Hide Plant/Site

I’ve added a site, but haven’t added it for any users yet.

But the site and its warehouses show in various places, like PO Entry.

And no, this isn’t because i’m a Security Manager. I’ve logged in with a test account

Is there a built-in (i.e. - non BPM or customization) way to disable a site? What do people do when a plant closes?

In user file you can remove these sites from users (I believe)

The site is not enabled for the user I tested with. The site doesn’t show on the main menu. But when I create a PO in another site, I can choose that new site as the destination.

Custom logic on Plant.GetRows\GetList (run trace to determine which is called)?

That will work.

BUT what was Epicors thought for “disabling” a site? While shuttering a plant isn’t something that happens often, it is some thing that definitely happens.

I get that they can’t be deleted because of existing transaction.

Hello Calvin sir,

Did you got any way to hide plant …
Writing on BPM its not good option i guess, better there should be option just to InActive Plant but unfortunately its not there.
If you have better way kindly let me know…

Thank You
Hanky

No, i didn’t find away. But my original post was more out curiousity. We added a new site, but weren’t ready for people to use it yet.

But I have to believe that others have had to close a site, and don’t know what they’ve done.

We have closed a plant many months ago, and we’re still dealing with things like EDI import orders being set to ship from that plant, which is annoying. Definitely would like a “disabled” option on Plant.

For now, I’m going to try removing the plant/site from the user, like suggested in here. Maybe it will work for my purposes (sales orders created by EDI).

Yes i want to revive this “dead ass conversation”.

Did removing the plant/site from users work? We are closing 2 distribution sites in the next few months and i’m looking for ways to deal with a closed site in Epicor.

I’m going to say “yes” since I haven’t thought about this in a long time, probably since I made the change over a year ago.

Odd that there is no Epicor Idea for this… that I see.

There is one for making warehouses inactive: https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KNTC-I-2454

If you are in the mood, vote for this one, too (inactivate PartWhse records): https://epicor-manufacturing.ideas.aha.io/ideas/KNTC-I-1916

But I don’t see one for sites.

Get voting, people!

Oh, I’m in the mood! :wink:
