    If you remove security access for site maintenance then the user won't have the option available to them.

    RE: Site ID vs. Default Site ID

    Hi,

    Have you looked at the VBA Developer's Guide at the instructions for using the Before Modal Dialog event? It allows you to control the user's answer to the question. You can use VBA to automatically select the answer of 'No' and never actually display the dialog to the user. If the dialog box isn't displayed, your users cannot answer with a 'Yes'.

    Here's the example in the VBA Developer's Guide:

    In this example, the BeforeModalDialog event procedure programmatically

    answers a dialog for the user. The dialog opens when the user enters a nonexistent

    shipping method. Before the accounting system can display this dialog, the

    procedure automatically “clicks” the Add button, allowing the user to add the new

    shipping method:

       Private Sub Window_BeforeModalDialog(ByVal DlgType As Long, _ PromptString As

       String, Control1String As String, Control2String _

       As String, Control3String As String, Answer As Long)

       If PromptString = "Do you want add this Shipping Method?" Then

       'Click the first button, the Add button

       Answer = dcButton1

       End If

       End Sub

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Hi Leslie,

    I would be interested in how to do this as well.

    Thanks Leslie, I'll give anything a try.  Our users make a mess of our inventory, so it's strange that it's impossible to stop them from assigning sites.  I'll email you directly.

    Hi,

    I think this is a Modal Dialog that's asking you if you want to add that site. You can override the answer by using VBA's Before Modal Dialog event. It's really pretty easy to do and I'll be happy to provide code if it's something you want to do.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    RE: Site ID vs. Default Site ID

    Is there a way to restrict someone from adding an Item# to a Site?  In the SOP screen when a user enters an item that isn't already assigned to that Site, a prompt pops up asking if you'd like to assign it by clicking an Add button in the prompt.  I've removed the permissions to access Sites from these users, but I haven't been able to keep them from adding a Site to an Item incorrectly using this button, and I want to be able to control this.  It's particularly difficult to stop from happening since the Default Site ID in the header is applied automatically to every line item, and users like to just quickly hit the Add button when the prompt appears rather then doing the research to find the correct Site ID that has been assigned to each Item#.  Any help is appreciated.

    You set Site IDs up in the Site Maintenance window and then assign items to the Sites using the Assign button at the bottom of that same window.

     

    1. You set up a site and an item.

    2. Before you can buy or sell that item from that site you need to assign the site to that item.

    3. You can do that from the Item Site Assignments window, or from the Item Quantities window. In GP 2013 you can now assign an item to all sites. Prior to 2013, you could only assign the site to the item.

    4. On the Item Quantities Maintenance window, bring up the item with the ALL radio button selected:

    5. Item-Quantities-Maintence-site-specific.png

    6. On that window, you can select a Default Site ID to accomplish what Frank Hammely spoke of.

    7. If you select the Site ID radio button, you’ll be able to assign a default vendor to that particular site.

    8. PO-Generator-Item-Maintenance.png

    9. The default vendor can be used by the PO Generator as well as being the vendor that is selected when you create a PO from a SOP document.

    10. site-item-assignments.png

    11. In GP 2013, use the Site Item Assignments window to assign an item to one or more sites.

    12. I think that's it; hopefully it's correct.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    It's already mentioned in Frank's answer, go to Site Maintenance (Cards > Inventory > Site)

    How do I set up a site to choose when I get to the Default Site ID?
