Ownership records

Ownership records are maintained in ownership sessions that you can access from the appropriate menu of the object session:

Object session Ownership session
Receipt Lines (whinh3112s000) Receipt Line Ownership (whinh3521m000)
Outbound Advice (whinh4525m000) Outbound Advice Ownership (whinh4128m000)
Shipment Lines (whinh4131m000) Shipment Line Ownership (whinh4138m000)
Cycle Counting Order Lines (whinh5101m000) Cycle Counting Order Line Ownership (whinh5105m000)
Adjustment Order Lines (whinh5121m000) Adjustment Order Line Ownership (whinh5125m000)

For example, receipt line A lists 15 items B, and in the Receipt Line Ownership (whinh3521m000) session, the following ownership records are present for receipt line A:

Ownership record sequence number Item Quantity To be received into inventory owned by
1 B 4 Business partner C
2 B 6 Business partner D
3 B 5 Company owned

The sequence number identifies the ownership record. LN generates the ownership sequence number when a new ownership record is created.

Generate or manually create ownership records

Ownership records are generated or manually created. It depends on the ownership settings of the order lines associated with the ownership records whether ownership records are created manually or automatically, or whether changing the ownership records is allowed. For further information, see the session help of the relevant ownership sessions.

Note: The total quantity of the ownership records of an object cannot exceed the quantity of the object. In the previous example, receipt line A lists 15 items B, and the total quantity of the three ownership records is also 15. Therefore, you cannot create any more ownership records for receipt line A. If the total quantity of the ownership records would be 10, you could create ownership records for the remaining five items for receipt line A.

To manually create ownership records

To create an ownership record:

  1. From the appropriate menu of the object session, select Ownership to open the ownership session. See the previous table for the object sessions and corresponding ownership sessions.
  2. In the ownership session, click .
  3. Enter the ownership, owner, item quantity, and other details as required.
  4. Save the data.
  5. If required, click to enter another ownership record.

Manually created ownership records for adjustment order lines

For manually created adjustment order line ownership records, you can enter negative quantities for ownership type:

  • consigned
  • customer owned
  • company owned

For a negative adjustment of consigned inventory, LN creates a consumption record in the Consigned Consumptions (whwmd2551m000) session. If the Inventory Discrepancies Paid by Business Partner check box in the Logistics Terms and Conditions (tctrm1140m000) session is selected for the terms and conditions relevant to the purchase order based on which the consigned inventory was originally received, the customer, that is, the party performing the adjustment, must pay for the adjusted consigned inventory. For information on how invoicing is initiated for the consumption record, see Consumption records.

If the Inventory Discrepancies Paid by Business Partner check box in the Logistics Terms and Conditions (tctrm1140m000) session is cleared for the relevant terms and conditions, the supplier pays for the adjusted inventory and reduces their inventory value accordingly. For more information, refer to To perform inventory adjustments.

Negative adjustments for customer-owned inventory are exceptional. The subcontractor, that is, the party performing the adjustment, must pay the customer for the adjusted customer-owned inventory. In LN, standard functionality to support such situations is unavailable, you must manually perform payment.

Negative adjustments of company-owned inventory are processed as described in To perform inventory adjustments.

For manually created adjustment order line ownership records, you can enter positive quantities for ownership type:

  • consigned
  • company owned

Positive adjustments for customer-owned inventory are not allowed.
