Field Information

Sold-to Business Partner

sold-to business partner

• In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the customer who performs the consumption or for whom the consumption is performed.
• In a subcontracting context, this is the subcontractor who consumes the materials supplied by the manufacturer to produce the items for the manufacturer.

Warehouse

The ship-to warehouse.

• In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the supplier's administrative VMI warehouse, which reflects the customer's "real" warehouse.
• In a subcontracting context, this is the manufacturer's administrative warehouse, which reflects the subcontractor's warehouse.

Item

Consumption Date

The date and time the consumption is issued in the customer's or the subcontractor's warehouse. The date can be in the past or in the future.

Consumed Quantity

The quantity actually consumed by the customer, expressed in the consumption unit.

Consumed Quantity Unit

The unit in which the consumed quantity is expressed.

Price

The price the customer expects to pay. This informational field can be especially helpful in case of self-billing, when misunderstandings about the price can be detected at an early stage.

Customer Order

In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, the customer's purchase order ID is used to search for the supplier's sales order/schedule with which the VMI warehouse was replenished. The payment type in the Payment field of the sales order/schedule is used to determine whether invoicing is required for the consumption.

This field is empty if the supplier performs supply planning and creates sales orders/schedules to replenish the customer's inventory before the customer sends a purchase order. For example, this occurs in the Supply planning by supplier scenario. For more information, refer to Overview of VMI business scenarios.

Customer Order Position

In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, the customer's purchase order line ID is used to search for the supplier's sales order/schedule line with which the VMI warehouse is replenished. The sales order/schedule is used to determine whether invoicing is required for the consumption.

Customer Order Sequence

In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, the customer's purchase order sequence ID is used to search for the supplier's sales order/schedule line with which the VMI warehouse is replenished. The sales order/schedule is used to determine whether invoicing is required for the consumption.

Customer Contract Reference

customer contract reference

This reference is used to locate the corresponding sales schedule.

Note: This field is applicable only if the Use Customer Contract Reference for Schedules check box is selected in the Sales Schedule Parameters (tdsls0100s500) session.

Reference

The reference that you received from your business partner.

This reference is used to find the corresponding sales schedule.

Shipment Reference

A reference communicated by the customer to identify the shipment, such as a transport ID or a customer shipment number. If you use pick-up sheets, this number is used to identify the pick-up sheet to which the sales schedule line is linked.

This reference is used to find the corresponding sales schedule.

Subcontracting Reference

The reference that the manufacturer sent to the subcontractor through the subcontracting purchase order. The subcontractor uses this reference when reporting the consumption to the manufacturer.

Allocated-to Reference

The reference of the consumed inventory originating from the customer. The reference is one of the attributes that you can define for a specification. LN can attach specifications to order/schedule lines and inventory if the applicable terms and conditions determine that the allocation and hard pegging functionality is used.

If inventory is received in the customer's warehouse based on an order/schedule with a reference, the reference is passed on to the inventory. The inventory is then available for consumption issues made for demand orders/schedules with matching references.

Consumption Reference

Informational reference to the customer's consumption ID.

Return

If this check box is selected, the consumed quantity on the consumption line is returned, and is therefore not invoiced.

Note: If applicable, credit notes are handled by manually created return orders.

Invoicing Required

If this check box is selected, the consumed quantity must be invoiced. Therefore, the company owned inventory is reduced and invoicing is performed.

LN clears this check box if a subcontracting reference is present in the Subcontracting Reference field for the current consumption line because typically, the subcontractor is not invoiced for materials supplied by the manufacturer that the subcontractor consumes to produce the items for the manufacturer.

If no subcontracting reference is present on the consumption line, and no sales order/schedule is found using the Customer Order field, LN checks the Payment field of the Order Terms and Conditions (tctrm1130m000) session for the relevant terms and conditions. If payment is Pay on Use or payment is not defined, invoicing is required.

If this check box is cleared, invoicing is not required. Therefore, only the customer owned inventory is reduced and no invoicing is performed.

Note: 

The consumption line is not invoiced if:

• The Return check box is selected.
• The Packaging Item check box is selected for the item in the Inventory Consumptions (tdsls4140m000) session.

Processed

If this check box is selected, the consumption line is processed. This means that the related sales orders/schedules, warehouse orders, production order, and purchase orders are updated to decrease inventory in the administrative warehouse and to create invoicing lines if required.

Packing Slip

packing slip

In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the packing slip used for the shipment to the VMI warehouse.

This field is used to search for the corresponding sales schedule shipment and to post it to Invoicing .

Packing Slip (external)

In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the packing slip used for the shipment from the VMI warehouse to the manufacturer.

Note: This field must be specified if the External Packing Slip is Mandatory check box is selected for the applicable terms and conditions in the Schedule Terms and Conditions (tctrm1131m000) session.

Ship-to Business Partner

ship-to business partner

• In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the distribution center or warehouse of the customer who performs the consumption or for whom the consumption is performed.
• In a subcontracting context, this is the distribution center or warehouse of the subcontractor who consumes the materials supplied by the manufacturer to produce the items for the manufacturer.

Note: 

The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line:

• Business Object Type
• Business Object
• Business Object Reference

Business Object Reference

The order or order line to which the items were allocated.

LN can use this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand.

Note: 

The combination of the following fields identifies the order or order line to which the ordered items were allocated:

• Business Object Type

• Business Object Reference

Allocated to Reference

The supply that fills this demand is allocated or hard pegged to the reference code displayed in this field.

LN uses this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand.

LN can use this field in two ways:

• If the Sold-to Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
• If the Sold-to Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.
