Multisite example - item data in the production scenario

In the production scenario, item data is set up for these entities:

  • Sites SA, SB, and SC
  • Enterprise units EUA, EUB, EUC, and EUS.

At site SA, SB, and SC, the aircraft are manufactured and shipped to the customers. Also, at site SA, the oxygen masks are manufactured.

For enterprise units EUA, EUB, EUC, the standard costs are calculated for the aircraft manufactured at sites SA, SB, and SC. At EUA, the standard costs are calculated for the oxygen masks manufactured at site SA.

For sales unit EUS, the standard cost is based on the intercompany transfer price from the production unit to the sales unit.

This item data must be set up for the oxygen masks and the completed aircraft:

  • Item by site

    In the Items by Site (tcibd1550m000) session, set the supply source to Job Shop for all sites, the oxygen masks, and the three types of aircraft. You can also specify data such as configuration and customization settings.
  • Item-ordering by site

    In the Items - Ordering by Site (tcibd2150m000) session, for each site and type of aircraft, specify the default warehouse in which the completed aircraft are stored. In this example, this is the warehouse in which the aircraft are inspected after production.

    For the oxygen masks, at site SA this is the warehouse in which the completed masks are stored after production. As sites SB and SC, this is the warehouse in which the purchased oxygen masks are received from the supplier.

  • Item-production by site

    In the Items - Production by Site (tiipd0151m000) session, specify that inbound inspection is required after production for each type of completed aircraft at each site.

    Specify that inbound inspection is required for the purchased oxygen masks received from the supplier for sites SB and SC. For site SA, specify that outbound inspection is required for the completed oxygen masks before they are fitted into the airplane cabins.

  • Item-warehousing by site

    In the Item - Warehousing by Site (whwmd4604m000) session, specify data such as the default package definition, and settings for locations, serialization, or handling units for the warehouses at each site in which the oxygen masks or the aircraft are stored.

    For example, data that apply to the warehouses in which the oxygen masks are received and issued at site SA, and data that apply to the inspection and finished goods warehouses for the Eagle Midrange at site SB.

  • Item costing by enterprise unit

    See Item costing by enterprise unit in Multisite example - item data in the intercompany trade scenario.

Note: To specify specific item data for an individual site, clear the Use Global check box in the site-related sessions mentioned in the previous list.
