Microsoft Great Plains, Axapta, SAP Business One, Oracle E-Business Suite - SQL databases/companies
By Andrew Karasev
Corporate ERP clients
sometimes come up with the question, which can not be answered by one specific
ERP reseller. Very good example is this question: our corporation has about 100
legal entities, such as subsidiaries in Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany,
Russia, plus we have legal entities in the USA by product lines and services.
Currently we have Microsoft Dynamics GP - Great Plains architecture requires
each legal entity to be Great Plains company and have separate Microsoft SQL
Server database. It is simply not feasible to run 100 SQL databases for just
ERP/Accounting system. How this is designed in other MRPs: Oracle Financials,
Microsoft Dynamics AX, SAP Business One? In this small article we are trying to
orient you, IT specialist.
Microsoft Dynamics
GP/Great Plains. The architecture
of Great Plains requires separate SQL Server database for the company/legal
entity. You can have intercompanies transactions, but you should do in this
case intercompanies records in GL by hand or have Intercompanies Transactions
module (or advanced intercompanies module from third party)
Oracle
Financials/Applications/E-Business Suite.
Regarding Oracle Applications, it has an organization model that you can define
organizations and the relationship among them. Using this model, you are able to
define different structures to customize Oracle Applications according to your
business need. The basics business needs are:
Use a single
installation of Oracle Applications product to support any number of
organization (just one database instance)
Support any number
of legal entities within a single installation of Oracle Applications.
Secure access to
data so that users can access only the information that is relevant to them
Sell products from a
legal entity that uses one set of books and ship them from another legal
entity using a different set of books.
Purchase products
through one legal entity and receive them in another legal entity.
The list above shows the
basics benefits of using multi-org on Oracle Applications.
Microsoft Dynamics
AX/Navision Axapta.
Axapta can
accommodate multiple companies within ONE DATABASE. This enables integrated
reporting, intercompany transactions, consolidation and seamless user
operation within multiple companies environment.
Master Records
Sharing. Axapta also pioneers with Master records sharing for multiple
companies, such as GL Account, Customer, Vendor.
SAP Busines One.
SAP Business One, if it sits in Microsoft SQL Server - requires separate
database for each company/legal entity
