| # Mass Change Item Assignments (tcibd0204m000) Use this session to define or change assignments for a large number of items at once. For example, you can reassign a range of items from buyer Clarke to buyer Frydman, or you can assign all the items that are not assigned to a buyer to buyer Frydman. For ranges of item groups and items you can change the following assignments: The buyer. The planner. The shop floor planner. The routing group. To specify the item selection ERP LN changes the assignments for the items that answer all the selection criteria. For example, if you select to change the buyer, ERP LN changes the buyer assignment for the items that meet all of the following criteria: The items are assigned to the buyer that you select in the Source field or, if you leave the Source field blank, the items that are not assigned to a buyer. The items belong to the specified item group range. The items are ordered from the specified range of buy-from business partners. The items have a planner in the specified planner range. The items have an item code in the specified item code range. Items in the selection range that do not have the buyer, planner, shop floor planner, or routing group assignment specified in the Source field are not changed. This also applies if you leave the Source field blank. In other words, if you want to assign all the unassigned items to a buyer or planner by leaving the Source field blank, all the items in the selected item range that are already assigned to a buyer or planner are not changed. To update the tables ERP LN always updates a number of specific tables for each type of assignment change. You can select additional tables that ERP LN must also update in the Additional Updates group box, or you can select the Update All Records check box to update all the additional tables. See Mass change of item assignments for a list of the tables that must be changed and that can optionally be changed for each type of assignment change.
