In answer to (some of) your questions: If they are individual companies would they all share a common Vendor File? They do not currently share a common vendor file or consistent vendor numbers. This would be a separate project. If they share a common Vendor file, do you process the Payables on a consolidated basis? Not sure about this one. What are the advantages of ONE big database? We are getting software from a 3rd party and they have requested that we convert our existing 26 databases to one. From my personal standpoint, some things such as Crystal Reports would be easier. What is the Disadvantage of the individual company databases? The time it takes to do it Do they all have the same year end? yes Do they all have the same GL structure? yes, the same structure. Do they all share the same Sales Customers? Payables and GL only. No customers My real question is, can I have multiple companies with different federal tax ID numbers in one database?
