Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000)

Use this session to view and maintain data and settings for items stored in particular warehouses.

LN automatically generates warehouse and item combinations in the current session when:

  • Starting from the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session, item ordering data is created in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session and item warehousing data is created in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.
  • An order is created for an item-warehouse combination that is not available in the current session.

By default, LN takes the data from the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session. Clear the Use Item Ordering Data check box, if you want to define exceptions for the item-warehouse combination.

When generating order advice, by default LN uses data from the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session or the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session as input. Clear the Use Item Ordering Data check box if order advice must be based on data from the current session. For more information, refer to Input data for order advice (SIC).

If you want to delete items from a warehouse, LN checks whether inventory on hand, allocations, or planned receipts of the item are present before deleting items. If this is the case, the item is not deleted.

If you specify offset date January 24th, the future horizon spans from January 24th up to February 7th. The default offset date is the current date added with the Stock Coverage.

Average Daily Demand

The average daily demand for (end) items from the current warehouse based on Job Shop Control production orders.

The items supplied by the kanban order are used to assemble or produce the (end) items. The average daily demand is used to calculate the number of kanban signals.

Buffer

A percentage of the average daily demand used to calculate the number of kanban signals and the supply quantity of kanban loops. This percentage is added to the average daily demand, which results in a higher supply quantity for the kanban loops. This is used to prevent underdeliveries.

Percentages in excess of 100% are allowed.

Stock Coverage

The number of days within the future horizon, which usually represents the lead time of an end product for which the component demand is covered by the available stock. The lead time is the transport time added with the production time.

The stock coverage is used to calculate number of kanban signals. The stock coverage is manually specified.

Total Supply Quantity

supply quantity

The total supply quantity is the kanban signal quantity multiplied by the number of signals.

Generate Handling Units Automatically during
Creation ASN

The settings that control automatic generation of handling units from advance shipment notices that include the selected item and the current warehouse.

Allowed values

Always

Always generate handling units automatically from inbound ASNs.

Handling Unit Received

Generate a handling unit if the inbound ASN includes handling unit codes provided by the supplier. LN generates an internal handling unit code if the external handling unit field has a value. If LN generates an internal handling unit code, LN creates an internal handling unit code that is identical to the external handling unit code. However, if an identical handling unit code exists in LN before the arrival of the ASN, this would result in duplicate records. In such cases, LN generates a new unique internal handling unit code using the mask functionality. The new internal code is also saved on the ASN.

For Ownership/Specification

Generate a handling unit when an inbound advance shipment notice (ASN) is created and the value of the ownership registration level for the item, warehouse and business partner is Physical Item or Physical Item and Location.

Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing
Generate Cross-dock Order when Rel. Order

Allowed values

Never

No cross-dock orders are created.

Always

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . Every cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity.

Time Phased Shortage

Cross-dock orders are created when, for example, sales orders are released to Warehousing . For each order, LN checks whether there will be an inventory shortage on the planned delivery date. In case of inventory shortage, a cross-dock order is created for the entire order quantity. The expected inventory is calculated based on the following types of transactions:

  • On-hand inventory
  • Planned issue transactions
  • Planned receipt transactions
Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts

Cross-dock orders are created for the entire order quantity of the outbound order line, when the time phased inventory is less than zero. You can select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, when you are not certain about the supplier's on-time delivery performance.

If you select the Time Phased Shortage, Ignoring Receipts option, the expected time phased inventory on the planned delivery date is calculated based on:

  • Current available inventory ( inventory on hand less the inventory blocked).
  • Planned inventory issue transactions, including:
    • Inventory issue transactions for the planned delivery date.
    • Other issue orders within the order lead time, but cannot be replenished with that time.
Time phased inventory = available inventory - planned inventory issue transactions 

The planned inventory receipt transactions are excluded from the calculation. Therefore, the receipt transactions are not added to the expected time phased inventory.

Note: When an issue order is released to Warehousing or when you create a manual Warehousing issue order, the value of the Generate Cross-dock Order when Releasing Order to Warehousing field in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session determines how the inventory on the planned delivery date of the outbound order line is calculated.
Cross-docking Time Fence
Cross-docking Time Fence
