Generating general item data by site

General item data by site are generated in the Generate Master Data (tccom0231m000) session by selecting the Common and clicking Generate.

After selecting the Common check box and clicking Generate in the Generate Master Data (tccom0231m000) session, LN generates Common item data by site in these sessions:

  • Items by Site (tcibd1550m000)
  • Items - Ordering by Site (tcibd2150m000)
  • Date-Effective Supply Source by Site (tcibd1155m000).

To generate general item data by site, for each item present in the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, LN completes these steps:

  1. Check whether data is present in the Item Defaults by Site (tcibd1551m000) session.
  2. If yes, based on the default data, generate item data by site in the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session. For these items, by default the Use Global Item check box is cleared in the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session.

  3. If no, check whether the item is present in any of these sessions:

    • Item Control and Defaults by Site (tcibd1552m000)
    • Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000)
    • Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000)
    • Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000)
    • Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000)
    • Items - Sales (tdisa0501m000)
    • Item - Purchase
    • Items - Service (tsmdm2100m000)
    • Planned Inventory Transactions (whinp1500m000)
    • Item - Warehouse - Inventory Transactions (whinr1510m000)
  4. If no, take no further action. No data is generated.
  5. If yes, retrieve the site of the warehouse of the item.
  6. Add the site to the item data in the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session. For these items, by default the Use Global Item check box is selected in the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session.

For the Date-Effective Supply Source by Site (tcibd1155m000) session, data is also generated based on data from the Date-Effective Supply Source (tcibd0510m000) session and the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session.

Supply sources

For non-planned items, and items for which no item-ordering data is present, the default supply source is set to Distribution in the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session.

For all other items, the default supply source is retrieved from the Actual Supply Source field of the Items (tcibd0501m000) session.
