Hi.
Sometimes it is better to go to basics and re-visit definitions.
Definition of Company in JDE
Companies are organizational entities that require a balance sheet. Therefore, creating separate companies for maintaining accounting identities of sister companies will meet the requirement.
Definition of Business Unit in JDE
A division of business organization that requires balance sheet or profit and loss statement. It is lowest level of profitability reporting entity.Each BU is unique and is owned by only one company.
Coming back to securing users:
Each company which you will create should be attached to Address Book, which in turn is attached to unique BU.
Similarly, each customer address book needs to be attached to Business Unit (MCU). This can be done in following ways:
Those customers which are to be used by users for company 'A' should be attached to BU 'X'.
Those customers which are to be used by users for company 'B' should be attached to BU 'Y'.
Those customers which are to be used by users of both companies (i.e.'A' and 'B') should be attached to BU 'Z'.
Users BU security:
Those users who will work for company 'A' should have access for BU 'X' and 'Z'.
Those users who will work for comapny 'B' should have access for BU 'Y' and 'Z'.
BU security is defined through BU security option in Menu G94.
I trust this will help you in making set-ups.
Cheers!!!

Now I would like to know if creating a new company would give us the segregation we need to keep the two facilities seperate and distinct with users of both excluded from each others information, etc. I see how we could do this with B/P security but how would we secure at the company level? Is there a way in which to secure the A/B? We may have a few customers that are shared by both plants.On the first screen of A/B maintenance, I see a field called Business Unit. Isee business units are tied to a company and that they have BU types like income statement, balance sheet and work center. Can this be used to tie a customer to a company?Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
