Single Company Db or Multiple Company Db

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We have 8 companies therefore 8 separate companies in GP. The companies are not totally similar. The question is do we collapse all these companies into one large Db or keep them separate. Anyone have any pro's or con's with doing something like this. It's interesting that GP allows you to have multiple company setups so is that the answer?  Keeping them separate, the only other issue is consolidation of reporting financials. Anyone doing something like this?

    RE: Single Company Db or Multiple Company Db

    Hi Michael,

    We experienced this scenario and identified below points,

    There were 5 different companies in GP and combined them into a single company

    > when we are maintaining as individual companies, we experienced more routines as every Financial Routines seems to be performed in each company individually

    when we have one single company, it is sufficient to perform financial routine just once

    > Installation & Configuration

    The system allows to have different Accounting Structure and other setups in multiple companies

    It is required to have once Accounting Structure and one Setup in Single Company

    for Initial one time setup, it will be time consuming for having as Single Company but for Routines it is good to have Single Company.
