Allows setting up plant and distribution chain (DChain) groups and allows defining filters.
Plant groups / DChain-groups
Certain settings can be limited to certain plants resp. to certain distribution chains.
In this setting the wild chard character * can always be used. But sometimes the usage of * is not possible and the settings must be replicated for each organizational unit.
Example:
Plant 1000, 1150, 2000 and 2150 exist. A setting shall be valid for plant 1000 and 2150 only. However it is not possible to define a *-mask, which will exactly define these two plants.
In order to avoid this problem, groups of organizational units, which shall be treated equally, can be defined by setting up plant or distribution chain groups. The group key contains of a three digit code and to these groups will then be assigned the organizational units.
The groups can then be used in the relevant settings, starting with a „&" before the group code. The groups can be used in the following settings:
