A. LU Introduction (LU-SU3104).
It can happen that a project or coordination has an excess of goods that they don’t need (which can be costly in terms of warehousing) or that are going to expire. A solution to this problem can be to donate or to lend the goods to a partner that needs them and can use them before they expire.
To register these movements of goods in the system we have to use FOs because FOs are the documents to use when we need to get goods out of an instance. The specific FOs which can be used here are FOs with type: Donation before expiry, Standard donation and Loan.
These 3 types of FOs can have as customer internal partners, external partners, but also inter-mission and inter-section partners (but not ESC). To enable the inclusion of a partner as customer on an FO, this partner must be flagged as “Customer” on its partner sheet (master data).
