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 Items - 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.

By default, LN takes the data from the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session. Clear the Use Item Ordering Data check box, if you want to define exceptions for the item-warehouse combination.

When generating order advice, by default LN uses data from the Items - 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.

Active: If the status is Active, you can use the warehouse and item combination in Warehousing .

Note: If the item warehouse status is Active, you cannot change it to Tentative.

Storage Zone

The code of the zone where the item is stored. This zone is used only in warehouses that do not use locations.

Note: This field is for information only.

Default Location Type for Inbound Advice

The type of location to which the received items are preferably advised.

Receiving location

The location in which the received goods are placed while they await the generation of an inbound advice.

Pick location

The inventory location designated for order picking purposes. A pick location is mainly used for the outbound of small quantities and/or containers that can be replenished by bulk locations.

Bulk location

The location used mainly for large inbound quantities and/or containers and to indicate from which pick locations can be replenished.

Staging location

A shipping dock in the warehouse where items are held just before they are placed on any means of transport for shipment.

Inspection location

A type of inventory location exclusively designated to store items that are eligible for inspection upon receipt.

After the items have passed inspection, they are transferred to:

A normal location if they are approved.
A quarantine location if they are rejected.

Goods in an inspection location are always considered to be on-hold inventory.

Quarantine location

A type of warehouse location in which goods initially rejected during warehousing inspection or production are stored for further examination to determine their disposition.

Note: In locations of type Receiving, stock points are not supported.

Default value

LN retrieves the default value from the Default Location Type field in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.

This parameter does not affect the following special cases:

If the received items must be crossdocked, LN advises the received items preferably to a staging location.
If the received items must be inspected, LN always advises the received items to the inspection location. After the item is approved during inspection, the item is advised to the type of location as specified in the current field.
If a package definition is specified on the receipt, LN preferably advises the received items to a location of the Location Type that is specified in the Package Definition Levels (whwmd4120s000) session.

If LN cannot advise the received items to a location of the preferred location type (either Bulk or Pick) and there is no package definition defined for the received items, LN advises the received items to a location of the other location type (either Pick or Bulk).

Locations can be allocated to a business partner, and the inventory stored in a particular location is owned by the business partner to which the location is allocated.

Physical Item

Inventory ownership registration by individual item. To enable ownership registration for an individual item, the item must be contained in a handling unit. Note, however, that no reference is made to any subdivisions of the warehouse, such as locations or zones. In fact, the owner of the item contained in the handling unit can be different from the business partner of the location in which the handling unit is stored.

Note also that a handling unit can contain child handling units, each owned by a different business partner.

Physical Item and Location

Inventory ownership registration by location and individual item. To enable ownership registration for an individual item, the item must be contained in a handling unit. The items contained in the handling units stored in a particular location are owned by the business partner to which the location is allocated.

For example, variable package definition A has a template including one pallet containing 10 boxes, and each box contains 10 items B.

Handling unit 001 is staged and contains one pallet, 8 full boxes and one box containing four items B.

16 items B are picked from inventory. If this check box is selected, these items are added to handling unit 001: 6 items B are put in the partially filled box and the remaining 10 items B are packed in a box and put on the pallet.

Generate Handling Units Automatically during

Creation ASN

The settings that control automatic generation of handling units from advance shipment notices that include the selected item and the current warehouse.

Always

Always generate handling units automatically from inbound ASNs.

Handling Unit Received

Generate a handling unit if the inbound ASN includes handling unit codes provided by the supplier. LN generates an internal handling unit code if the external handling unit field has a value. If LN generates an internal handling unit code, LN creates an internal handling unit code that is identical to the external handling unit code. However, if an identical handling unit code exists in LN before the arrival of the ASN, this would result in duplicate records. In such cases, LN generates a new unique internal handling unit code using the mask functionality. The new internal code is also saved on the ASN.

For Ownership/Specification

Generate a handling unit when an inbound advance shipment notice (ASN) is created and the the value of the ownership registration level for the item, warehouse and business partner is Physical Item or Physical Item and Location.

Note that for this option to work, for the current warehouse and/or item, handling units must be in use for receipts, inbound and outbound inspections, and shipments. For further information about other settings required for handling units and ownership registration, see Ownership registration setup in Warehousing.

Dynamic Cross-docking

If this check box is selected, dynamic cross-docking is possible for this item-warehouse combination.

Note:

This field can only be selected if the Dynamic Cross-docking check box is selected in both of the following sessions:
- Warehouses (whwmd2500m000)
- Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000)
If a cross-dock order exists for this warehouse or item, you cannot clear this check box.

Generate Cross-dock Order for Outbound Advice Shortage

If this check box is selected, and, after generating an outbound advice, an inventory shortage occurs, a cross-dock order is created for the inventory shortage.

Note: In the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, you can still select or clear this check box. However, if you generate an outbound advice directly, for example, from within the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, this option applies to the warehouse-item level ( Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000)/ Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000)).

It is strongly recommended to select this option, if both of the following applies:

The Generate Cross-dock Order Lines when Confirming Receipt check box is selected.
The warehouse and/or the item is not location controlled.

Priority Definition

cross-dock priority definition

Note:

The default value is the value as defined in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.
If this field is empty when creating a cross-dock order, the cross-dock order priority definition will be retrieved from the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.

Restriction Definition

cross-dock restriction definition

Minimum Cross-dock Quantity

No cross-dock orders will be generated for quantities less than this value.

Note:

The value in this field is defaulted from the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.
You can always manually create cross-dock orders that do not comply with the values of the quantity fields. These fields only apply to the generation of cross-dock orders during release to warehousing and the Generate Cross-dock Orders (whinh6200m000) session.

Maximum Cross-dock Quantity

No cross-dock orders will be generated for quantities more than this value.

Note:

The value in this field is defaulted from the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.
You can always manually create cross-dock orders that do not comply with the values of the quantity fields. These fields only apply to the generation of cross-dock orders during release to warehousing and the Generate Cross-dock Orders (whinh6200m000) session.

Create Cross-dock Order for Maximum

Indicates whether a cross-dock order will be generated for the maximum cross-dock quantity if the ordered quantity of the outbound order line is more than the quantity defined in the Maximum Cross-dock Quantity field.

Note:

The value in this field is defaulted from the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.
You can always manually create cross-dock orders that do not comply with the values of the quantity fields. These fields only apply to the generation of cross-dock orders during release to warehousing and the Generate Cross-dock Orders (whinh6200m000) session.

Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing

Generate Cross-dock Order when Rel. Order

Never

No cross-dock orders are created.

Always

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . Every cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity.

Time Phased Shortage

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . For each order, LN checks whether there will be an inventory shortage on the planned delivery date. In case of inventory shortage, a cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity. The expected inventory is calculated based on the following types of transactions:

On-hand inventory
Planned issue transactions
Planned receipt transactions

Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts

Cross-dock orders are created for the entire order quantity of the outbound order line, when the time phased inventory is less than zero. You can select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, when you are not certain about the supplier's on-time delivery performance.

If you select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, the expected time phased inventory on the planned delivery date is calculated based on:

Current available inventory ( inventory on hand less the inventory blocked).
Planned inventory issue transactions, including:
- Inventory issue transactions for the planned delivery date.
- Other issue orders within the order lead time, but cannot be replenished with that time.

Time phased inventory = available inventory - planned inventory issue transactions

The planned inventory receipt transactions are excluded from the calculation. Therefore, the receipt transactions are not added to the expected time phased inventory.

Note: When an issue order is released to Warehousing or when you create a manual warehouse issue order, the value of the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session determines how the time phased inventory on the planned delivery date of the outbound order line is calculated.

Cross-docking Time Fence

The minimum and maximum time fence tolerances for the receipt date.

Force Cross-docking Range

If the receipt quantity of the receipt line is between the minimum and maximum quantities specified, LN will look for demand and try to cross-dock the goods accordingly.
