A. Definitions (reminders)
A.a Network
Planning concerns items, that is, physical goods which will be stored and transported.
The network itself consists of geographical sites. A site is a location where items can be stored. A distinction is made between stocks of the same item on different sites.
The smallest inventory management unit is therefore the item x Site pair. This pair is referred to as SKU(Stock Keeping Unit). Accordingly, an item that can be stored on 6 sites will have 6 different SKUs.
Distribution involves transporting items from one site to another.
A site liable to send items to another site is a shipping site.
A site liable to receive items coming from another site is a receiving site.
A.b SKU dimension
A master table named SKU representing valid Item x Site combinations.
