Virtual
company accounts
The following rules apply when you work with Microsoft Dynamics AX virtual company accounts:
-
If the new company is part of a virtual company, and there are no other companies in that virtual company, then the multisite functionality is activated for the new company account.
-
If the new company is part of a virtual company, and the multisite functionality is active for all of the other companies in that virtual company, then the multisite functionality is activated for the new company account.
-
If the new company is part of a virtual company, and the multisite functionality is not active for one or more of the other companies in that virtual company, then the multisite functionality is not activated for the new company account.
The program displays an Infolog that warns that the multisite functionality was not activated for the new company, because it is part of a virtual company where the multisite functionality is not activated for all of the companies.
-
If the InventParameters table is shared through a virtual company, the multisite functionality is not activated for a new company account.
-
Tables that contain a field of type InventDimId must not be shared across multiple companies after the multisite functionality has been activated for one of the companies in the virtual company.
Caution
Failure to heed this rule may cause unpredictable behavior and data loss.
When a new company is created and made part of a virtual company, however, there are no checks to detect whether tables that contain InventDimId fields are shared. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that such tables are not shared.
