Default Primary Location from an Item Warehouse (G06)

Purpose: Use this screen to indicate if a primary location for an item will default for a specified warehouse when performing inventory/receipt transactions.

Yes/No field: If you select this field, a primary location for an item in the warehouse specified for an inventory or receipt transaction will default to the Location field. If more than one primary location has been defined for the item in the specified warehouse, the system will default the first, in alphanumeric order.

Leave unselected if you do not want the system to default the first alphanumeric primary location for an item in the warehouse you specify in an inventory or receipt transaction.

Related system control values: This system control value will override the Default Primary Location (C05) system control value, which specifies that in inventory transactions, the system will default the primary location for an item from the Item/SKU table, if the warehouse specified is the item's primary warehouse (as defined in the Item/SKU table).

This system control value will also override the Default Primary Location - Suspense Placement and PO Receipts (C08) system control value, which specifies that in receipt transactions, the system will default the primary location for an item from the Item/SKU table, if the warehouse specified is the item's primary warehouse (as defined in the Item/SKU table).

PO Receipt In API: See Determining the Receipt Warehouse and Location for more information on how the system determines the receipt warehouse and location when it processes a PO Receipt In XML Message (CWReceiptIn).

Example: You have defined these values for Item X:

Item/SKU table
Item X	Primary warehouse: 100 Primary location: A999999 (Primary primary; the “primary primary” location is stored in the Primary location field in the SKU table.)
Item/Warehouse Table
Item X	Warehouse: 100 Primary location: A111111 Primary location: A999999
You are performing an inventory transaction for Item X in Warehouse 100, and the Default Primary Location (C05) system control value is selected. If the Default Primary Location from an Item Warehouse (G06) system control value is unselected, the system will default location A999999 (Item X's primary primary location from the Item/SKU table). If the Default Primary Location from an Item Warehouse (G06) system control value is selected, the system will default location A111111 (the first alphanumeric item/warehouse location for Item X in Warehouse 100).

Item locations are defined in and validated against the Item Location table. See Creating and Maintaining Item Warehouses.
