1.3 Organizational Units
Organizational Units are the first step in setting up the product. Organizational Units are used to define the organization’s hierarchical structure.
For example: Company A has Plant 1 and Plant 2. Plant 1 has Processing, Packaging, and Maintenance units. Each should be defined as its own Organizational Unit. Many items defined in the product will be associated with a primary Organizational Unit.

Shifts
Shifts are periods of time that can be used to assign Employees to Jobs. Shifts are also used in Employee permissions and Bid Lines.

Job Locations
Job Locations provides users the ability to associate Jobs with Locations.
After a Job Location association is created, an Employee can be qualified for the Job Location, rather than having a separate Job and Location Qualification. Demands will be defined on a Job Location basis as well.
