Enterprise Model and Company Configuration
The LN enterprise model in session tcemm0100m defines the relationship between companies, controlling which master data is shared and which is company-specific. Each company represents a legal entity with its own chart of accounts, fiscal calendar, and reporting currency. Shared tables reduce data maintenance overhead while company-specific tables ensure regulatory compliance per jurisdiction.
- Define the enterprise model hierarchy in tcemm0100m establishing parent-child relationships between legal entities
- Create companies using tcemm0130s with proper currency assignment, fiscal calendar, and chart of accounts linkage
- Configure shared vs. company-specific table settings in tcemm0150m to optimize master data management across entities
- Set up financial company groups to control consolidation hierarchies and intercompany elimination rules
- Establish logistic company assignments linking operational warehouses, plants, and sites to their legal entity owners
Data Sharing and Table Ownership
Infor LN uses a sophisticated table ownership model controlled through session tcemm0150m. Tables can be shared across all companies, owned by a specific company, or shared within a defined group. This architecture allows organizations to maintain a single item master or business partner master across all entities while keeping financial and tax data separate per legal entity.
- Configure table sharing levels: enterprise-wide, company group, or company-specific per functional domain
- Set up shared item masters across entities while maintaining company-specific cost prices and tax classifications
- Manage shared business partner data with company-specific payment terms, credit limits, and tax registrations
- Define numbering groups per company to ensure unique document sequences across all legal entities
Financial Consolidation Setup
Multi-company financial consolidation in Infor LN supports both statutory and management reporting hierarchies. Session tfgld0508m configures consolidation rules including currency translation methods, minority interest calculations, and intercompany elimination entries. Organizations with 10+ entities typically reduce month-end consolidation time from 5 days to under 24 hours with proper configuration.
- Configure consolidation hierarchies in tfgld0508m supporting parallel statutory and management reporting structures
- Define currency translation methods per account type: current rate for balance sheet, average rate for income statement
- Set up automatic intercompany elimination entries to remove intra-group revenue, payables, and receivables during consolidation
