Inventory management departments

An inventory management department is used to group one or more warehouses.

You can set up specific business partner role data by inventory management department.

If multiple tax registrations in different countries are present for a financial company, the inventory management department enables you to use the registrations of different tax countries as default values for warehouses. In this way, the tax registration and the tax country of the warehouse can be specified on the intercompany trade invoice sent by the warehouse.

Employees such as order pickers or goods receipts officials can be linked to an inventory management department, which enables you to book expenses based on the inventory management department.

Conditions

You can link multiple warehouses to an inventory management department, but a warehouse can be linked to only one inventory management department. To link a warehouse to an inventory management department, the warehouse and the inventory management department must be linked to the same enterprise unit.

Inventory management departments are not mandatory for warehouses.
