JBA ML - Multi Location Purchasing

["Prill, Steve" <sprill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking for some guidance for implementing System 21 purchasing for a
second location.  Currently only our manufacturing facility does purchasing
through System 21 for both manufactured and non-manufactured parts for their
facility only.

I have been asked to look at the feasibility of implementing System 21
purchasing for our headquarters which is another location.  The P.O.'s
created from headquarters would only be for non-manufactured (MRO) items.

When I look at the purchasing control file it has our manufacturing
facilities address and phone number, along with a dummy supplier in the
"receiving address supplier" that again points back the our manufacturing
facility.  The output queues also all point to printers in manufacturing.

How would I set up another location?  Should I consider another company?
How has your company handled this?
How will the buyers authorities be controlled once we have two locations?

Thanks for you input.
