Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000)

Use this session to view, create, or maintain cycle-count order lines.

If the Printed check box in the Cycle Counting Orders (whinh5100m000) session is selected, you can maintain cycle-count order-lines. If these lines are maintained, you can enter the physical quantities counted in the current session. LN will calculate the variance between the counted quantities and the registered quantities.

If the counted quantity on a stockpoint is less than the allocated inventory for that stockpoint, you can reduce the allocated quantity.

You can delete all, or part of, the outbound advice or assign allocated inventory to another location.

If a variance has been approved, that is, the Approval field is set to Approved, and the variance is adjusted again, approval is only necessary when the variance is more than is stated in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session. If a recount is requested by the approval process in the Approve Cycle Counting Variances (whinh5801m000) session, you can no longer modify this order line.

To process one or more specific cycle count order lines, select the concerned cycle count order lines, and on the appropriate menu, choose Process.

Note

When the ownership changes, the peg distribution is removed.

For Customer Owned items, the peg(s) are not generated automatically, but must be entered manually. Before you approve a cycle counting line, LN checks if the peg data is specified.

Note

To view the peg distribution data, use the Peg Distribution option from the References menu. This option is enabled only if the project pegging functionality is implemented and for the warehouse of type Project.

Note

If a cycle count order line concerns:

  • A project warehouse, you must specify the project data in the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session before you can process the cycle count order. To start the Cycle Counting Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh5107m000) session, on the appropriate menu, choose Peg Distribution.
  • A serialized item, you must specify the serialized items that are added to or subtracted from inventory in the Cycle Counting Order Line Serials (whinh5106m000) session before you can process the cycle count order. To start the Cycle Counting Order Line Serials (whinh5106m000) session, from the appropriate menu, choose Serials.
Inventory ownership

If the vendor managed inventory (VMI) functionality is used, you can view and maintain inventory ownership records in the Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000) session. An inventory ownership record specifies the owner or owners of the items that comprise the variance entered on the cycle counting order line.

Inventory ownership records are either generated or manually created, this depends on the ownership settings of the warehouse and the items for which the variance occurs. For further details, see Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000)

To start the Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000) session, click Ownership in the appropriate menu.

For further information on ownership and vendor managed inventory, see Inventory ownership in Warehouse Management and Vendor managed inventory

Adjustment Price
The new price for each item.

Default value

LN retrieves the default adjustment price as follows:

  • If the item is not a project item, the default adjustment price is the fixed transfer price. LN retrieves the fixed transfer price from the Cost Price Calculation module in Manufacturing.
  • If the item is a project item, LN retrieves the default adjustment price from Project.

You can only specify or modify the adjustment price if the Use Adjustment Price check box in the current session is selected. If the Use Adjustment Price check box is cleared, no adjustment price is specified in the current field.

Adjustment Price
The currency in which the adjustment price is expressed.

LN only retrieves the currency if the Use Adjustment Price check box is selected. The currency is the local currency of the financial company that is linked to the enterprise unit you are working in. LN retrieves the local currency of the warehouse from the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session.

Valuation Price

LN can use the inventory specified by this record for the business partner specified by this field; LN does not use this inventory for any other business partner.

Business Object Type
The type of order to which the inventory was allocated, such as, Sales Order, or Service Order.
Note

The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line:

  • Business Object Type
  • Business Object
  • Business Object Reference
Business Object
The order, or order line, to which the inventory was allocated.
Note

The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line:

  • Business Object Type
  • Business Object
  • Business Object Reference
Reference
A reference code to which the inventory was allocated.

LN can use the inventory specified by this record to fulfill a demand specified by this reference and for no other purpose.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
  • If the Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.

Product Variant
A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature options, components, and operations.
Example

Configurable item: electric drill

Options:

  • 2 colors (blue, gray).

A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these options.

Product Variant
The description or name of the code.
Option List ID
The identification of the options and features for a configured item. The ID is used in the item specification to match supply and demand.

The ASN specifications include the option list ID. The ASN specifications are populated from the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session. In turn, the specifications on the inbound order line are populated from the purchase schedule line.

For configurable purchased items in Warehousing, only the option list ID is part of the specifications. This means that inventory is maintained per option list ID and is the total of inventory of all product variants with the same option list ID.

Note
  • The field is displayed only if the Assembly Control (ASC) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

  • The field is populated only for configurable purchased items and manufactured assembly (FAS) items.
