Multi Main Table sessions
A Multi Main Table (MMT) session is a combination of multiple sessions, each having their own main table.
MMT sessions are designed to present data with a typical parent-child structure, such as the following:
- Sales Order and the related Sales Order Lines
- Financial Business Partner group and the related Ledger accounts and Control accounts
- Work Order and the related Work Order activity lines, Work Order material resources, Work Order other resources, Work Order measurements, Work Order Hours accounting
Although this data is distributed among several main-tables in the system, it can all be presented and edited from within a single parent-child session.
This enables users to enter their data fast and to have a good overview of their work.
A typical parent-child session has two areas:
- The upper part contains information and functionality about the parent.
- The lower part contains one or more lists that show data about the various types of children.
Parent data and child data can be edited inside the session, which makes the sessions extremely powerful for data entry. A parent-child session gives the user a complete overview of all important data related to the object.
This figure shows an example of a parent-child session:
