Two Primary Locations for One Item

Some how we have an item with 2 primary locations.
When an item is created, the primary location is created as " " (blank). This item also has a named location that is identified as Primary. Our transactions all use the secondary location.

How can one of the Primary locations be removed for this item?

I experienced this problem with a past company and discovered that a new staffer who was creating Item Master/Item Branch records was not entering (or blanking out the default) Location on the last screen prompt which establishes the Primary location for that item. To remove the blank location and/or duplicate Primary location, first insure that there is no inventory in the erroneous location (if there is perform an Inventory Transfer to the correct location) and then go into P4100 Location Master and delete the location. Then instruct your staffers who are responsible for creating PDM records to not allow the Primary to blank.

Also please note that I also saw blank locations periodically being created in conjunction with bar coded PO Receipt transactions when the Buyer inadvertently blanked out the location field on the purchase order detail line and/or stockroom staffers blanking out the location in Receipt Routing when performing Movement and Disposition transactions.
