Combine Warehouse Orders End Item

If you report an end-item quantity as completed, you can choose to receive the end items in the warehouse immediately, or in a later stage. Usually, for every quantity that is received in the warehouse, a production warehouse order line is generated. If you receive the end items in the warehouse in a later stage, you can use this check box to combine production warehouse order lines, which limits database growth.

If this check box is selected, and you do not immediately receive the completed quantities in the warehouse, production warehouse order lines for the completed end-item quantities are combined into one production warehouse order line. As a result, the number of receipt transactions and variance transactions is reduced.

If this check box is cleared, and you do not immediately receive the completed quantities in the warehouse, a production warehouse order line is created for every completed quantity.

Performance aspects

The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Combine production warehouse order lines.

Note: 

• The materials quantities that have already been issued are displayed in the Actual Quantity field in the Estimated vs. Actual Material Costs (ticst0501m000) session.
• This parameter only affects materials for quantity-dependent materials.
• This parameter does not affect cost items.

Allowed values

Allocations and Return Bookings

The reduction of the allocation can exceed the sum of the quantity in the Subsequent Delivery field and the quantity in the To Issue field. In this case, the Subsequent Delivery field is set to zero, and the value of the To Issue field becomes negative. The negative quantity in the To Issue field means that this quantity is posted back to inventory. The value of the Actual Quantity field is reduced by the same quantity.

Only Allocations

The allocation of material is reduced. The Subsequent Delivery field and the To Issue field in the Material to Issue for Production Orders (ticst0101m100) session are reduced by the same quantity. The Subsequent Delivery field and the To Issue field can be reduced to zero but cannot become negative. This condition also limits the reduction of the allocations. Any issued quantities remain unchanged.

Note: While calculating this reduction, the sum of the To Issue field, the Subsequent Delivery field, and the Actual Quantity field is assumed to match the operation's quantity-planned input.

Nothing

The allocations and issued quantities are not affected in any way, not even when the Quantity Ordered field is changed for Created production orders without regenerating the orders ( Update Method in the Production Order (tisfc0101s000) details session is No Action or Recalculate).
