Choose Existing Company
Explanation
Use this activity to specify the identity of an existing company to be used as source
when creating a new company. Any previously created company can be used as source.
Prerequisites
- The company identity, company name, and type of company must have been previously
defined.
System Effects
- The specified company will be used by all components supporting the Create Company
Process using an existing company to create company relevant basic data in these
components.
- Components that do not support the Create Company Process using an existing
company will
use so-called default company data (if available) to create company relevant
basic data. This is typically the case when an installation consists of a mix of
components from different IFS Applications baselines.
- If the installation consists of a mix of components from different IFS Applications
baselines that support the Create Company process in different ways, then a
message box
will appear to notify the user of this situation. The creation of a company may in this
case result in inconsistency and errors.
- The company will always be created even if the selected template is not consistent with
the business logic of the Application.
