Manufacturing template versus other templates for site creation
Key Takeaway
The Manufacturing template comes with ready-made tabs for sales agreements, advanced account forecasts, and rebates. On a site built from another template, such as Partner Central, or from scratch, you give that access by adding menu items for the objects.
An Experience Cloud site for Agentforce Manufacturing is a portal where a manufacturer's partners and customers work with the manufacturer on things like sales agreements, forecasts, and rebates. When you create the site, you pick a starting point. The predefined Manufacturing template already includes the Manufacturing objects and features. With another template or a site built from scratch, you add those objects yourself.
