Re: new company - seperate environment or share environment

Hello
There are several issues that come to play when adding a new company with a different currency than that of the "local currency".
Will this company have item master costs? If so they will be in the local currency which will cause issues. Production records will be in the local currency. CAS security is an issue.

Watermark has a solution which may assist in this process. It is called Shared Applications. If you would like additonal information on this, let me know.Thanks Douglas M.
