SA Administrator Cross Company Product Copy Report overview
Function acronym: SAACP
Use this report to copy product information from the source company to one or more destination companies. A multi-company environment often requires similar system data for each company.
Run the SA Administrator Cross Company Copy Report after these reports:
- SA Administrator Cross Company System Copy Report
- SA Administrator Cross Company Customer Copy Report
- SA Administrator Cross Company Vendor Copy Report
The SA Cross Company Product Copy Report copies information from these functions in the source company to create new product records in the destination company:
- Product Setup
- Product Lines Setup
- Product Warehouse Product Setup
- Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup
- Product Extended Unit Conversion Setup
- KP Component Setup
- KP Group Setup
- KP Option Setup
- KP Substitute Component Setup
Depending on the options you select on the SA Cross Company Product Copy Report, you can create product records for these types of products:
- Inactive products
- Superseded products
- Warehouse product records
- Cross-references
- Kits, including kit groups, options, and substitutes
Additionally, unit conversion and product line information is duplicated unless you indicate otherwise. Product Warehouse Product Setup records are created for each warehouse in the destination company for each Product Setup record copied.
This tables shows the Product Warehouse Product Setup values that are validated when you run the report. If any of the values from the record in the source company are missing, an exception occurs and the record is not created in the destination company.
| Setup function | Value validated |
|---|---|
| Product Warehouse Product Setup-General | Price Type, ARP Vendor, Product Line , and Family Group |
| Product Warehouse Product Setup-Ordering | Frozen Type, Override (In/Out), Buying Unit, and Standard Pack |
| Product Warehouse Product Setup-Taxing | Nontax Type |
Because Product Line Setup records are copied to specific vendor and warehouse combinations, errors occur for Product Line Setup records that do not exist in warehouses that are new or for lines that do not exist in the source company. If you use central purchasing, the Product Line Setup record without a specified warehouse will not create an error.
If these conditions exist in the destination company, an exception occurs and the Products Setup record will not be copied:
- Product record already exists
- These records or values do not exist:
- Stocking unit
- LIFO category
- Selling unit
- Counting unit
- Warehouse
- Vendor
These results may occur when you perform a product copy:
- If a product in the source company has an authorized replenishment path (ARP) type of warehouse, the ARP Warehouse field in the destination company record is blank.
- CR Bank Setup records are not copied, but the bank number is validated.
- Product Warehouse Description Setup is not copied but may be validated for an ARP.
- Product Extended Product Cross Reference Setup information is copied regardless of the SA Administrator Options- Products-Alternates/UPC settings in the destination company. You may have to maintain the cross-reference information to make corrections pertaining to products that did not successfully copy.
- Because all components for kit products are validated, you may have to run the report twice to copy kits properly. Kit components are copied after all the relevant products are copied. The component is validated in the destination company.
