| Activate sites - In preparation, generate item default dataThe first steps of the second stage of the site activation
process comprise adding sites to item default data. These steps are optional,
skip these steps if no item default data is defined for your multicompany
structure. Step 1. Click In Preparation on the Sites tab in the Multisite Concepts Activation (tcemm4600m000) workbench session. Consequently, the status
of the concept changes to In Preparation. Step 2. Generate default item data by site. This is done in the Generate Master Data (tccom0231m000) session. This session is only available if the site
activation status is In Preparation. Recommended procedure: -
Select these check boxes: - From Items (in the Item Defaults column)
- Simulation
- Process Report
- Error Report
- Click Generate.
- Check the process and error reports and correct any
errors before actually generating master data. The error report is only
generated if errors occur. You can repeat running the simulation until all
errors are corrected.
- Select the From Planning check box and repeat the previous
steps.
The resulting item by site default data is maintained in
the Item Control and Defaults by Site (tcibd1552m000) session. See Generating item default data by site. Define item default data by sales, purchase, or service
office. For purchase offices and service offices, this is only
required if the default data by office differ from the local default data.
However, if the Items Service by Office is Mandatory is selected in
the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session, defining item default data is
mandatory for service offices. This is done manually: - In the Item Defaults (tcibd0502m000) session, define an item type and item group
combination.
- Add default data to this combination.
- Add sales, purchase, and service offices to this
combination.
Consequently: - Based on the default data, item data by sales office is
generated during the activation process. This also applies to service offices
if the Items Service by Office is Mandatory is selected in
the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session. For purchase offices, no item data
is generated, you must manually specify this data.
- After the Sites concept is activated, when you create a new item
based on the item defaults, item data by the sales or service office is
generated. For purchase offices, no item data is generated, this must be
created manually.
- Define item default data by site and subentity.
Step 3. Validate the default data by checking the Item Defaults check box and clicking Validate in the Validate Master Data for Multisite (tccom0230m100) session. The Validation Information report in this session lists
the validation checks performed. | |
