Consumption Percentages by Business Partner (whinr1135m000)

Use this session to view consumptions per item and business partner. For each item, this session shows the cumulative consumption quantities and percentages by business partner. The business partners are the buy-from business partners who own the item inventory from which consumptions take place.

In addition, the sourcing percentage of each business partner is displayed. The sourcing percentages are taken from the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. LN uses the consumption percentages and the sourcing percentages to determine from which business partner's inventory the next consumption is to take place. For further information, see Sourcing rules for consumptions.

Note

Consumption quantities and percentages that you delete are subtracted from the total consumption quantities and percentages, and thus may impact the result of the calculation that LN performs to determine from which business partner's inventory the next consumption is to take place.
