Is it possible to have a Multi-Company Epicor 9 setup without So

Jim,

Did you get enough of an answer on this? I'm in the midst of setting up Multi-Company (direct, no Sonic) to add our UK subsidiary. Although there are many things you can do INTRA companies, you don't have to set any of those up right off the bat (we aren't). Once implemented without any of that stuff, all the users see is as though you are running completely separate Epicor instances for each company. Both companies' data are stored in the same physical database, but each record will have a company identifier.


As time munches on, we'll be implementing things like transfer orders and consolidated books, but not biting those chunks off yet.


Feel free to email <ernie.lowell AT dibaind.com> if you'd like to ask anything.

Is it possible to have a Multi-Company Epicor 9 setup without Sonic?

Yes, We are 905.702A SQL and use multi-company direct instead of sonic.

1. Who set you guys up? Name & number.

2. Do you have a setup PDF regarding the multi-company direct approach? 
we are on 9.05.700c and have having problems

it would be great to find a expert in this area
I believe if all companies are in the same DB Multi-company Direct can be used.

Yes if they are all in the same database that is correct
