It seems that when entering an assembly, the location defaults to the first one on the location list.

Is there a way to tell it to default to a different location?

Hi, Steve,

The location you set on the assembly header becomes the default for all of its details; although, you can change it for a detail if you want.

In other words the answer is no. Please reread my question if you think not.

There should be a place in Company Profile to set that like there is in Payables to default the bank.

Hi, Steve,

I'm happy to enter your suggestion that we add a Company Profile default setting for this.

Hi Steve,
We have a Link2Kitting solution that does what you are asking for, and more.

We allow you to change the the location of the items being assembled. You can have different costs allocations that direct the costs to different departments with multiple cost breakout GL allocations. We even allow you the prorate the the consumed items proportionately to what the yield is on the output. You can have a BOM defined that Generates 100 gallons of finished product that usually yields on a practical perspective 90 to 115 gallons, and we prorate the consumption of the components proportionately to the amount yielded in the production.

Best,
Brian
