Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000)

Use this session to view, create, or maintain inventory adjustment order lines.

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.

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.

To process one or more specific inventory adjustment order lines, select the concerned inventory adjustment order lines, and from the appropriate menu, choose Process.

Note

If an inventory adjustment order line concerns:

Inventory ownership

If the vendor managed inventory (VMI) functionality is used, you can view and maintain inventory ownership records in the Adjustment Order Line Ownership (whinh5125m000) session. An inventory ownership record specifies the owner or owners of the items that comprise the variance entered on the adjustment 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 Adjustment Order Line Ownership (whinh5125m000) and Ownership records.

To start the Adjustment Order Line Ownership (whinh5125m000) 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.

Price
Use Adjustment Price
If this check box is selected, LN uses the Adjustment Price, as specified in the current session, for the financial transactions related to the adjustment-order line.

You can only specify or modify the adjustment price if the current check box is selected.

The current check box is only available if both of the following conditions apply:

  • The adjustment-order line concerns a positive variance.
  • The item's inventory-valuation method is not Fixed Transfer Price (FTP). You can view the item's inventory-valuation method in the Warehouse - Item (whwmd2110s000) session.
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.

Inventory Unit
Adjustment Price
The currency in which the adjustment price is expressed.
Adjustment Amount
The adjustment price times the variance, expressed in the inventory unit.
Adjustment Amount
The currency in which the adjustment amount is expressed.
Inventory Value
The impact (estimated) of the adjustment in the inventory on the inventory value expressed per unit.
inventory value = valuation amount/ variance quantity
Note

The valuation price is displayed, only if the Use Adjustment Price check box is cleared.

Transaction Amount
The impact (estimated) of the adjustment on the inventory value.
Note

In case of positive adjustments, the transaction amount includes receipt surcharges (if applicable). This value is calculated when the order is entered with an estimated value and is updated when the order is processed with the actual transaction amount. The actual transaction amount can vary from the estimated transaction amount in the following scenarios:

  • In case of negative adjustment orders, a difference occurs if the inventory value changes from the moment of order entry to the moment of actual processing.
  • In case of positive adjustment, a difference can occur when positive adjustment is valuated against inventory value (defined in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session) and the Inventory Valuation Method is set to Moving Average Unit Cost (MAUC) (by valuation group). This is the Moving Average Unit Cost (MAUC) (by valuation group) that can change from the moment of order entry to the moment of actual processing of the order.

Specification
Demand Peg
Business Partner
The sold-to business partner to which the inventory was allocated.

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:

  • 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V)
  • 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.
