| | Item - Manufacturer and Business Partner (tdipu0135m000)Use this session to maintain
item-manufacturer-business partner combinations. In this session, you define
which manufacturers can be delivered by which business partners for an item or
item group. Note You can only enter valid item manufacturer combinations,
which you can define in the Item - Manufacturer (tdipu0130m000) session. Item The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools
that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit,
or which exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not
retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to
customers. The examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
Item Group A group of items with similar characteristics. Each item
belongs to a particular item group. The item group is used in combination with
the item type to set up item defaults. Manufacturer A supplier of finished goods. User-definable item grouping data
used for sorting and selecting. 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. Ship-from BP The business partner who 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. Status The status of the item-manufacturer-business partner
combination determines whether you can order items from the business partner
that are produced by the manufacturer. Note If an item-manufacturer-business combination exists with an
empty Purchase Office and the status For Approval, or Blocked,
and the same item-manufacturer-business combination exists with a filled Purchase Office and the status Approved, you cannot use the manufacturer on the purchase
order line. Effective Date The first day on which a record or a setting is valid. The
effective date often includes the effective time. Expiry Date The date from which a record or a setting is no longer valid.
The expiry date often includes the expiry time. Blocking Reason The reason why you have blocked the item-manufacturer-business
combination for use. On this field, you can only select a Blocking Reason from the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session when you have defined the Status field as Blocked. Note When a manufacturer is blocked in the Manufacturers (tcmcs0160m000) session or an item manufacturer combination is blocked
in the Item - Manufacturer (tdipu0130m000) session, all dependent
item-manufacturer-business partner relations will automatically be blocked in
the current session. Relation Type Enter a relation type code if you want to reflect the
relationship between a business partner and a manufacturer. For example, to
indicate that the business partner procures goods from the manufacturer only in
special circumstances. You can maintain relation types in the Supplier Manufacturer Relation Type (tdipu0140m000) session. Purchase Office A department in your organization that is responsible for
buying the materials and services required by your organization. You assign
number groups to the purchase office. | |
