| # Inventory Consumption Lines (tdsls4141m000) Use this session to view, enter, and maintain the individual consumptions for a combination of item, sold-to business partner, ship-to business partner, and warehouse. These are the consumption issues of a specific item from the customer's or the subcontractor's warehouse. Consumption lines can be created as a result of: Receiving a LoadInventoryConsumption Business Object Document (BOD). Manually entering an inventory consumption line. Note Consumption lines are linked to a consumption header in the Inventory Consumptions (tdsls4140m000) session. If a consumption line is added for which no consumption header record is available yet, this consumption is automatically created in the Inventory Consumptions (tdsls4140m000) session. You can delete registered consumption headers if no related consumption lines exist. Related topics Inventory consumption - process overview Sold-to Business Partner Usually a customer's purchase department, the business partner who orders goods or services from your organization, that owns the configurations you maintain, or for whom you perform a project. Details of the agreement with the sold-to business partner can include the following: Default price and discount agreements Sales order defaults Terms of delivery The related ship-to and invoice-to business partner In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the customer who performs the consumption or for whom the consumption is performed. In a subcontracting context, this is the subcontractor who consumes the materials supplied by the manufacturer to produce the items for the manufacturer. Warehouse The ship-to warehouse. In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the supplier's administrative VMI warehouse, which reflects the customer's "real" warehouse. In a subcontracting context, this is the manufacturer's administrative warehouse, which reflects the subcontractor's warehouse. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one (kit), or exist in multiple product variants (generic item). You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. Examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Consumption Date The date and time the consumption is issued in the customer's or the subcontractor's warehouse. The date can be in the past or in the future. Consumed Quantity The quantity actually consumed by the customer, expressed in the consumption unit. Consumed Quantity The unit in which the consumed quantity is expressed. Price The price the customer expects to pay. This informational field can be especially helpful in case of self-billing, when misunderstandings about the price can be detected at an early stage. Price A generally accepted medium of exchange (such as: coins, treasury notes, and banknotes). LN distinguishes two currency types: Home currency, used internally by companies for example, to calculate costs, to record budgets, and to register tax amounts Transaction currency, used in transactions with business partners, such as orders and invoices Price The unit to which the (sales/purchase) price applies. Customer Order In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, the customer's purchase order ID is used to search for the supplier's sales order/schedule with which the VMI warehouse was replenished. The payment type in the Payment field of the sales order/schedule is used to determine whether invoicing is required for the consumption. This field is empty if the supplier performs supply planning and creates sales orders/schedules to replenish the customer's inventory before the customer sends a purchase order. For example, this occurs in the Supply planning by supplier scenario. For more information, refer to Overview of VMI business scenarios. Related topics Overview of VMI business scenarios How LN processes consumptions - outline VMI order/schedule Vendor managed inventory In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, the customer's purchase order line ID is used to search for the supplier's sales order/schedule line with which the VMI warehouse is replenished. The sales order/schedule is used to determine whether invoicing is required for the consumption. In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, the customer's purchase order sequence ID is used to search for the supplier's sales order/schedule line with which the VMI warehouse is replenished. The sales order/schedule is used to determine whether invoicing is required for the consumption. Packing Slip An order document that shows in detail the contents of a particular package for shipment. The details include a description of the items, the shippers or customers item number, the quantity shipped, and the inventory unit of the shipped items. In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the packing slip used for the shipment to the VMI warehouse. This field is used to search for the corresponding sales schedule shipment and to post it to Central Invoicing. Packing Slip (external) In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the packing slip used for the shipment from the VMI warehouse to the manuafacturer. This packing slip is posted to Central Invoicing for informational purposes only. Shipment Reference A reference used to identify a shipment for a sales schedule line. This field is used to search for the corresponding sales schedule line and to post it to Central Invoicing. Subcontracting Reference The reference that the manufacturer sent to the subcontractor through the subcontracting purchase order. The subcontractor used this reference when reporting the consumption to the manufacturer. Related topics How LN processes consumptions - outline Subcontracting order Overview of subcontracting Allocated-to Reference The reference of the consumed inventory originating from the customer. The reference is one of the attributes that you can define for a specification. LN can attach specifications to order/schedule lines and inventory if the applicable terms and conditions determine that the allocation and hard pegging functionality is used. If inventory is received in the customer's warehouse based on an order/schedule with a reference, the reference is passed on to the inventory. The inventory is then available for consumption issues made for demand orders/schedules with matching references. Related topics Allocation and hard pegging overview Consumption Reference Informational reference to the customer's consumption ID. Related topics How LN processes consumptions - outline VMI order/schedule Vendor managed inventory Return If this check box is selected, the consumed quantity on the consumption line is returned, and is therefore not invoiced. Note If applicable, credit notes are handled by manually created return orders. Related topics Sales return orders Invoicing Required If this check box is selected, the consumed quantity must be invoiced. Therefore, the company owned inventory is reduced and invoicing is performed. LN clears this check box if a subcontracting reference is present in the Subcontracting Reference field for the current consumption line because typically, the subcontractor is not invoiced for materials supplied by the manufacturer that the subcontractor consumes to produce the items for the manufacturer. If no subcontracting reference is present on the consumption line, and no sales order/schedule is found using the Customer Order field, LN checks the Payment field of the Order Terms and Conditions (tctrm1130m000) session for the relevant terms and conditions. If payment is Pay on Use or payment is not defined, invoicing is required. If this check box is cleared, invoicing is not required. Therefore, only the customer owned inventory is reduced and no invoicing is performed. Note The consumption line is not invoiced if: The Return check box is selected. The Packaging Item check box is selected for the item in the Inventory Consumptions (tdsls4140m000) session. Processed If this check box is selected, the consumption line is processed. This means that the related sales orders/schedules, warehouse orders, production order, and purchase orders are updated to decrease inventory in the administrative warehouse and to create invoicing lines if required. Related topics Inventory consumption - process overview Ship-to Business Partner The business partner to which you ship the ordered goods. This usually represents a customer's distribution center or warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business partner. In a vendor managed inventory (VMI) context, this is the distribution center or warehouse of the customer who performs the consumption or for whom the consumption is performed. In a subcontracting context, this is the distribution center or warehouse of the subcontractor who consumes the materials supplied by the manufacturer to produce the items for the manufacturer. Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. Serial Number The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on. Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools. Allocated to Business Partner The supply that fills this demand must have been allocated or hard pegged to the sold-to business partner displayed in the Inventory Consumptions (tdsls4140m000) session. LN uses this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand. Related topics Allocation and hard pegging overview Allocated to Business Object The supply that fills this demand must have been allocated or hard pegged to the type of order displayed in this field. LN uses this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand. Note The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line: Business Object Type Business Object Business Object Reference Allowed values Allocated to Business Object Type Related topics Allocation and hard pegging overview Allocated to Business Object The supply that fills this demand must have been allocated or hard pegged to the order, or order line, displayed in this field.

Note The following fields are always used in combination; together, they identify the relevant order or order line: Business Object Type Business Object Business Object Reference Related topics Allocation and hard pegging overview Allocated to Business Object Reference The order or order line to which the items were allocated. LN can use this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand. Note The combination of the following fields identifies the order or order line to which the ordered items were allocated: Business Object Type Business Object Business Object Reference Related topics Allocation and hard pegging overview Allocated to Reference The supply that fills this demand is allocated or hard pegged to the reference code displayed in this field. LN uses this characteristic to find a matching supply for this demand. LN can use this field in two ways: If the Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer. If the Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference. You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.
