Assign Primary Location

Purpose: Use the Assign Primary Location option to create a primary primary location for an item, including the minimum and maximum quantities for the location. This transaction is similar to using the Creating Item Warehouse/Locations (MIWL) menu option.

Note: If the item already exists in the location you specify at this screen, the system updates the minimum and maximum quantity fields for the item/location record; however, no message will display telling you that the item/location record already exists.

Secured feature: The Allow Access to RF Maintenance (A55) secured feature controls access to this option.
