Sites (locations)

A site is a physical location where work is performed. In manufacturing, this commonly means a physical plant at which products are built.

Factory Track maintains a separate instance for each site, meaning data is never intermingled between multiple sites. Workforce Management, however, can store ERP data for multiple sites. When Factory Track requests information from Workforce Management about employees, work orders, or supporting information, Factory Track must provide the name of the site. See Configuring site parameters on Factory Track.

Internally, Workforce Management stores sites as "locations". This name can be localized if required.

For details on localization, see "Configuration Tools" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

To view locations in Workforce Management, select Maintenance > Payroll Settings > Locations.

As you will see in the sections that follow, all the other data elements related to Shop Floor data are site-specific.
