Example: Site Groups

The following example shows how Site Groups can be used.

              ENTITY 3

   ENTITY 1            ENTITY 2

 Site A  Site B  Site C Site X Site Y Site Z

A product manager is in charge of finished goods that are only manufactured at sites A and Y. All other sites produce sub-components. You can create a site group such as "AY", consisting of only sites A and Y.

This site group "AY" can then be selected as the default site group for the product manager on the Users form. Then, when the product manager opens the Item Availability form, the system automatically defaults the Site Group field to "AY". In effect, this customizes the product manager's view of the available items.

Default site groups may also be set for other areas of the system.
