Master Data Changes
Master data that is used by the Billing product includes:
- Consignees (Ship-to Customers)
- Consignors
- Suppliers (Vendors)
- Carriers
- Items
- Locations
When master data is changed in WM , you only need to perform maintenance within
the Billing system if you have different rates structures for item groups, trading
partner groups, carrier groups, or location groups. For example, if you have a different
rate structure for different item groups, you'll create each unique item group and
assign the appropriate items to those groups. As new items are added in the WM, you can
ensure they are added to the appropriate item groups. . The same concept applies to
trading partners (Consignees, Consignors, Suppliers/Vendors), carriers, and locations.
Note: The Billing system also uses the Owner and Owner Bill-To records from the
WM as Billing
Customers and Bill-To customers; however, as all appropriate values are set from
within the WM, no
additional review or updating is required from within the Billing application.
There may be a small time delay between the data being changed in the WM and its availability to be grouped in the Billing product.
