Include in Enterprise Planning

If this check box is selected, the transactions recorded for this warehouse are taken into account in the Generate Master Planning (cprmp1202m000) session and the Generate Order Planning (cprrp1210m000) session in Enterprise Planning . If this check box is cleared, any inventory on hand and planned warehouse transactions recorded for this warehouse will be ignored in the planning process. The inventory in this warehouse is also ignored when the ATP is checked upon entry of sales orders and quotations. You can use such a warehouse to store rejected items and other inventory that is not intended to fulfill item demand.

Note: 

This check box is cleared and cannot be changed if the Warehouse Type field is one of the following:

  • Project
  • Service Customer Owned
  • Service Reject
  • Consignment (Owned)
  • Financial
Note: 
  • If you change this check box from cleared to selected, the transactions recorded for this warehouse are included in the next regenerative run. A net-change run will not take this warehouse's transactions into account, because the system does not set the net-change flag.
  • Before you can clear this check box, you must first delete any existing planned order recorded for this warehouse. No plan item must use this warehouse as its default warehouse in the Items - Planning (cprpd1100m000) session or the Item Planning Defaults (cprpd1110m000) session.

  • If you select this check box for a warehouse of type Service, the effects are:

    • The order-planning process takes the service requirements into account.
    • Planned production orders can consume the inventory in the warehouse.

    The first effect is usually intended, the second effect can be an undesired side-effect. To avoid that planned production orders consume inventory in a service warehouse, you can assign the service warehouse and the production warehouse to two different clusters.
