Shared Master Files

A handful of master files belong to no single module — every module reads them. They are the dimensions every record is filed under, the customers, suppliers and other parties you deal with, the currencies you deal in, and the reusable account sides that document terms post through. Set them up once and accounting, supply chain, HR and the rest all work from the same records.

🧭Dimensions and Composite DimensionsLegal entity, sector, branch, department and analysis set — the five master files every record is filed under, the PUBLIC value, and the composite that stands for several at once.🤝Customers, Suppliers and Other PartiesThe customer, supplier, contact and third-party master files — classification, accounts, the credit limit and what it does not do, and the documents that change a party after the fact.💱Currencies and Exchange RatesThe currency master file, where the day's rate is entered, and the order in which a document looks its rate up.⚖️Accounting Side ConfigOne account side — account, subsidiary, dimensions and narration — saved once as a master file and shared by every document term that needs it.
