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.

Not Applicable

Ownership registration is not used.

The default value in this field is Warehouse. The value that you select in this field is taken as the default value for the Registration Level field in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.

The following constraints apply to the values of this list:

Owned Inventory First

Outbound advice for owned inventory is issued before not-owned inventory.

Not Owned Inventory First

Outbound advice for not-owned inventory is issued before owned inventory.

Not Applicable

Outbound advice is not used in the current warehouse, for example, because the warehouse is a financial warehouse.

The default value for this field is Free. However, this value is not available if the value in the Registration Level field is Warehouse. The value that you select in this field is taken as the default value for the Registration Level field in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.

List value Not Owned Inventory First is applicable to manufactured items, purchased items, and generic items.

Ownership for Return to Warehouse

This field determines how to handle the ownership for production return orders. On a production order, a business partner is not known. As a result, Manufacturing cannot read an agreement.

• Their associated inventory carrying costs are low.
• They are present on the job shop.
• Issues may not be entered manually.

The item originating from the floor stock can appear as a component in the production bill of material or as material in the formula. In the case of a production order containing floor stock items, the estimated and actual data are the same. This means that the estimated quantities are automatically issued from inventory. With backflushing these are the quantities, calculated on the basis of the output of the production order or the quantity in the production batch.

If this check box is cleared, the item does not originate from the floor stock and costing is based on the actual usage.

• Last Period's Demand, using the demand in the previous period as a forecast for the consecutive period.

These methods must be predefined in the Forecast Methods (whina2100m000) session. The forecast method is only used in the Calculate Demand Forecast (whina2202m000) session. In which it serves to compute:

• The demand forecast for the next period
• The safety stock
• The reorder point
• The expected annual issue for each item

ABC Code

The ABC code shows each item's contribution to the annual sales volume. A items are high-value items, whereas C items constitute low-value items.

Manually Entered ABC Code

If this check box is selected, the ABC code has been entered manually in the ABC Code field. LN will not calculate and overwrite unless the proper option is selected in the Perform ABC Analysis (whina6210m000) session.
