Inventory ownership registration for the entire warehouse. The
entire inventory of the warehouse is owned by one particular business partner.
For example, this is used for a supplier, who owns the inventory held in
consignment in a particular warehouse, usually located at the
customer's.
Location
Inventory ownership registration by location. Each location within a warehouse
can contain inventory owned by a particular business partner. Locations can be
allocated to a business partner, and the inventory stored in a particular
location is owned by the business partner to which the location is
allocated.
Physical Item
Inventory ownership registration by individual item. To enable
ownership registration for an individual item, the item must be contained in a handling unit. Note, however, that no reference is made
to any subdivisions of the warehouse, such as locations or zones. In fact, the owner of the item
contained in the handling unit can be different from the business partner of
the location in which the handling unit is stored.
Note also that a handling unit can contain child handling units,
each owned by a different business partner.
Physical Item and Location
Inventory ownership registration by location and individual item. To enable
ownership registration for an individual item, the item must be contained in a handling unit. The items contained in the handling units
stored in a particular location are owned by the business partner to which the location is
allocated.
