1. Click Inventory management> Setup> Inventory breakdown> Warehouses.

2. On the Overviewtab, select a warehouse. In the Sitecolumn, select the site to assign the warehouse to. You can also select the site on the Generaltab.

3. On the Generaltab, you can specify a quarantine warehouse for the site. The quarantine warehouse cannot be a warehouse that is already associated with a different site.

4. To view the site and warehouse hierarchy, go to the Hierarchytab. You can see the tree node that represents the selected warehouse and the associated site. The tree node is expanded and displays all of the warehouses that are associated with the site. If there are production units associated with the site, these are also displayed.

   Note
   You can also view the site and warehouse hierarchy on the Sites form.

Once the site and warehouse hierarchy is created, you can change it by:

• Adding new warehouses

• Moving inventory from a warehouse on one site to a warehouse on another site

• Deleting old warehouses

If a warehouse was associated with a site, and transactions were generated for this site/warehouse combination (there is an existing site/warehouse inventory dimension combination), the warehouse cannot be associated with another site.

Likewise, if a warehouse is deleted and then re-created, you cannot assign the new warehouse to a site that is different from that of the deleted warehouse.

The following table illustrates additional rules to observe when you enter site and warehouse field combinations on the Warehousesform. If you attempt to enter a site and warehouse combination that is not allowed, the program displays an error message, and you cannot carry out the action.

When you set up a site and warehouse hierarchy and activate the multisite functionality, the program observes the following rules when you work with journals and order transactions:

• When you select a site from a site lookup form, the warehouse lookup form lists only those warehouses that are associated with the site that you enter. If you attempt to select a warehouse that is not associated with the selected site, the program displays an error message, and you cannot carry out the action.

  Note
  You can set a warehouse that is not associated with the selected site using X++ (instead of using the form). The site field is then updated to match the site that is associated with the new warehouse.

• When you select a warehouse from a warehouse lookup form, the program automatically enters the site that is associated with the particular warehouse in the Sitefield.

• When you enter or select a site that is not associated with the selected warehouse, the program keeps the site that you enter and clears the warehouse field.

• You cannot specify a site on a transfer order line. Also, the site dimension cannot be enabled from the Dimensions displayform that you access from a transfer order.
