Documentation

Definition

Indicates that, when goods are delivered from a vendor to a distribution center and then to the recipient, merchandise distribution data is generated at the same time as follow-on documents for the allocation table.

Note:

When goods are delivered direct to a recipient (third-party) or from a DC to the recipient (allocation out of stock), no distribution data is generated.

Use

Procurement takes place in two steps in the following cases:

  • You use an item category in an allocation table for two-step procurement and generate vendor orders and warehouse orders (or deliveries) as follow-on documents.

  • You create an allocation table referencing a purchase order or a shipping notification, and only generate warehouse orders (or deliveries) as follow-on documents.

If distribution data is generated, the data is brought into line (see adjustment) with the quantities actually delivered at goods receipt. Subsequent processing (e.g. generation of distribution orders and deliveries) is done in Merchandise Distribution.

If you do not want the plant quantities to be adjusted following goods receipt in the DC in a two-step procurement process, you can use this indicator to suppress the creation of distribution data. The follow-on documents generated for the allocation table are then processed using the Shipping functions (e.g. generation of deliveries via a delivery-due list).
