1938028 - Site ID is Different From the Source Business Residence ID

An Org Unit XYZ was activated with Business Residence attribute, resulting in the creation of a Site named XYZ_1 instead of XYZ. Additionally, a Site with ID XYZ already exists, but cannot be used in logistics related documents due to below error messages.

• Product Recipient Party is missing
• Ship-to site not valid
• No valid planning data exists for product ABC in site XYZ

According to the help portal Org Unit IDs and Names- Business Residences, the business residence activation automatically creates a site with the same ID as the Org Unit and links it to the business residence. The business residence represents the legal aspects of the location, while the site represents the geographical and logistical aspects. The site can be used in the supply chain and logistics area to define further logistical entities such as warehouses, service points, and storage locations.

However, there are two possibilities for the Site ID to vary from the Org Unit ID.

• The first possibility is that if there is a site/location already existing with the same ID as Business Residence/Org Unit, then "_1" will be added to the new ID.
• The second scenario could occur if the Business Residence (XYZ) and Site (XYZ) were created, then the Business Residence was deleted and later reactivated. In this case, the site ID will be XYZ_1 and the original site XYZ cannot be used.

This is expected system behavior.

• For the first scenario, you can use either XYZ or XYZ_1 based on the purpose of creating these sites.
• For the second scenario, you can use XYZ_1 for further usage of the site and business residence.
