Assignment of an Item to a Branch/Plant
You can assign an item to a branch/plant to indicate where the item is located. The information about an item might differ from warehouse to warehouse. For example, taxes might be applicable to an item in one warehouse but not in another. You might also have different quantity requirements for items, depending on the warehouse. Every JD Edwards JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system that retrieves item information searches for the item branch/plant information before using item master information.
When you add branch/plant information, the system creates a record in the Item Branch File table (F4102) and stores information that is specific to Service Management in the Item Branch Master - Service/Warranty Extension table (F41171).
