Define Project Site

Explanation

This activity is used to define a site for a project. A project can be developed or handled by several sites. The sites are registered in the Project/Site window. All sites must belong to the company connected to the project. Once a site is registered for the project and the project is approved, it will not be possible for you to remove the site from the Project/Site tab.

Note: To be able to release purchase orders, view inventory parts, etc., the user must also be connected to the site (Sites per User window).

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, the site must be connected to the project's company in the Site window.

System Effects

• Demand for miscellaneous parts belonging to the project site(s) can be registered.
