Sites (UG)

Overview

NorthScope allows users to create sites that can be used across modules that can serve as the location for lots, loads, and transactions. The modules these sites are visible to can be managed from the Site record view. In addition, the user can use the record view to determine site properties, the site's address, and any lines and shifts at the site. Sites integrate with the Host system if the integration setup for site is set to immediate or timed. The integration setup can be located in the Integration Setup page in the Company module of NorthScope. 

Optional Prerequisites

  • Certification setup
  • Site integration setup
  • Vendor setup

Step 1: Adding a New Site in NorthScope

In NorthScope, expand the Sales Order module and click Sites. This will open the Sites list view. From the Sites list view, click New.

This will open a new Site record view for data entry. 

Step 2: Assigning the Site Properties

Until the base properties have been assigned, the new Site record cannot be added. Enter the following site properties.

Click here to view the Sites Properties tab help page and view what each property is responsible for. 

  • Auto fill Whse Lot on 2-part Transfer Receipts
  • Inactive
  • In Transit
  • Registration
  • Site ID
  • Site Name
  • Visible to Logistics
  • Visible to Sales
  • Visible to WMS
  • Warehouse Lot Tracked

Once the base properties are entered, click the “Save” icon on the header toolbar. If the save was successful, the site record will be saved and the rest of the properties and tabs will be visible and ready for edit.

The additional properties that will display are as follows:

  • Next Production Batch #
  • Production Batch Prefix
  • Vendor

In addition, the Address, Lines, Shifts, and Certifications tabs will display.

Note: If the 'Warehouse Lot Tracked' property is changed from 'No' to 'Yes - Allow multiple items in single lots' or 'Yes - Limit Warehouse Lots to single items' and the site has been used on transactions, a new default Warehouse lot 'SITEID-Default' is created and assigned to all existing transactions and lot balances. A message 'The Warehouse Lot ID on all existing transactions for this Site has been updated to SITEID-Default' is displayed for the user on save to inform the user.

Step 3: Assigning a Site Address (Optional)

Step 5: Assigning Site Lines (Optional)

A site shift is the equivalent of a shift during which workers would work at the site and therefore produce items, such as an AM or PM shift. These are specifically useful on  Production Batches where the production line and production shift will default once the site is selected and saved on the production batch.
