Sold-to BP versus OwnerDuring the maintenance of an installation, warehouse orders are created to retrieve and send materials from or to the warehouse. If customer owned material is involved and the maintenance is performed to an installation that is not owned by the Sold-to business partner of the order, it must be possible to indicate if the material used is owned by the Sold-to business partner or by the owner of the serialized item. To implement this functionality, the Business Partner of Inventory field is added to the following sessions:
This field can be only set to:
This field is a display field and is applicable only if the Ownership field is set to Customer Owned. Issue of customer owned materials At the time of maintaining an installation, that is not owned by the Sold-to BP, if the Allow to use Installation Owner instead of Sold-to BP on issue check box is selected in the Maintenance Sales Order, Work Orders and Service Orders sessions, the customer owned material which is available with the actual owner of the installation, can be used. If this parameter is selected and maintenance is performed for an installation that is not owned by the Sold-to BP; the user is allowed to set the Business Partner of Inventory field to Owner instead of the Sold-to BP. This is also applicable for material lines that contain both serialized and anonymous items. If this parameter is not selected, only customer owned materials owned by the Sold-to BP are allowed for the installations. This also applies for serialized and anonymous items.
