Inventory management department

An inventory management department has been introduced. This department, which can be specified on a warehouse, is responsible for the administrative processes of the warehouse, including all orders and warehouse planning.

On an intercompany trade order, some data, such as business partner data, can be specified by department. For a warehouse, the accounting department that is specified in the financial parameters of the warehouse's financial company is used. However, if an inventory management department has been specified on a warehouse, this department is used. This is particularly required when multiple registrations for different countries have been specified within one financial company, because data such as payment terms and financial business partner group vary by country. In this way, logistical data and financial data can be specified on a much more detailed level. The inventory management department is displayed on the intercompany trade order.

Just like to any other department, employees can be linked to an inventory management department. Consequently, these employees can book expenses in People, trigger intercompany trade orders, and use the inventory management department.
