Configuring Manufacturing Plants

Each MBOM is defined with reference to a specific manufacturing plant that implements the MBOM for manufacturing the specified assembly.

  1. Log into the app using the role of an Organization Manager.
  2. From the Compass, click Social and Collaborative Apps , and select the Manufacturing BOM app.
  3. Select Home in the main toolbar.
  4. Click the View My Company category.
  5. Click the Plants category.
    This displays the plants for the selected company.
  6. Click any plant name. The plant Properties page is displayed.

  7. Click the Edit icon in the main toolbar.
  8. Enter or modify plant properties as needed. Name, City, and Plant Time Zone are required. Enter the non-production days, if any. See Configuring Non-Production Days.

    If you change the plant's name, a trigger copies the new name as the Plant ID by default (This feature is configurable. The trigger can be deactivated if you do not want the Plant ID to reflect the name of the plant object.).

    Any change in the Plant ID of a manufacturing site does not automatically update the Plant ID information in all existing MBOMs.

  9. Click the name link for the plant you just created.
    The plant's Properties page opens.
  10. Click the Lifecycle category.
  11. Click either Active or the Promote icon to promote the plant to the Active state.
