Add or edit a Plant

Depending upon the privileges you have, you can add a new Plant either under the tenant or to an existing Organization. The privilege can be assigned via Management Center.

Before You Begin:

• You must consider the following points before you add or edit a Plant:

  • Only a Tenant administrator has the privilege to add a Plant under the tenant.

  • You can add or edit an Plant only if you are a tenant administrator or you have the permission to access that Plant.

• You must consider the following points related to Time Zone and Culture field in a Plant.

  • The Time Zone and Culture settings of a Plant are automatically inherited by the Bases under that Plant.

  • If you modify the Time Zone and Culture field of a Plant, the Bases (having inherited TimeZone and Culture values) under that Plant will also inherit the modified values.

  • To clear the Time Zone and Culture field in a Plant, you must first modify the inherited Time Zone and Culture field in the Bases. To know how to modify the Time Zone and Culture value for a Base, see the topic Add or edit a Base in a Plant.
