It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain data integrity. Your site should be linked to company 10.
If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that each student's data be isolated in a unique site. The site you create should be linked to company 10.
If you have not created your own site in the current course database, see the general exercise for Site for instructions.

To ensure that students have parts, routings, structures, and other information set up correctly, they should complete the Overview of Discrete Manufacturing Data lesson. This lesson provides step-by-step directions for copying the Discrete Manufacturing racing engine data to their site. The Discrete Manufacturing racing engine data is used by most lessons in this course.
Two lessons in this course do not rely on the Discrete Manufacturing racing engine data. The Batch Balancing Shop Order Requisitions lesson uses paint data with directions for copying that data to their site. The Handling Shop Orders with CTO Products uses the data set up in the Define CTO Basics course.
