| Ownership Registration Level |  |
| The following options determine the way ownership is registered in inventory. For further information on ownership registration, see Ownership registration setup in Warehousing. Warehouse Inventory ownership registration for the entire warehouse. The entire inventory of the warehouse is owned by one particular business partner. For example, this is used for a supplier, who owns the inventory held in consignment in a particular warehouse, usually located at the customer's. Location Inventory ownership registration by location. Each location within a warehouse can contain inventory owned by a particular business partner. Locations can be allocated to a business partner, and the inventory stored in a particular location is owned by the business partner to which the location is allocated. Physical Item Inventory ownership registration by individual item. To enable ownership registration for an individual item, the item must be contained in a handling unit. Note, however, that no reference is made to any subdivisions of the warehouse, such as locations or zones. In fact, the owner of the item contained in the handling unit can be different from the business partner of the location in which the handling unit is stored. Note also that a handling unit can contain child handling units, each owned by a different business partner. Physical Item and Location Inventory ownership registration by location and individual item. To enable ownership registration for an individual item, the item must be contained in a handling unit. The items contained in the handling units stored in a particular location are owned by the business partner to which the location is allocated. Not Applicable Ownership registration is not used. |
