Owner

The business partner allocated to the zone. The business partner allocated to the zone is the owner of the inventory stored in the zone or any of the locations of the zone. You can select either a buy-from business partner or a sold-to business partner.

The following restrictions pertain to assigning a business partner to a zone:

• If inventory owned by a particular business partner is stored in the zone, you can only allocate that business partner to the zone.
• If inventory owned by a particular business partner is allocated to the zone or to any location of the zone, you can only allocate that business partner to the zone.
• If a business partner is allocated to any of the locations of the zone, you can only allocate that business partner to the zone.
• If the locations of the zone are allocated to multiple business partners, you cannot allocate the zone to a business partner.

Warehouse

Inventory ownership registration for the entire warehouse. The entire inventory of the warehouse is owned by one particular business partner. For example, this is used for a supplier, who owns the inventory held in consignment in a particular warehouse, usually located at the customer's.

Location

Inventory ownership registration by location. Each location within a warehouse can contain inventory owned by a particular business partner. 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.
