Required functionality

If the decisions with regard to the EM company and the multicompany setup are made, specific functional requirements are analyzed to finalize the table sharing. Related to the required functionality, you must share a set of tables. For example, to have central purchase contracts, at least the purchase contracts and the purchase contract lines must be shared. In addition, referenced data such as the items and the business partners must be shared, unless, as described previously, the reference mode permits the data to remain empty.

For the most common sharing functionalities, the required tables to be shared are described. More detailed information about the tables is available in Using Predefined Table Sets. For each functional requirement, a table set is created in which the tables are specified that must be shared for this requirement.
