New company inclusion

I am looking at a situation where a company needs to implement the creation of a JDE World Environment to support a new business entity in 7.3. The new environment will run on the same AS/400 as the existing environments. The new company will have their own copy of the data files. The programs are shared between all environments. There will be cases where data elements must be unique between the environments and some cases where data elements must be kept synchronized. Work will be needed to create a separate corporate identity on pack memo and invoices. The environment will need several interfaces with other systems. Many of the interfaces will need to be analyzed and reworked to insure they will function properly for the new entity.
What are some of the technical issues that must be explored and understood to accomplish this task?
 
well, there are more of business issues than technical issues:
- are you gonna have one address book, one cost center master? if yes, you
need to create a seperate share library to hold all shared database. (you
still have common library)
- how about next number? I suggest to have a seperate NN in each data
library.
- Do you have a development environment? if yes you need to create a
seperate xxxobj and xxxsrc.
- do you have any custom logical and join files? if yes you need to create
a seperate one in the new environment.
- you may need to have a bigger box (AS/400) or add more DASD

hope that help. I've worked with and designed multiple entities of JDE, if
you have a specific questions let us know

We've just gone thru this. You need to look at how you will do consolidated financials. if you run separate accounting (2 libaries, 2 GL etc) consolidation is less straightforward. We are still working it out, and it looks like copying to a single GL will end up being the best way to consolidate.

Also, if you need to track lots ands maintain lot related info (eg mfg dates) as they move acorss companies, you will need to customize.
