Sites represent Plants, Warehouses, Distribution Centers, or any other object that manages inventory balances. They are used in Inventory to record the location and balances of products. The purpose of this page is to add, edit, remove, and activate/inactive these records.

This list view also contains columns for each 'Lot Certification' with a certification 'Type' of "Item & Site" or Site Only". Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved layout.

Toolbar Icons	Description
Delete	Deletes the selected record(s). When clicked, users will be prompted with: "Are you sure you want to delete the selected records?". Click "OK" to confirm, or "Cancel" to return without deleting. _{WARNING: Records cannot be recovered once they are deleted!}
Edit	Opens the selected record for editing. If a record is not selected, the page will not open.
Excel	Clicking the Excel toolbar icon exports the current contents of the grid to an Excel file that is automatically downloaded. The contents that export are only those currently visible. If the grid is filtered, only the filtered contents will be exported.
Favorites	Clicking on the star icon when it is an outline, adds the page to the 'My Shortcuts' tab and fills in the star. Clicking on the star icon when it is filled in (solid color), removes the page from the 'My Shortcuts' tab and returns the icon to an outline. Users must log out and back in before the pages will be visible in the 'My Shortcuts' tab.
Grid Layout	Opens the Saved Grid Layout menu that allows the user to select another saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to a grid, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Saved Grid Layout icon and save the changes to the grid layout and name the new layout. The new layout can also be set as the default, instead of the System View. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific). The bolded view is the default view, which will determine the view will automatically display in when opened.
Help	Opens the online WIKI help page for the current page. This icon is only visible on pages that are documented in the online help.
New	Opens a new blank record for data entry.
Fields	Description
Checkbox	Used to select one or more records for delete or mass update.
Auto Generate Warehouse Lots By	Identifies how Warehouse Lot Numbers are auto-generated for applicable transfer line items. This is not visible for new Sites and is only required and editable for Sites where the following conditions are both true: The 'Warehouse Lot Tracked' property is set to either: "Yes - Allow multiple items in single lots" or "Yes - Limit Warehouse Lots to single items" The 'Auto Generate Warehouse Lots on Transfer Receipts' property is set to Yes If these conditions are true and the value is missing, the message "[SiteID] has the "Auto Generate Warehouse Lots on Transfer Receipts" option turned on but is missing a selection for "Auto Generate Warehouse Lots by"" will be displayed on Save. When this feature is enabled for the 'To Site' (the receiving Site) on an inventory Transfer transaction, the system will automatically populate the warehouse lot values in the 'To Warehouse Lot' , on Save. The values will be populated as either: INTR:[SiteID]:[Reference Number] - for example INTR:BCS:12345 [Item ID]-[Production Batch Date MM][Production Batch Date YY] - for example 10015-0519 [Production Batch Date MM][Production Batch Date YY]-[Item ID] - for example 0519-10015 Linked Database Field: ERPx_MFSite.WarehouseLotTemplate This lookup contains all the values in the WarehouseLotTemplateEN Enumeration Class.
Auto Generate Warehouse Lots on Transfer Receipts	Identifies whether or not the Warehouse Lot Numbers are auto-generated for applicable transfer line items. This is only visible for Sites where the 'Warehouse Lot Tracked' property is set to either: "Yes - Allow multiple items in single lots" or "Yes - Limit Warehouse Lots to single items". This value is required if the Site is warehouse lot tracked and there is a value in the "Auto Generate Warehouse Lots By" property. If these conditions are true and the value is missing, the message "Unable to set "Auto Generate Warehouse Lots By" if "Auto Generate Warehouse Lots on Transfer Receipts" is not enabled on Save. When this feature is enabled for the 'To Site' (the receiving Site) on an inventory Transfer transaction, the system will automatically populate the warehouse lot values in the 'To Warehouse Lot' , on Save. The values will be populated as either: INTR:[SiteID]:[Reference Number] - for example INTR:BCS:12345 [Item ID]-[Production Batch Date MM][Production Batch Date YY] - for example 10015-0519 [Production Batch Date MM][Production Batch Date YY]-[Item ID] - for example 0519-10015 Linked Database Field: ERPx_MFSite.AssignWarehouseLotsOnTransferReceipts This lookup contains options for either "Yes" or "No".
City	The 'City' that is setup on the Address Tab. This is part of the address for the Site. It is not required, is always editable from the Record View, and must be <= 35 characters. Linked Database Field: ERPx_MFSite.City

Default Via Site for Integrated Transfers	Identifies the "In Transit Site" that will be auto assigned to imported Transfer transactions where the current site is listed as the 'To Site' (the receiving Site). As a result, a one part transfer transaction will import as a two part transfer. This is typically assigned when: The source system that is exporting the data to NorthScope does not have functionality to support two-part transfers Companies want to ensure the correct In Transit Site is used when there may be more than one to choose from. It is not required and always editable but is only visible, and applicable for non In-Transit Sites (Sites with the 'In Transit' property set to "No"). Two-part Transfers provide a way to deduct on-hand inventory from the 'From Site' (the sending site) before receiving it into the 'To Site' (the receiving Site). This is useful when transfers cannot be physically shipped and received at the same time, or when companies need to manage variances between what was actually shipped and actually received. This is accomplished by creating two separate, but linked, transfer transactions: 1) a one-part transfer that, when posted, moves on-hand balances from the 'From Site' (the sending site) to the 'Ship Via' (the in-transit site) and then creates a linked, un-posted transfer receipt transaction to move on-hand balances from the 'Ship Via' (the in-transit site) to the 'To Site' (the receiving Site). This allows the sending Site to deduct what they actually sent, the receiving Site to receive what they actually received, and any discrepancies to be reflected in the in transit Site.

Using a 'Production Batch Prefix' ensures Production Batch #'s remain unique across multiple production facilities. This does not impact manual data entry.

Yes - Limit Warehouse Lots to single items: The Site requires Warehouse Lots on all Inventory tracked product but prevents Warehouse Lot Numbers from being applied to more than one Item ID without additional user intervention. Users can override this on a case by case basis by opening the Warehouse Lot master file and adding the new Item(s) to the Lot This defaults to No for new records but can be edited at any time. You should not change from either of the Yes options to No if there are open lot balances for the site.
