Multi-Site Items

At the master site for an intranet, use this form to maintain a list of all items bought, manufactured, and/or sold in multiple sites. You can view and maintain records only for sites in the same intranet as this master site. This form contains such values as description, unit of measure, and lead times for an item. Finished goods, sub-assemblies, raw materials, tooling, fixtures, and even outside services should have Item records.

When you create a new inventory item, a default warehouse and default item stockroom location are created.

An item record cannot be deleted from this form.

In order to maintain items on other sites through this form, the following must be true:

  • You must be logged into the master site for the intranet containing the sites where you are adding or maintaining items.
  • The Multi-Site Items and Site Admin replication categories are replicating between the sites on this intranet.

The item number is referenced throughout the system to identify the items being ordered, counted, planned, shipped, received, referenced, etc.

The Actions menu includes a Multi-Site Copy option that displays a modal Multi-Site Selection form. Use this option to copy a selected item to multiple sites in the same intranet as the master site. .
