Maintaining Multi-Site Items from a Master Site

Use the Multi-Site Items form to maintain items for multiple sites on an intranet from the master site of the intranet. Keep in mind that each site can still control its local item records.

Adding Items

To add item for any site on the master site's intranet, follow the steps in Creating a New Item.

Copying Items to Other Sites

To copy an item to multiple sites in the same intranet, follow the steps in Copying Items to Other Sites.

Information Filtered by Site

You specify the site when you add an item. The following fields are filtered by the selected site. For example, when you add an item and specify Site B, you can only select product codes that are valid at Site B.

Alternate Item
U/M
Product Code
Unit Weight U/M
Family Code
Production Type
Warehouse
Setup Group
Reason
Backflush Location
Preferred Co-product Mix
Commodity
Origin

The Buyer field is filtered by the master site. That is, the information in the drop-down list is from the master site, not the site you specified.

Maintenance Tasks Not Available from this Form

For most tasks, you can use the Multi-Site Items form in place of the Items form. However, these tasks can be performed only in the Items form at the specific site:

Delete an item
Add notes to the record
Specify tax information
Define item categories, attributes, and related items
Provide a picture of the item
Display the BOM view
Define scheduler batches for the item, and set a few other APS-related options
Use Actions menu "List" options
