Items - Sales by Site (tdisa0181m100)

Use this session to view, specify, and maintain the item sales data for a site.

Note
  • This session is available only if you use multisite.
  • If item sales data is not available at the global level in the Item - Sales (tdisa0601m000) session, you cannot specify the item sales data at the site level.

 

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)
Site

A business location of an enterprise that can maintain its own logistical data. It includes a collection of warehouses, departments and assembly lines at the same location. Sites are used to model the supply chain in a multisite environment.

These restrictions apply to sites:

  • A site cannot cross countries. The warehouses and departments of the site must be in the same country as the site.
  • A site is linked to one planning cluster. Consequently, all warehouses and work centers of a site must belong to the same planning cluster.
  • A site is linked to one logistic company.

You can link a site to an enterprise unit or an enterprise unit to a site.

If an enterprise unit is linked to a site, the entities of the site belong to the enterprise unit. Conversely, if a site is linked to an enterprise unit, the entities of the enterprise unit belong to the site.

Warehouse

The warehouse at the site from where the item is delivered.

Default value

  1. Item - Sales Defaults by Site (tdisa0182m100)
  2. Item - Ordering by Site (tcibd2150m000)
Commitment Policy

Specify if and when you want to commit the ordered quantity automatically for the item.

Note

You can change the commitment policy as long as no commitments are made for the item in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session.

Allowed values

Commitment Policy

Minimum Quantity to Commit

The minimum quantity that must be committed in case of a partial allocation.

If both the Minimum Quantity to Commit and the Minimum Rate for Commitment fields have significant values, the quantity to be committed is checked against both fields. LN uses whichever number is higher.

Example
  • The value of the Minimum Quantity to Commit field is 5.
  • The value of the Minimum Rate for Commitment is 10%.

For an order of 100, the minimum quantity is 5 and the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 10. This results in a minimum commitment of 10 for a partial allocation. For an order of 20, the minimum quantity is still 5, but the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 2. In this case, the minimum commitment quantity is 5 for a partial allocation.

Inventory Unit

The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Minimum Rate for Commitment

The minimum rate that must be delivered in case of a partial allocation.

If both the Minimum Quantity to Commit and the Minimum Rate for Commitment fields have significant values, the quantity to be committed is checked against both fields. LN uses whichever number is higher.

Example
  • The value of the Minimum Quantity to Commit field is 5.
  • The value of the Minimum Rate for Commitment is 10%.

For an order of 100, the minimum quantity is 5 and the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 10. This results in a minimum commitment of 10 for a partial allocation. For an order of 20, the minimum quantity is still 5, but the minimum rate (converted to a quantity) is 2. In this case, the minimum commitment quantity is 5 for a partial allocation.
