Hi Folks,
I'm hesitating between two ways of mapping the Business App / App Service structure for a specific Manufacturing Operations Management application.
There's a global MOM apps that is installed in different manufacturing sites. Normally, I'd be leaning to treat this overall MOM as a single Business App and every installation would be an Application Service.
But what about financials (EA rationalization) and Ownership? Ownership I believe can be set up at App Service level, but the TCO is only presented on the Business App level I think?
The other option is to set up each local installation as a separate Business App. Not too sure about that either, this would multiply the entries a lot and we would end up having a huge amount of Business Apps probably, considering this is not an uncommon scenario to have separate installations per geography etc.
Did anyone have similar dilemma and how did you go about this?
Many thanks!

Is your hesitation because each installation of this application is governed and owned by different people based on geography/site? Is there no rollup?
For example, the application deployed in United Kingdom is deployed 3 times. "bob" has full autonomy of the application. In the USA "Sally" has the same autonomy over USA deployments. There is no interaction between the UK or USA. Although the app is provided by the same vendor, each geography manages the application in silo, with no interaction for financials/roadmap/technical landscape etc. ?

Hi, I'd say from IT perspective, the application is supported centrally, but business ownership is very granular per geography. Each installation has its own owner. So yeah there is a bit of siloed approach happening.

I would create Multiple Business Apps for each MOM. Business Application is about the Budget and Roadmap for that MOM app. The Instances are how to support at different Levels such as DEV, Prod or regional instances.
To Group things you can create a MOM Platform Business app so it logically grouped and can role up the data.
