Multicompany structure

These multicompany structures exist:

• Single Logistic – Single Financial
• Single Logistic – Multi Financial
• Multi Logistic – Single Financial
• Multi Logistic – Multi Financial

In a Single Logistic – Single Financial setup with one company of type Both, no table sharing is required. In all other setups, and therefore including a single logistic–single finance setup with two different companies, tables must be shared. The tables that must be shared are listed later in this document. This chapter describes only some general principles.

In a multicompany setup, some common tables from the Common (tc) module, such as the Company Data (com) and Enterprise Modeling Management (emm) tables, must be shared between the various companies, while others are optional, depending on the required functionality. Which tables are part of the content of the Table Sharing Modeler is described in Using Predefined Table Sets.

In case of multiple finance companies, some financial tables must also be shared between the various financial companies. The other financial tables depend on the required functionality.

In case of multiple logistic companies, sharing the logistic tables is optional.
