Tenant, Accounting Entity and Location (tcemm3100m000)

Use this session to configure how LN selects the relevant tenant, accounting entity, and location when creating Business Object Documents (BODs).

The codes for tenant, accounting entity, and location defined in this session must be the same as the codes used in the other applications that integrate with LN.

Before LN can use a record to create a BOD, you must approve the record. To approve a record, or undo the approval, select the record and click the corresponding command in the appropriate menu.

To generate records for this session, use the Generate Tenant, Accounting Entity and Location (tcemm3200m000) session.

Search strategy

Each record in this session specifies a tenant, and optionally an accounting entity and location. If a Business Object Document (BOD) is created, LN searches for an applicable record. If LN attempts to create a BOD for which this session contains no matching record, LN fails to create the BOD.

A distinction is made between BODs for transactional data and BODs for master data.

Transactional data

For BODs for transactional data, LN first attempts to select the applicable record based on the following information:

If no matching record is found in the previous step, and the input data is of type Department, Warehouse, or Project, LN retrieves the enterprise unit of this department, warehouse or project and searches for a record for that enterprise unit.

Note: For BODs for contracts, requests-for-quotation (RFQ), purchase requisitions. and some types of warehousing orders, the department can be unspecified. In that case, LN can select a record with the Type field Department and an empty Code field.

Master data

For BODs for master data, the input data is of type Master Data.

For BODs for master data, LN attempts to select the applicable record based on the following information:

If no matching record is found in the previous step, LN selects the record where the Type field is Master Data and the Code field is empty.

Note: Specify a record for each relevant company with the Type field Master Data and the Code field empty. These records serve as default.
