Multi-Site Operations
CWK and Digifab Shop (DFW) operate as two distinct sites in the Epicor ERP system. This has practical consequences you will encounter daily.

Switching Sites
- Click the user icon (bottom left of Epicor).
- Select Company.
- Choose the site (CWK or Digifab).
- Refresh the page — the loading bar does not trigger a full refresh of the homepage cards.
Always refresh after switching. Failure to refresh can show stale data from the previous site.
Site-Specific Behavior
Dashboard Cards
- Cards labeled CW or DF are site-specific — they only open when logged into the corresponding site.
- Cards without a site designation work from either site.
Submittal Dashboard
Must launch from the CW site but includes assignments from both sites.
Production Report
- Global Production Report: Read-only, shows all open jobs from both sites.
- Site-Specific Production Reports: Updatable, but only for one site at a time.
Time Entry
Time entry must be performed per site. You cannot enter hours for both Colorado and New York projects in a single batch. At minimum, you will need one bulk entry per site per week.
Part Synchronization
- General materials (GM) are created in Colorado first, then synced nightly to New York.
- Project-specific materials are not synced — create them on the correct site.
- Best practice: always create and verify parts on the Colorado version first.
Common Gotchas
- Forgetting to refresh after site switch → stale data on homepage cards
- Trying to update a Production Report from the wrong site → changes won’t save
- Submitting time for both sites in one batch → entries will fail for the wrong site
- Looking for a newly created GM part at NY before 24-hour sync → part not found
