Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000)

Use this session to view and maintain data and settings for items stored in particular warehouses.

LN automatically generates warehouse and item combinations in the current session when:

  • Starting from the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session, item ordering data is created in the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session and item warehousing data is created in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.
  • An order is created for an item-warehouse combination that is not available in the current session.

When generating order advice, by default LN uses data from the Item - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session as input. Clear the Use Item Ordering Data check box if order advice must be based on data from the current session. For more information, refer to Input data for order advice (SIC).

If you want to delete items from a warehouse, LN checks whether inventory on hand, allocations, or planned receipts of the item are present before deleting items. If this is the case, the item is not deleted.

Forecast
Forecast Method

The forecast method code for a standard item. The forecast-method code is only used when LN calculates a demand forecast in the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session.

Expected Annual Issue

The standard item's expected annual usage or issue tem.

This is used to calculate the expected safety-time usage. If the Update Inventory/Order Data field is selected the field is updated in the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session. The expected annual issue is calculated on the basis of the calculated values of the Trend field and the Forecast Period Demand field.

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.

Period

The number of periods the forecast applies to.

Period Type

When you generate order advice by item and warehouse by means of the Generate Order Advice (SIC) (whina3200m000) session, the setting of this check box determines the field values that LN uses as input. For more information, refer to Input data for order advice (SIC).

Order System

The order system and the order method control how to plan purchase and or/production orders.

The choice of order system depends on the selected item type and order policy.

Order Method

The order method and, among other data, the order system, determine the order quantity in planned purchase, production, and replenishment orders for the item.

Order Quantity Increment

The multiplication factor of the order quantity. When LN generates planned orders, it also checks whether the order quantity is a multiple of the factor entered in this field.

Minimum Order Quantity

The minimum order-quantity prevents purchasing, producing, or replenishing this item in too small quantities for an order.

Allowed values

Numeric values

Note

When planned orders are generated, the quantity of items to be purchased, produced, or replenished will never be less than the minimum order-quantity.

Maximum Order Quantity

The maximum order-quantity prevents purchasing, producing, or replenishing too many items for an order.

Allowed values

Numeric values

Note

When planned orders are generated, the quantity of items to be purchased, produced, or replenished is never greater than the maximum order-quantity.

Fixed Order Quantity

If you use the fixed order quantity order method, this field shows the item quantity that appears on:

  • Planned purchase-orders
  • Replenishment orders
  • Production orders

Default value

0

Economic Order Quantity

If you use the Economic Order Quantity order method, this field shows the item quantity that appears on:

  • Planned purchase-orders
  • Replenishment orders
  • Production orders

Update this order quantity in the Calculate Economic Order Quantity (Camp) (whina2201m000) session.

Maximum Inventory

The item's maximum inventory in the warehouse.

Note

If the item's method is Replenish to Maximum Inventory, the maximum inventory determines the quantity that LN uses to generate purchase, production, and/or replenishment orders.

Reorder Point

A set inventory level where, if the total stock on-hand plus total on-order falls below that point, action is taken to replenish the stock.

Inventory control is based on a number of decision rules, which determine when, and in what quantity an item is ordered. This depends on the order method and the values of the following fields in the current session:

  • Reorder Point
  • Economic Order Quantity
  • Fixed Order Quantity
  • Order Interval
  • Maximum Inventory

If the reorder point and the economic order quantity are specified, order advice to replenish the stock is generated as soon as the economic stock falls below the reorder point.

The order quantity can be fixed or variable, depending of the values specified for the Fixed Order Quantity and Maximum Inventory fields.

If you also specify an order interval, order advice is not generated the moment the economic stock falls below the reorder point, but LN checks at fixed points in time whether the economic order quantity has fallen below the reorder point. If yes, LN generates order advice.

Note

The reorder point is updated in the Global Update of Inventory Parameters (whina2200m000) session. If the Update Inventory/Order Data check box in this session is selected for the item concerned, the reorder point is updated.

Safety Stock

The safety stock of an item in a specific warehouse.

The purpose of safety stock is to cushion the effect of deviations between expected and actual demand and between:

  • Expected delivery time
  • Actual delivery time

In addition, LN takes the safety stock into account when generating replenishment advice in Enterprise Planning.

Note

The value of safety stock must always be lower than or equal to the maximum inventory. If not, LN displays a message.

Seasonal Pattern for Safety Stock

The seasonal-pattern code for the safety stock.

Through the seasonal pattern selected here you can define a time-dependent safety stock. You can use this seasonal pattern to build a safety stock during a period with low demand for the item.

In the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session, you can view the zone to which the location belongs.

Kanban
Loop Settings
Horizon for Historical Demand

The number of days in the past up to and including the current day for which LN checks the issues for production orders in the Item - Warehouse - Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000) session to calculate the average daily demand. The average daily demand is used to calculate the number of kanban signals.

Horizon for Future Demand

The number of days from the current day onwards for which LN checks the planned issues for production orders in the Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000) session to calculate the average daily demand. Issues planned for a date in the past that are yet to occur are also included. The average daily demand is used to calculate the number of kanban signals.

Offset Date

If this check box is selected, you can specify an offset date for the future horizon in the Offset Date field.

Offset Date

The offset date for the future horizon.

The offset date is the starting point for the future horizon. For example, the current date is January 10th and the future horizon is 14 days. If you specify offset date January 24th, the future horizon spans from January 24th up to February 7th. The default offset date is the current date added with the Stock Coverage.

Average Daily Demand

The average daily demand for (end) items from the current warehouse based on SFC production orders.

The items supplied by the kanban order are used to assemble or produce the (end) items. The average daily demand is used to calculate the number of kanban signals.

Buffer

A percentage of the average daily demand used to calculate the number of kanban signals and the supply quantity of kanban loops. This percentage is added to the average daily demand, which results in a higher supply quantity for the kanban loops. This is used to prevent underdeliveries.

Percentages in excess of 100% are allowed.

Stock Coverage

The number of days within the future horizon, which usually represents the lead time of an end product for which the component demand is covered by the available stock. The lead time is the transport time added with the production time.

The stock coverage is used to calculate number of kanban signals. The stock coverage is manually specified.

Total Supply Quantity

The quantity that must be supplied to a shop floor warehouse.

In a KANBAN environment:

  • The signal supply quantity is the quantity supplied for a kanban signal by a kanban supply order.
  • The total supply quantity is the aggregated supply quantity of the signals defined for an item and warehouse combination.

The total supply quantity is the kanban signal quantity multiplied by the number of signals.

Average Daily Demand
Average Daily Demand - Modification Date

The date and time on which the average daily demand is changed.
