Thanks for pointing the JIRA issue out. At this point, I am just evaluating the framework and trying to determine existing, out-of-the-box capabilities. My exposure to Java programming has only been on the deployment end of a finished app, to this point, so I doubt I'd be contributing something this major back (a better route would probably be sponsorship).
I think I can make the existing functionality work, although support for multiple facilities would certainly help things in the long run. But support for multiple facilities aside, why is it that only facilities that are a type of warehouse show up in the manufacturing module, instead of plants?

Hi Kevin, the processes to implement this are still not implemented; see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-198 for some details. If you are going to implement (and contribute back) something like this I'd me more than to help you to draft out the required mods. Jacopo Kevin M.
