Baan/LN Tip of the Week: Differentiating An Item By Supplier - LN

Kathy Barthelt 0 75118 Article rating: No rating

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.

People resist change because there is an element of fear behind change and having to learn something new. Sometimes it’s just that you’re comfortable with how things are done, and you don’t see the need to make any changes.
