[OAUGNet]-Modeling Inventory organizations

[<anush.nambi@accenture.com>]

Hi all,

There is a requirement for a client who deals with manufacturing and
maintaining of assets, they have multiple asset installations in
different locations in a particular geography. They do receive some
materials for these assets time-to-time as part of routine maintenance
and wish to track these details in GL. Currently we propose to have
these assets mapped to inventory orgs and have them as balancing
segments.

Typically PO would be raised and receipt in these inventory orgs but
this setup involves creation of around 60 odd inventory orgs. Standard
costing would be followed in all these orgs and costs would/wouldn't
differ much for the items. 

Pros of this approach are COGS, receiving accounts etc can be taken from
each of the inventory orgs apart from modeling in-transit lead times
between these locations. Cons include maintenance of these orgs like
period closures, costing etc.

Other way to proceed is to have sub-inventories with locations mapped
but need to add in details of these accounts through DFF and hence call
for customizations.

I would like to know if there is any better way of handling this and any
other pros and cons I missed out of the above two approaches.

Thanks, 
Anush N
