Connect Default Locations to Site

Explanation

Use this activity to connect default receipt locations against a site. It facilitates the receipt of goods, but it is optional to use this feature. Default locations for a site is useful when an inventory part has no default locations specified. A default location can be amended at receipt.

The following location types can be connected as default locations to a site: Arrival, Quality Assurance, Pallet Arrival, and Pallet Quality.

When you perform an action, such as an arrival registration or a movement, the system suggests an adequate location dependent on the performed step in the receive case flow. However, if a default location with the location type arrival, pallet arrival, quality assurance, or pallet quality is connected to the inventory part as well, the system suggests this location instead.

Note: The default receipt locations specified in the inventory part record will take precedence over the default locations entered here.

Prerequisites

• The location that will be connected to the site must have been entered in the Inventory Locations window.
• The site, to which you should connect a default location, must have been connected to your user ID in the Sites per User window.

System Effects
