Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Site ID and Default Site ID in the Item Quantities Maintenance Window as well as how to set up both
*This post is locked for comments
Katie, the Default Site ID is the warehouse that you want transactions for that specific Item to use by Default. The Default can be overridden in transaction processing.
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.
The main purpose of the Item Quantities window is to assign item to a specific site, it can be use to assign one item to one site. To do so, you will use the (Site ID) field. In order to assign an item to a site, follow the following steps:
As for the default site id field, it is used to simplify your transactions on the system by setting a default site id for item-related transactions. It is an optional field and you can leave it empty.
One more point to consider, the Item-Quantities Maintenance window is used for one-to-one assignment. There are other windows to assign either one site to several items, or one item to several sites.
Your feedback is highly appreciated,
How do I set up a site to choose when I get to the Default Site ID?
It's already mentioned in Frank's answer, go to Site Maintenance (Cards > Inventory > Site)
You set up a site and an item.
Before you can buy or sell that item from that site you need to assign the site to that item.
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.
On the Item Quantities Maintenance window, bring up the item with the ALL radio button selected:
On that window, you can select a Default Site ID to accomplish what Frank Hammely spoke of.
If you select the Site ID radio button, you’ll be able to assign a default vendor to that particular site.
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.
In GP 2013, use the Site Item Assignments window to assign an item to one or more sites.
Kind regards,
Leslie
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.
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.
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.
That's good for me,
My email is leslievail@earthlink.net

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