avoid that planned production orders consume inventory in a service warehouse, you can assign the service warehouse and the production warehouse to two different clusters.

Default value

If the Warehouse Type field is Normal, Shop Floor, or Consignment (Not Owned), the check box is selected by default. If the Warehouse Type field is Service, the check box is cleared by default.
