Ease of Use

The session supports the multitable functionality that facilitates the entry of data to different packages from a session. Earlier, the data that pertained to different packages was entered in different sessions. Currently, the data of different packages can be entered from a single session that belongs to one of the packages. For Example, the data that pertains to Service Departments must be entered first in Departments (tcmcs0565m000) session in Common, and later in Service Departments (tsmdm1100m000) session in Service. From Infor LN FP4 and onwards, you can enter the Common-related data and the Service-related data in the Service Departments (tsmdm1100m000) session.

Note

You cannot enter only the Service-related data in the Service Departments (tsmdm1100m000) session. The service data must also be accompanied by Common data. However, you enter only Common data in the Service Departments (tsmdm1100m000) session and access the same data in the Departments (tcmcs0565m000) session.
