IC16.1 - Mass Copy by Location

Use this form to set up mass copy and update requests using these forms: Mass
Copy By Location (IC16.1), Mass Copy By Item (IC16.2), Mass Change (IC16.3),
and Change by Item or Vendor. Mass copy and update requests are set up by
company, request number, and effective date. Requests are processed by the
same criteria in IC116 (Item Mass Update). Only requests with an effective
date less than or equal to the date specified in IC116 (Item Mass Update) are
processed.

Important: Before you set up mass copy requests in IC16.1 (Mass Copy by
Location) or IC16.2 (Mass Copy by Item), the locations involved in the copy
process must share the same general ledger category(s). Otherwise, item
records will not be copied. General ledger categories are set up by location
in IC04.1 (General Ledger Category).

Use IC16.1 (Mass Copy by Location) to mass copy items from an existing
location (location A) to a new location (location B). This form also allows
you to change values for the following fields at location B: Buyer Code,
Automatic Purchasing, Allow Issues, Preferred Bin, Replenishment Location, and
Replenishment Bin. If any of these fields are left blank, values defined for
location A are copied to location B.

IC16.2 - Mass Copy by Item

Use this form to mass copy a new item to every location that stocks items for
the same product line. Before you use this form, set up the new item in IC12.1
(Item Location) or IC10.2 (Item Master and Location). Then, using this form,
enter the location where the item is set up as Location A, the new item as
Item A and an existing item from the same product line as Item B. This form
uses Item B to find and copy the new item to other locations that stock items
for the same product line.

This form also lets you indicate from which item record (A or B) to retrieve
values for the following fields: Primary Vendor, Buyer, Forecast Number,
Average Leadtime, Leadtime-Control, Automatic Purchasing, Movement Class, and
Preferred Bin. For example, if you assign a different buyer to each location,
enter the value B to update each item location record with the same buyer
assigned to Item B at each location.

Mass copy requests are set up by company, request number, and effective date.
Requests are actually processed by the same criteria in IC116 (Item Mass
Update). Only requests with an effective date less than or equal to the date
specified in IC116 are processed.

Important: Before you can set up mass copy requests in IC16.2, the locations
involved in the mass copy must share the same general ledger category(s).
Otherwise, item records will not be copied. General ledger categories are set
up by location in IC04.1 (General Ledger Category).
