Default data

Much of the common data is default data, which you can replace with more specific data when you enter orders and carry out transactions. Depending on the type of data, LN usually searches for transaction data in this order:

  1. Transaction-specific data
  2. Entity-specific data
  3. Enterprise unit data
  4. Company data

Example

If you require calendar data, LN uses the calendar that you have selected for the departments, employees, warehouses, and business partners. If no specific calendar is found, LN uses the enterprise-unit calendar. If you did not select a calendar for the enterprise unit, LN uses the company calendar.

Most of the business partner data is default data, such as the default warehouse, the price list, and the invoicing method. You can enter other data when you enter the actual orders. If you ship goods to a ship-to business partner, you can enter a warehouse. The warehouse that you entered in the definition of the ship-to business partner is the default warehouse.
