What This Process Does

  • Types of Sites – Order and Receive:
    • Order Sites (Source ID) order the purchase order merchandise.
    • Receive Sites (Ship To ID) receive the purchase order merchandise.
    • Both types of sites are added through the Purchase Order Setup Submenu → Purchase Order Sites. If you are not using Source ID, you will only be setting up Receive Sites


  • If the Site ID has an address, the address will be displayed on the PO for the SHIP TO Address.


  • If the Site ID address is blank, the phrase Same as Remit To displays on the PO for the Ship To Address. (This refers to the REMIT BILL TO information at the top of the PO)


  • If some, or all, of the PO Sites should be the same as the Locations that exist in Position Tracking, select Copy Position Locations to Sites (from Purchase Orders → Setup). Then access the Site ID to update information that was copied, as needed.
