# Sites and organisation

> Sites, the location tree, working weeks, and the company structure costs roll up to.

Where everything is, and who it belongs to.

## Sites

A site is a plant, a depot, a campus — somewhere with its own technicians and its own working week.

Sites matter more than they look:

* Technicians are **rostered at a site** and cannot absorb another site's load, which is why
  [capacity](/work/capacity) never blends them.
* The **site switcher** narrows what you are looking at.
* **Site access** decides which sites a user may reach at all. See [access](/setup/access).

Each site carries its address, its timezone and its **working week** — which days and hours count as
working time. That is what service-level clocks and capacity are computed against, so a site that
runs Sunday to Thursday must say so.

## The location tree

Inside a site, locations nest as deeply as you need:

```text theme={null}
Delhi Plant
└── Building A
    └── First floor
        └── Production Line 4
            └── Pump house
```

Assets live at locations. The tree is what makes "everything in Building A" a question you can ask —
of work, of cost, of downtime.

**Location types** — building, floor, line, room — are a configurable list, so your tree uses your
plant's vocabulary.

## Company structure

Separate from where things physically are, and used for cost rather than geography:

| Level             | What it is                                   |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Company**       | A legal entity. Has its own default currency |
| **Business unit** | A division within a company                  |
| **Cost centre**   | Where maintenance cost is booked             |
| **Department**    | Who owns the equipment operationally         |

A single-plant operation can leave most of this alone. A group running several legal entities in
different currencies needs it, because that is what makes cost roll up correctly.

## Currency

Each company carries a default currency. Costs are recorded in the currency they occurred in and
carry their conversion, so a vendor invoiced in one currency and parts bought in another still total
correctly.

## Adding a site

**New** on the sites screen. A site needs a name, a code, an address, a timezone and a working week.
Build the location tree underneath it afterwards.

<Warning>
  Think about site boundaries before loading data. Splitting one site into two later means moving
  assets, re-rostering technicians and reassigning access — all possible, none pleasant.
