ODM
For multiple logistic companies, depending on the required data management functionality, several tables of the Object Data Management (dm) package can or must be shared between these logistic companies. These table sets assume that the common tables as described for the General Multicompany setup are also shared between the logistic companies.
R65000 Central Document Management (KT)
Central document management implies that one document is available for the same entity (for example, item, business partner, or contract) across multiple companies. Therefore, if an item is shared and a document is linked to this item, to have this linked document available in all companies, central document management is required. To achieve this, the tables of this table set must be shared.
- To achieve central document management on a certain entity, for example, for items, this entity must also be shared. To achieve central document management on the engineering documents linked to an item, the item data must also be shared.
- If the documents are managed centrally, all entities such as sales orders and purchase orders to which documents are linked, must have unique IDs across companies. Suppose that in two companies a sales order SLS123456 exists (and the sales orders are not shared) and in both companies a document is linked to this sales order. In ODM, these orders cannot be distinguished from each other and the same document will be returned in both companies.
- This table set is identical to the maximum table set. Therefore, this table set contains all tables from the Object Data Management (dm) package that can be shared. Tables that are not part of this table set cannot be shared.
