Just FYI: This is not the case with multi-companies. Both of these things
work fine if you have separate companies as opposed to separate plants.

We are opening a new plant and are considering expanding to a multi-site implementation. What pitfalls have you run into implementing multi-site and how long did the implementation take?

We rolled out 2 sites when we implemented vantage and then added a 3rd site
about a year later. These are 3 separate companies in our case and are
handled as such in Vantage. Our first implementation of 2 companies took
approx. 3 months. Adding the additional company took about a month.
Everything works well in vantage - and our accountant is happy (we do NOT
have the multi-company module). The only complaint I have had is when we
subcontract work from one company to another, the internal 'paperwork' can
be a little busy and the costing does not roll until job is done. But, we
have written reports to accumulate this so it had been a non-issue for us.

How do you segregate the sites in your system? Via G/L or department numbers?

Both. In vantage when you set-up multiple companies, each company has it's
own everything (quotes, orders, ... A/R, A/P, G/L... etc.) Also, every
transaction made is tagged with a 'company id'.

The biggest problem we've had is that the reports (custom reports in the
vantage menu) end up in all company's.
I wish there were a way to keep them separate.

What I did here was create 3 subfolders for my user-defined reports. (one
for each company). I set permissions on these folders so only the users for
that company see the folder for their company.
Then I have the same report 3x located in each subfolder with the company ID
filter set differently in each subfolder.
If I need to make a change to a report, I just make it in one report then
'save as' to replace the others and change the company id filter. It works
fine and is very minimal extra upkeep.

We have multi-site, and our only gripe is that we have to use custom
programming to allow us to print the branch's address on their Invoices
& statements. We also have custom programming to allow us to "Get
Shipments" filtered by AR Account ID.
