Business value
Companies with many legal entities and a large product portfolio (such as large sales and distribution networks) often experience a significant level of duplicated product data. This feature lets you share released product data across legal entities, thereby reducing the volume of data that must be maintained while simplifying the task of maintaining product master data.
Feature details
Cross-company data sharing lets you share released product data among some or all of your legal entities. This enables you to manage just one product record and then release and share it with all specified legal entities.
Keeping a single record simplifies data maintenance. For example, you might share product data between all legal entities that purchase, produce, distribute, or sell the product. Each product can then be released just once to make it visible to all the legal entities that share it. Subsequent updates to the product will also be shared and visible to all those legal entities without duplicating the product-related information.
You can also share specific product data by specifying precisely which tables and fields to share. A template is provided to help simplify the management experience.
