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 baselines.
- If the installation consists of a mix of components from different IFS 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.
