Multisite example - item data in the purchase scenario

In the purchase scenario, item data is set up for these entities:

  • Sites SB and SC
  • Purchase offices SB and SC
  • Enterprise units EUB and EUC

At site SB, purchase office PB handles the purchase of the oxygen masks from local supplier X.

At site SC, purchase office PC handles the purchase of the oxygen masks from local supplier Y.

At enterprise units EUB and EUC, the standard costs for the purchased oxygen masks at sites SB and SC are calculated.

At site SA, purchase is not applicable, because the oxygen masks are manufactured.

This item data must be set up for the oxygen mask:

  • Item by site
    In the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session, the supply source is Purchase for sites SB and SC. If required, you can specify additional data such as product types or manufacturers.
  • Item-ordering by site
    In the Item - Ordering by Site (tcibd2150m000) session, for sites SB and SC, you must specify the default warehouse in which the oxygen mask is received. Also, specify data such as the order method and the applicable lot sizes as required.
  • Item-purchase by site
    In the Items - Purchase by Site (tdipu0181m000) session, you must specify supplier X for site SB and supplier Y for site SC. Also, in this session you must specify the purchase price and the price group for sites SB and SC. You can also specify purchase office PB for site SB and purchase office PC for site SC, and other settings as required.
  • Item-warehousing by site
    In the Item - Warehousing by Site (whwmd4604m000) session, specify data such as the default package definition, settings for locations, handling units, or rejected items, for the purchased oxygen masks at sites SB and SC.
  • Item-purchase by office
    Item purchase data by office is not mandatory. In the Items - Purchase by Office (tdipu0181m100) session, you can specify the tax code and stage payment setting for each purchase office if these settings are different from the company settings.
  • Item costing by enterprise unit

    For enterprise unit EUB, in the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session, for item oxygen mask, specify costing source Purchase and the warehouse of site SB where the purchased oxygen masks are received.

    Consequently, the purchase price specified in the Items - Purchase by Site (tdipu0181m000) session for site SB is used to calculate the standard costs for enterprise unit EUB.

    Likewise, for enterprise unit EUC, specify costing source Purchase and the warehouse of site SC where the purchased oxygen masks are received. Consequently, the purchase price defined for site SC is used to calculate the standard costs for enterprise unit EUC.
