Business Unit

purposes and don't have any predetermined restrictions or requirements.

-Tablesets are often triggered by business unit.

Tablesets

-Table sets enable you to share control table information and processing optionsamong business units.

-The goal is to minimize redundant data and system maintenance tasks.

Table Sharing

the values of which (CCB, PST, VNB) control the TableSets that are used.

2.Create two TableSet IDs:

USA: For U.S. companies.

CAN: For Canadian companies.

Set Control Field

The set control field determines which set of values appears, based on how we

define table sharing.
