Use this activity to enter a new site and to define site-specific information, such as the site's company and the manufacturing and distribution calendars. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or an equivalent person.
A site can only be connected to one company. Other site-specific parameters must also be checked before using the site.
When handling multi-site ordering, you need to have at least two sites. Obviously, many different sites might be used. For example, there might be a central order entry site passing demands to multiple manufacturing/supply sites.
Submenu page Maintenace can be used to enter the maintenance details for the site, such as the message receiver and whether or not to print the condition codes on reports. In this tab you can also connect valid progress templates to a site and define whether the scheduling information of jobs and work lists of each PM line and the dates in the maintenance plan line will be copied to relevant fields when generating a work order.
