Multi-Company Support

Supports up to four companies in the "Enterprise" version. A menu is shown at the bottom of the main window enabling the user to easily switch companies.

Note : This option must be used with care. 

When an account is created or updated the account is written to all companies.   Therefore the following rules must be observed:

1. The account is created, the code assigned must not have already been assigned in one of the other companies.
2. Cost of sales and Sales GL codes must be the same in all companies if overridden in the Account Record.
3. If Cost Centres and Departments are used then they must be the same in all companies.
4. If Currency is used then they must be the same in all companies.

If this function is going to be used in an installation where account records have been previously assigned in the multiple companies (not new empty Enterprise companies) -  it may be necessary to assign numerical account codes, using Master Link, to stop it overwriting existing account records in the different Enterprise companies, therefore all new accounts created by Master Link have unique account codes.

If an account already exists in one of the Enterprise companies, or differs from the updated company name, then the following user confirmation window will be displayed:

This window allows the user to decide which accounts to update in which company.
