Use

If only a limited amount of information can be made available by the store, for organizational or technical reasons (when data is entered in the store using a handheld reader, for example, and only the article identification and quantity are available), the system attempts to add the data during offline processing. This means that, in many cases, errors are avoided, and follow-on documents are created successfully.

Features

Before the system can add missing data to a store order, the data concerned must be maintained in the central system. Depending on the document category, the following information is added automatically by the system, if it is needed to create the follow-on document:

The distribution chain can be found for customers for which no site master record exists.

If no document category exists in a store order, the system searches for the information in Customizing. In Customizing you can enter default control parameters in a profile. You then assign the profile to a store at general site level or at merchandise category level, or to a customer at assortment control level.

Depending on the source of supply (internal or external) and the application (Replenishment or Store Ordering), you can enter certain default values for the document category. If no details exist, the system uses the general default value.

The delivery type can be configured in Customizing for store order control.

A source of supply must be determined for a store order item in the following situations:

- No source of supply was entered in the IDoc.

- A source of supply was specified in the IDoc. A sourcing check is still carried out, but this determines that the source of supply is invalid.

The same procedure is used in supply source determination as is used, for example, in replenishment planning.

Note

In Customizing for the store order, you can set the system so that supply source determination does not search for outline agreements. If you do not use outline agreements, this improves performance and processing time for the store order.

Example

Adding the unit of measure to a purchasing document

No unit of measure was specified for an item for article 500004711, quantity 90. You want to create a purchase order. On the basis of the settings in the Customizing system, the system first checks whether an order unit has been maintained in the article master record. Since no order unit has been maintained, the system determines the base unit of measure, which in this case is piece.

The system then checks whether the quantity should be rounded. A rounding profile is entered for the article specifying that if the order contains a quantity of 80 pieces or more, the system should round the order up to a pallet (100 pieces). As a result, the system orders a pallet.
