Create One Organization for Each Store

When you create a new partner company and click Register, Siebel Partner Manager creates an organization that represents that partner company.

In Siebel PRM, you or the partners may optionally create suborganizations of this partner organization, to restrict data visibility within the partner company.

In Siebel eDealer, you or the partner company must create a suborganization of this dealer organization representing each of the dealer's stores. For example, if the dealer has 500 showrooms, the dealer organization must have 500 suborganizations, one representing each showroom.

It is necessary to have a separate organization for each store so dealers can use the added features that Siebel eDealer provides to allow dealers to manage their own retail operations.

It is generally best to use delegated administration to allow dealers to maintain their own employees and stores. After you have finished adding a new dealer company, when you contact the delegated administrator, you should tell the delegated administrator to create a suborganization for each store and to associate the employees of each store (including the store's delegated administrator) with the proper suborganization.

For more information, see the section about delegated administration in the setup chapter of Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide.
