Hi Govind,

I would suggest check your reference article.

First of all, you need to find the reference article. For this, goto transaction WG24 and provide your merchandise category. When you navigate to MC details, you will see a reference article number.

Open this reference article in MM42. Navigate to Logistic DC and Logistic Store view without giving any distribution chain and stores. Make desired changes in the reference data in these views and save your reference article.

Also an important step to check is the reference DC and reference store. Goto transaction WSS1 and check your reference DC and reference store. So whatever reference data you maintain for logistic views, they are maintained for these sites.

Apart from this, you need to check the configuration of distribution chain control if you want to maintain the reference sites per distribution chain. But I would suggest to use a global reference sites maintained in WSS1.

So above steps will help you to understand the settings for reference sites and then in MM42, you can perform the desired changes in reference article.

Let me know if you need any further information.

Regards,

Amit

Hi Govind,

Ideally speaking if there is no reference article, no data will be copied from reference article and even logistic data will not be created.

There are two types of reference article maintained on MC. One is the value-only article maintained on MC which is used to book the sales of value-only articles for which there is no inventory management. The other reference article is used as a template to copy data into new article. So make sure you do have this article assigned in merchandise category. See the highlighted portion in below image.

I hope this will help.

Amit
