Adding a Multi-Site (Global) Item

Note: In this description, "shared sites" means the Centralized Order Entry category or the Inventory/Transfers category are being replicated between the sites.

When an item is added in one site, it does not automatically populate in other shared sites. To add the existing item into another shared site:

  1. On the Items form, select Actions > New.
  2. Specify the item number or select it from the drop-down list. (The item number already exists at the other site and was replicated to this shared site).
  3. The system populates the default values for item, description, and U/M from the Global Items form.
  4. Add the rest of the information manually at the shared site.

The Global Items form also contains a default shipping site, which is used to determine how the order line ship site defaults when entering a centralized order for the item.

Typically shared sites have identical global items default values when all sites are within the same country. If sites are in different countries, the Description and U/M fields can be updated as required.
