Defining the Inventory Business Setup

Only one Inventory Business Setup can be defined per business unit.

Some of these settings, for example, open period and date ranges, over commitment tolerances, can be overridden by Miscellaneous Permissions, which are maintained using Security. Other settings, for example, inventory allocation fields can be overridden by the item master settings and movement type.

Note: Any changes to this form apply to the current business unit only, as shown on the status bar at the bottom of the form.

The inventory module is defined using Inventory Business (IBS) which contains the following:

System
Defining Periods and Dates
Rules
Inventory Allocation
Batch/Serial Numbers
