Site A business location of an enterprise that can maintain its own
logistical data. It includes a collection of warehouses, departments and
assembly lines at the same location. Sites are used to model the supply chain
in a multisite environment. These restrictions apply to sites: - A site cannot cross countries. The warehouses and
departments of the site must be in the same country as the site.
- A site is linked to one planning cluster. Consequently, all
warehouses and work centers of a site must belong to the same planning
cluster.
- A site is linked to one logistic company.
You can link a site to an enterprise unit or an enterprise unit to a site. If an enterprise unit is linked to a site, the entities of the site belong to the enterprise unit.
Conversely, if a site is linked to an enterprise unit, the entities of the
enterprise unit belong to the site. Position The position number of the line. Effective Date The effective date of the actual supply source. If you use
