Define the common company data

Because the company data of all connected companies must exist in one table, you must create a new record for the shared companies in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.

  1. Start the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session:

    From the Common Data menu, select General Data > Company Data.

  2. Create a new record for each of the shared companies.

After you set up the table sharing, the existing data in the original tables is no longer used. The companies that share the table now refer to one physical table.

To specify the company data of a company, you must work in that company. For example, to enter data for company 100 in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session, you must work in company 100. For this reason, for each connected company, you must change to that company before you can specify the company data.

For each company, perform these tasks:

  1. Run Change Company and enter the company number to switch to that company.
  2. Start the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session and enter the company data for that company.
Note: 

Because you shared the company tables, the physical company no longer recognizes the company’s address codes table, and other tables. As a result, you can skip the Address field in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session. Later, after you complete Step 10, you can enter the address code for the company data. If you also share the Addresses (tccom130) table, this problem does not occur.
