In LN, you can differentiate between items at various suppliers:
- Locations (warehouses),
- Purpose (planning, purchase)
- Origin (supplier, warehouse)
Example
An item is supplied by two different suppliers. Supplier A ships in lots of 100 pieces due to how the item is packed. Supplier B ships the goods in units of 60 pieces.
You can define specific parameters for each supplier. The following sessions can be used to define these characteristics:
- Items – Planning (cprpd1100m000)
- Check Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2210m000)
- Item Supplier Plan (cpvmi0530m000)
These sessions define entities that have an n-to-1 relationship with the general item data.
