Multi-finance with one Logistic Company

This functionality re-creates and posts sales- and purchase invoices from one central Logistic Company (work administration) in multiple Finance Companies.
If for each legal entity a dedicated administration/company, with his own P&L, VAT-declaration, etc. is needed
but logistic processes are all configured and performed in a central company, for example Transportation (TMS) AND Warehouse (WMS) this is a welcome feature.
Note: Central Layer module is obligated!

Setup

  1. First make sure C/L is implemented correctly Central Layer Essentials
  2. On the C/L Partners add the G/L Entry Message, SND-GLJOURNAL - on each partner!
    If this message doesn't exists, create it using 11172806 "3PL DI Process API Functions" - function 800
  3. Create in each target-finance company the DI Message RCV-FINDOC: 11172806 "3PL DI Process API Functions" - function 810
  4. Make sure that in each company the DI Message GENERIC-MESSAGE exists and is activated
  5. For each finance company, set up different posting no.series for posted invoices in sales- and purchase setup

    For example: - Functionset to copy C/L partner code from Global Dimension 1 (Set as company dimension value)
