Using EMT Across Domains and Databases
Using the Shared Services Domain module, a single database may include more than one active domain. Each domain represents a separate business operation with its own base currency, chart of accounts, and business configuration.
You can use EMT functions between business organizations in one domain, in different domains within the same database, or in different domains in separate QAD databases. The way EMT functions in these various scenarios is basically the same. However, if the related business units are represented by different domains within the same database, it becomes easier to use the direct allocation feature of EMT.
The following list summarizes the scenarios supported for EMT:
• Within a single database where the PBU and SBU are within the same domain.
• Within a single database where the PBU and SBU are in different domains.
• Across multiple databases where the PBU and SBU are in different domains.
• Across multiple databases where the PBU is in a database with domains and the SBU is in a database on an earlier release. In this case, direct allocation cannot be used.
• Across multiple databases where the PBU is in a database without domains (earlier than eB2.1) and the SBU is in a database with domains (eB2.1 or higher). In this case, direct allocation cannot be used.
Note: The SBU could also be using a non-QAD system. Direct allocation is not supported in this scenario either, regardless of the PBU’s QAD version.
