Multiple Company set up to order from one Item Master

We have taken over the day to day operations of a smaller rural hospital and they will be ordering through us. In Lawson we are company X and they will be Company Y.

The storeroom in Company Y will be an asset. Is there an easy way to point it to our item master items in Company X IC11 and IC12 for ordering? They will use the same items as us and will mostly be filling from our IC12 DIST location since they are about the size of our Surgery Area.
I have set their RQ01 locations to replenish from RQ04, but was not sure about how to set up the IC02 or what is the best process....
Thanks in advance!

Use the same Item Group for Company Y in the IC01 setup as you do for Company X and use location replenishment in IC12.2 for the inventory items in Company Y.

Thanks Jon! Just to clarify, I will need to build an IC12 record for the items in the new company also? Is there an easy way to copy IC12's from one company into another and them use an upload to fix the IC12.2 records?

You can use the MS Addins Query to extract the IC12.1 and 12.2 fields from the existing company, and MS Addins upload to load the IC12.1 and 12.2 fields for the new company.

You mentioned that the storeroom in Company Y will be an asset. The only way to do this is to build a location (IC02) under Company Y and then build an IC12 record for each item in that inventory location. And if you're going to replenish this inventory location from another inventory location you set the replenishment for those items from Company X, location DIST.

Jon is correct. You will also need to set the ReOrder Document Code on IC12 to R, T, or X if you are going to replenish from one warehouse to another. Be sure to understand the processes involved in this and how it can affect your SOH, Allocations, and Cycle Counts. You may need to adjust your IC01.1 Available tab if you want the warehouse to account for intransit inventory.
