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

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)

  • Item Supplier Plan (cpvmi0530m000)

These sessions define entities that have an n-to-1 relationship with the general item data.
