Order Management looks either in the Item Validation Organization or the Shipping Warehouse (organization) to retrieve the value of an item attribute. The Item Validation Organization is defined by the OM System Parameter Item Validation Organization.
In Order Management, some item attributes are derived and used internally, while other attributes are defaulted on the Sales Order Line by using the seeded defaulting rules. Customers can change the defaulting rules to suit their business needs. Attributes are categorized as Only Source and Defaulting Source to differentiate the usage.
