Master data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sunflower 60

I have one Distributor in nj and 2 wholeslae stores in ny . Also will open 3 more wholesale stores in CT, TN, DE. 

It is all different entities. 

In this case, is it better to have one master data file to manage each entity separatly?

Or  build each separate master data file for each entity ? 

Or one master data for DT and another master data for all wholesale store levels? 

DT default base unit is case, store default base unit is selling unit ( each, box, case ) 

Can you tell me what is pros and cons for each senario ? 

Thanks

    Each company has it’s own data. In the background with SQL it creates a table per company. So every company has it’s very own master data and very own transactional data. Own a small selection of data is shared like users

    Thank you Mr. Gabor.

    Yes. DT and each store has different legal entity even owner is same.

    If l do have one master data for all and one chart of account, what will happen ?

    Does business central supports to have me  multilple master data for each entity ?without customization ?

    Can you tell me more detail for my understanding?

    Thanks,

    hi,

    do you mean they are separate legal entities  ?

    In this case you would need to have separate chart of accounts , in this case you need to have them in separate  companies thus separate master data. ( there are addons on app source to keep such masterdata in sync) .

    Otherwise if they are same legal entity you could look at responsibility centers and locations.

    Not sure if this helps !
