Replicated Tables
To improve system performance and provide efficiency for data retrieval, some data is stored in duplicate tables in the database. In these cases, the data is created and maintained in one primary table and then copied to a secondary table for use by other functions in the system. When a diagram references a secondary table, the secondary table appears with a shaded background to indicate that it stores data that is actively maintained in a different table.
Most of these replicated tables contain data that is maintained in Financial modules.
