_Wastes, containers, facilities, methods, qualifications, lab pack categories, floor plans and storage limits are settings you edit. No developer ticket needed._

# Data you edit, not code you call about.

Systems in this trade are built for one contractor and bent to fit the next. In Mercovi, the things that differ between contractors are settings.

_Screen: settings — wastes, containers, facilities, methods, qualifications, lab pack categories, floor plans and ordered storage-limit rules, all editable._

- **What is yours to edit.** Wastes, containers, disposal facilities, management methods, billing methods, qualifications, pay categories, lab pack categories, floor plans and storage limits.
- **Storage limits per facility.** Each facility carries its own ordered rules — transfer hold, generator accumulation, storage permit — and the first rule matching a container governs its clock. No day count is stored in the software.
- **Lab pack categories.** Your own categories with their generic proper shipping names, and the category pairs that must not share a drum.
- **Floor plans.** Bays, racks, floor areas and docks for each facility, because every building is different.

## Settings.

Every list a contractor would ever need to be different is a setting. Adding a disposal facility is a form, and the storage limits are ordered rules you write per facility.

## Questions

### What happens when I need a new disposal facility?

Add it in settings — its name, EPA ID and approvals — and it is available on waste streams and [manifests](/platform/manifests) as soon as it is saved. Its approval numbers then print on the manifest lines that go to it. There is no developer ticket, and no waiting on anyone outside your own office.

### Where do storage limits come from?

From you, per facility, as ordered rules. Because the governing limit depends on the facility's status, the generator's status and the state, Mercovi stores no day count in code — see [the three storage clocks](/compliance#clocks). Each container is matched against the first matching rule, and shows its clock as a status: within the limit, near it, or past it.

The eight records: [Clients and sites](/platform/clients-sites) · [Waste catalog](/platform/waste-catalog) · [Waste profiles](/platform/profiles) · [Manifests](/platform/manifests) · [Crew](/platform/crew) · [Billing](/platform/billing) · [Reports](/platform/reports) · [Configuration](/platform/configuration)

- ‹ Previous — **Reports** A report and an invoice describing the same work cannot disagree, because the report counts each stream the way that client is actually charged for it. [Reports](/platform/reports)
- Next › — **Clients and sites** The client is where the terms live. The site is where the templates live. A job at that site starts as a copy of both, and the copy belongs to the job. [Clients and sites](/platform/clients-sites)
