Next, click on the Organization Categories field, select the Manufacturer Organization Type from the drop-down menu. Click Save to confirm the change

Create Lower-level Organizations

• After the Manufacturer has been created, you can create other lower-level Organizations using either the Webform or the Excel import file
• If you create the Organizations using the Excel import file, there are some notes that you should be aware of:
• 1 - When you create the direct lower-level Organizations of the Manufacturer - The Distributor or the Branch, you must copy the exact Organization Code of the Manufacturer on the Web app then paste it into the Parent Organization Code cell of the Distributor/Branch in the Excel import file

2 - When you create the Organizations that have yet to exist on the Web app, follow this step to create the parent-child relationship between an upper-level Organization and its direct lower-level Organizations (For example, a Branch and its Depot) in the Excel import file: Copy the Organization Code of the upper-level Organization from its Organization Code cell then paste that value into the Parent Organization Code cells of its direct lower-level Organizations
