Each Store Must Have One Organization
When you create a new partner company and click Register, Siebel Partner Manager creates an organization that represents that partner company.
In Siebel Dealer, it is generally recommended that you or the partner company create an organization representing each of the dealer’s stores. For example, if the dealer has 500 showrooms, it is recommended that you create 500 organizations, one representing each showroom.
By creating a separate organization for each store, you limit visibility so that each store can only see its own data and not the data from other stores. This allows dealers to use the added features that Siebel Dealer provides to manage their own retail operations, without dealers in other stores being able to see the data they enter.
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 can 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 topic about delegated administration in the setup chapter of Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide.
If your business model requires you to protect the data in each store from being viewed by other stores, create a separate organization for each store. If your business model does not require this, you do not have to create a separate organization for each store.
