When two or more manufacturing sites exist within one physical database, they are often managed by different production controllers or planners.

Many work order programs let users select a range of orders to process. When a database has multiple sites, it is important that planners update only the orders for which they are responsible. In most cases this means restricting order update to a single site.

Most work order update programs and reports include either a site selection or a site range selection. Site security, defined in the System Security menu (36.3) is checked for all programs that update the database. If the site selection is blank, the user must have access to all sites. Users with access to only specific sites must run the programs by limiting the site selection appropriately.

See User Guide: QAD Security and Controls for details.
