Implementing Manufacturing and Materials Management: From Empty Plant to Costed Work Order · Module 6 · Quick Setup and the Conference Room Pilot

When it makes an assumption you did not want, you are editing objects you have never built — you do not know which page they live on, what a correct one looks like, or which of its thirty parameters it just decided for you. That is a bad first encounter. Build it once by hand and the accelerator becomes a shortcut; start with the accelerator and it becomes a black box you are slightly afraid of. What it is genuinely good for: conference room pilots — which is why these two topics share a module
