Resetting the multisite concepts

When LN is newly implemented, that is, the new implementation is a first-time implementation and not an upgrade of an earlier version, the multisite concept parameters are set to Active. The multisite concept parameters and the other sessions and options involved in multisite activation are not displayed.

Organizations who require to inactivate the multisite functionality for specific reasons can reset the Sites, the Job Shop by Site, and the Resources by Site concept parameters to Inactive.

This applies to organizations who have an LN configuration without the multisite functionality and who want to install a new LN configuration that is to be similar to the existing configuration, using similar setup and processes. Therefore, the Sites, Job Shop by Site, and the Resources by Site concept parameters of the new configuration must be inactive. The new configuration is to run independently from the existing configuration.

To reset the Sites, the Job Shop by Site, and the Resources by Site concept parameters, complete these steps:

  1. On the appropriate menu of the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session, select Personalize Toolbar.
  2. In the Personalize Toolbar dialog box, unhide the Reset Resources by Site, Reset Job Shop by Site, and the Reset Sites options to display these options in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.
  3. Save and close the Personalize Toolbar dialog box.
  4. In the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session, select the Reset Resources by Site, Reset Job Shop by Site, and the Reset Sites options and set these concept parameters to Inactive.

Resetting the Item Type Product, Standard Cost by Enterprise Unit, and Planning Cluster Mandatory concept parameters is not required, because the impact of these settings on the business processes is limited.

Reset Resources by Site

You can reset this concept from Active to Inactivefor new companies, and from In Preparation to Inactive to undo the In Preparation step.

You can reset the Resources by Site concept from In Preparation to Inactive if no data is present for these sessions:

  • Subcontractors (tisub0120m000)
  • Operation Subcontracting Rates (ticpr1161m000)
  • Supplying Relationships (cprpd7131m000)
  • Resources (cprpd2501m000)

If the Resources by Site concept is Active, the Reset Resources by Siteoption is available as long as no sites have been defined.

Note: 

The Reset Job Shop by Site option is unavailable once you have defined or more machine capacity groups, reference operations, Job Shop routings, or Job Shop BOMs.

The Reset Sites option is unavailable once you have defined one or more sites.
