Actually, Andrew, that does not work. This funtion is already turned on and will only allow the item in all locations once we go to use it, via a purchase order.
I want to make sure it is there before it is needed, otherwise if entering a very large PO with all new product code numbers, you get the "product is not available at this location..." message. I would like to avoid this message for the forty items I need to add to my PO. When we merged our data, I know there was a function I performed which made all product codes available at all locations. Is this a one time thing, or could I employ this function each time I add a group of new product codes.
If this seems like laziness, it is not. What happened here is this: We put in a whole new group of product codes. Then we placed two very large purchase orders. The first purchase order was received today, and it received all items into Location 1, even though Location 3 was put onto the header. In the past, if we put Location 3 on the header, all items being order naturally defaulted to Location 3. However in this instance, they all defaulted to Location 1, which was not noticed on the PO. We had to do a return.
So for the next PO, which is not yet received, we will have to choose each and every item, pull it up on screen, and deal with that message. It would be much more efficient to sweep all new product codes into each location. Can this be done? As mentioned, I did this when we did the data merge, but it does not seem to be working the same now, which makes me wonder if it is a one time function when a new location is added. Thank you.
