Create a Discrete Unit Division

Discrete unit divisions are an optional way to divide up a discrete unit location without needing to create other discrete unit locations as sub-locations. Discrete unit divisions can also be set up within discrete unit divisions.

A discrete unit division can only be moved to another discrete unit division within the same discrete unit location, or to the parent discrete unit location. A discrete unit division cannot be moved to a different discrete unit location. For example, in the following structure in the Solution Explorer, DU Division 1A could be moved up to DU Location 1, but not to DU Location 2 or DU Division 2:

  • Business Area 1 > DU Location 1 > DU Division 1 > DU Division 1A
  • Business Area 1 > DU Location 2 > DU Division 2

Security Note: You need the Allow location maintenance security right in the Supply Chain user group security rights group for this activity.

Activity Steps

  1. Select the Supply Chain panel in the Solution Explorer.
  2. Expand the Supply Chain » Business Areas node.
  3. Perform one of the following steps:
    1. To create a top-level discrete unit division, right-click the discrete unit location and select New » Discrete Unit Division from the menu.
    2. To create a discrete unit sub-division, right-click the discrete unit division and select New » Discrete Unit Division from the menu.
  4. Update the name of the discrete unit division node if required.
  5. Click Save.
