Initial Company
When you first enable the Multicompany application, DPS converts your existing database to support multiple companies and creates the initial company.
- If you have a single DPS database, all data in it belongs to the initial company.
- If you have more than one DPS database, the initial company receives all data in the database that you selected when you logged into DPS immediately prior to enabling the Multicompany application.
When you enable the Multicompany application, you establish a new first-level code at the top of your organization structure. This new first-level code is the identifier for the initial company.
After you create the initial company, you can add more companies.
Example
For example, assume that you create a new first-level code for your organization structure. This organization code represents the initial company. Existing organization codes are pushed down a level to accommodate the company code:
