Maintaining Multi-Site Items from a Master Site
Use the Multi-Site Items form to maintain items for multiple sites on an intranet from the master site of the intranet. Keep in mind that each site can still control its local item records.
Adding Items
To add item for any site on the master site's intranet, follow the steps in Creating a New Item.
Copying Items to Other Sites
To copy an item to multiple sites in the same intranet, follow the steps in Copying Items to Other Sites.
Information Filtered by Site
You specify the site when you add an item. The following fields are filtered by the selected site. For example, when you add an item and specify Site B, you can only select product codes that are valid at Site B.
- Alternate Item
- U/M
- Product Code
- Unit Weight U/M
- Family Code
- Production Type
- Warehouse
- Setup Group
- Reason
- Backflush Location
- Preferred Co-product Mix
- Commodity
- Origin
The Buyer field is filtered by the master site. That is, the information in the drop-down list is from the master site, not the site you specified.

For most tasks, you can use the Multi-Site Items form in place of the Items form. However, these tasks can be performed only in the Items form at the specific site:

- Specify tax information
- Define item categories, attributes, and related items
- Provide a picture of the item
- Display the BOM view
- Define scheduler batches for the item, and set a few other APS-related options
