Finding available stock for ownership

The values of the Payment or the Internal Payment fields determine whose stock must be issued in the sense that they deterimine the value of the Ownership field. In turn, if the value of the Ownership field is Customer Owned, LN only issues inventory owned by the business partner that the user specified in the Issue from Business Partner field.

For information on the values of the payment fields and the corresponding value of the ownership fields, see The Payment and Internal Payment fields.

The other values of the Ownership field have no impact on determining the ownership of the stock to be issued. This is determined by the values of the following fields:

• Issue Strategy
• Issue from Business Partner
• Issue Ownership
• Issue Priority

For more information, refer to The Issue Strategy, Issue Ownership, and Issue Priority fields.
