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.

Note

This check box is cleared and cannot be changed if the Warehouse Type field is one of the following:

  • Project
  • Service Customer Owned
  • Service Reject
  • Consignment (Owned)
  • Financial
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.
  • 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.
    • 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.

Inventory Management

If this check box is selected, LN manages the inventory of the current warehouse.

If this check box is cleared, inventory of the selected warehouse is managed by an external party such as a supplier, a customer, or a logistics service provider (LSP). In addition:

This check box is cleared for the following types of warehouses:

This check box is selected for the following types of warehouses:

Business Partner

The business partner who carries out warehouse management for the current warehouse, for example, a supplier or a logistics service provider (LSP). This field is available if the Inventory Management check box is cleared.

If the current warehouse is a financial warehouse, this field displays the internal business partner of the warehouse to which the current warehouse is linked. Note, however, that this internal business partner is not always the business partner who carries out inventory management for the warehouse to which the financial warehouse is linked.

In the Financial Warehouses by Warehouse (tcmcs1103m000) session, you can link financial warehouses to a non-financial warehouse.

Note

This field is enabled only if the Inventory Management checkbox is cleared.

External Site

This field shows whether the current warehouse belongs to your company. If the value in this field is Yes, the warehouse belongs to another company. If the value is No, the warehouse belongs to your company. If the value is Not Applicable, the warehouse is a financial warehouse.

Note

If the warehouse type for the current warehouse is Consignment (Owned), this field is read-only and the value in this field is Yes.

Business Partner

The business partner who owns the warehouse, but not necessarily the inventory. If the warehouse is a consignment warehouse, this is usually the ship-to business partner or a logistics service provider.

Note

This field is enabled only if External Site field is set to Yes.

Ship-from Business Partner

The business partner that ships the ordered goods to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner.

Buy-from Business Partner

The business partner from whom you order goods or services; this usually represents a supplier's sales department. The definition includes the default price and discount agreements, purchase-order defaults, delivery terms, and the related ship-from and invoice-from business partner.
