		<Paragraph>In a multicompany structure, SSA ERP prints receipt acknowledgements in the financial company in which you register the payment. SSA ERP uses the Relation Intercompany Documents (tfgld112) table to find the related invoices in other financial companies of the company group.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>To avoid performance problems, the financial companies of the company group can share the Receipt Acknowledgements (tfcmg200) table. If you run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/acr/tfacr2260m000" role="session">Archive / Delete Fully Paid Sales Invoices (tfacr2260m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP also deletes all the receipt acknowledgements related to the deleted invoices. If the financial companies of the company group do not share the Receipt Acknowledgements (tfcmg200) table, SSA ERP must process the receipt acknowledgements in each individual company.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If the financial companies of the company group share the Receipt Acknowledgements (tfcmg200) table, you must create the number group and series for receipt acknowledgement in the group company. The financial companies must all use the same number group and each company must use its own, unique, series for the receipt acknowledgement.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP prints receipt acknowledgements for business partners, for which you select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom4114s000#tccom114.prra" role="formfield">Print Receipt Acknowledgement</GUIRef> check box in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom4114s000" role="session">Pay-by Business Partners (tccom4114s000)</GUIRef> session. If you define the business partner details by department, SSA ERP checks the details defined for a business partner department that is equal to the accounting department of the financial company.</Paragraph>
