Dynamic logistic - financial company switching

By default, if a user starts a session, LN starts that session in the user’s default company. A user’s default company is defined in the in the User Data (ttaad2500m000) session.

Users can manually switch to another company, which means that they switch to the data set of that company. If a user runs a session in the incorrect company, for example, a financial session in a company of type Logistic, the data can become corrupt.

To prevent this problem, set up dynamic logistic-financial company switching. If you have set up dynamic logistic-financial company switching, and a user starts a logistic session, LN automatically switches to the logistic company. If the user then starts a financial session, LN switches to the appropriate financial company.

To set up dynamic logistic-financial company switching, complete these steps:

In the Logistic - Financial Company switching (ttaad0101s000) session, select the Enable Dynamic Logistic - Financial Company switching check box.
In the Companies (ttaad1100m000) session, select the type for each company: Logistic, Financial, or Both.
Convert the changes to the runtime data dictionary.
Ensure that the company type is in line with the Enterprise Modeling Management within the LN applications.
Specify which sessions must be started in which company. Run the Start Company by Module (ttaad1105m000) session and add:
- All logistic modules and set Company to Logistic.
- All logistic modules and set Company to Financial
- The remaining modules and set Company to Current.
For each user, define the default company number, logistic company and financial company. Run the User Data (ttaad2500m000) session and double-click a user to start the details session.

Note: After changing the user data you must convert the changes to the runtime data dictionary through the appropriate menu menu in the User Data (ttaad2500m000) session. The users must restart their bshell to load the new settings.

After completion of this procedure, LN automatically switches to the correct company when a user starts a session. In addition, users can still use the Change Company command in the Web UI to switch manually to another company.
