  1.
  Add new rotating asset ABC1 to site BEDFORD. Specify rotating
  itemnum MOT10 for this new asset.
  Add new rotating asset ABC1 to site DENVER. Specify rotating
  itemnum MOT10 for this new asset.
  
  2.
  Add new operating location LOCYY to site BEDFORD. Give the new
  location an itemnum of MOT10.
  Add new operating location LOCYY to site DENVER. Give the new
  location an itemnum of MOT10.
  
  3. Create a new Master PM for item MOT10. Make sure that both
  "Create Associated PMs for Item's Location?" and "Create
  Associated PMs for Item's Asset?" are checked.
  
  4. Create an associated PM for BEDFORD asset ABC1 and BEDFORD
  location LOCYY.
  
  5. Return to the 'Create Associated PMs' dialog and notice that
  DENVER asset ABC1 and DENVER location LOCYY are missing. You
  have not yet created an associated PM for these, so both should
  still be in the dialog. Only assets and locations for which
  associated PMs have already been created should be absent from
  the dialog.
  

Problem conclusion

• Locations or assets existing in multiple sites no longer
  disappear from the 'Create Associated PMs' dialog after creating
  an associated PM for one of the locations or assets. Only assets
  and locations for which associated PMs have already been created
  should be absent from the dialog.
