A plant is a manufacturing location attached to a company. Organization Managers can create plants for companies, subsidiaries, or business units. Plants are used to associate manufacturing responsibility for parts.
Administrators
can set up the non-production days for each plant. This information is
used to validate the start date of manufacturing change orders (MCOs).
It also can be used to calculate the MCO start date offset and end date
offset, depending on the setup (see the X-BOM Manufacturing User's Guide for details). The values for non-production
days can be set from the Edit Plant Details page by providing a list
of comma separated date values in mm/dd/yyyy format.
When creating
a route template or member list, you can select a plant as the owning
organization to determine the access for manufacturing responsibility
for approval and distribution lists.
