Duplicate Item Attributes from Multiple Locations
When you use the Advanced Item Location Configuration feature, you are able to copy the item attributes that exist in multiple locations for a single item to multiple locations for other items. One or more attributes can be copied from the source locations to the target items and the selected locations.
To duplicate item attributes from multiple locations:
-
Open the item record that contains the attributes you want to copy.
-
On the Locations subtab, click the Duplicate Multiple Locations button next to the location you want to copy.
The Duplicate Multiple Locations window opens. It enables you to duplicate multiple attributes and locations on a source item to target items.
-
Under the Source heading, the source item is displayed. This item is the source from which location attributes are derived.
-
Under the Source heading, choose one or more source locations in the Location field.
Check the Select All Locations box to select all available locations.
Click the Select Multiple icon to open the Choose Location window add multiple source locations. Click the Done button after making your selections.
The attributes associated with this item in the selected locations are displayed at the bottom of the window.
-
Under the Target heading, make selections to determine which items that attributes will be copied to.
-
Click the Item field.
-
Enter or select one or more items to determine which items the attributes are copied to.
-
Click the Select Multiple icon to open the Choose Item window and select more than one item.
Note:If the source item is a different item type than the target item, data in extraneous fields is copied over but does not affect calculations. For example, if the source item processed is a time-phased planning item but the target item is not a time-phased planning item, fields relevant to time-phased planning will be populated on the target item but the data is not used for calculations.
-
Click Done after selecting items.

After all source locations and target items are selected, click Submit.
When the form is submitted, a bulk process to update the item attribute records begins. After the process is complete, a confirmation page displays the processed item location configurations.
