With the direct linkage method, the heat number is directly assigned to the inventory item, which means the material is received on site and booked into the inventory with the heat number, and it can only be issued or transferred with the heat number. Inventory items with the same ident code but different heat numbers are handled separately in the inventory.
The picture below shows an example of an item shipment with a quantity of 20 that was split on four inventory receipts with different heat numbers and a total received quantity of 20.
The following applies to an MRR with revision 0:
-
Heat numbers can be assigned to the MRR line items.
-
The total quantity of the heat number items must not exceed the item shipment quantity.
-
Heat numbers of the same item shipment can be booked on different warehouses/locations.
You can type the heat number in the Heat Number box, or select an existing heat number from the LOV. Heat numbers directly linked to inventory items are stored on the C.10.04 Heat Numbers screen.
Double-click in the Heat Number box to open C.10.04 Heat Numbers.
Inventory items are created for each heat number assigned to the item shipment and displayed on the inventory screens.
Transfer of inventory items with directly linked heat numbers uses the ident code in combination with the assigned heat number.
Material issue from the inventory uses the ident code in combination with the assigned heat number.
The C.20.16 Inventory Heat Numbers screen allows you to check the status of directly linked heat numbers.
