Has anyone that has implemented Engineering found it an issue that there is no access management of data in Engineering except for Permissions ?  (Nothing like company in Finance or Ste in SCM)  We are implementing into a group of companies in the defence industry and they find it unacceptable due to IP constraints to share the data between companies.

If anyone has a good work around or CRIM developed for this challenge I would like to hear about it.

In IFS you have the concept of Company and Site. Also, Document Management gives you another layer of protection when you set up document classes and access to them (different from user permission sets). 

With ITAR and export restrictions is a little complex, you still have the same storage to place everything in and your Administrative team needs all the clearances required. Engineered parts are Global, same as master parts/suppliers/customers, however purchase/sales/inventories can be site/company separated.  

For compliance, nothing stops you to have a separate PROD environment where you could bring the required parts to work on. 

 

Hope it helps.
