	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>Before you can set up an integration mapping scheme, the following actions must have been performed:</ListIntro>
			<ListItemHead>Set up the table sharing.</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In a multifinancial company structure, it is recommended that the financial companies share the mapping scheme tables and the reconciliation tables (tables tfgld430 to tfgld495). The financial companies then all map the integration transactions to the same ledger accounts and dimensions. You can define exceptions to the shared mapping for individual integration document types.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Note</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>When you start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4573m000" role="session">Mapping Scheme (tfgld4573m000)</GUIRef> session, SSA ERP checks whether the required tables are correctly shared. If this is not the case, an error message is displayed listing the tables that are not correctly shared and you cannot start the session.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Initialize Mapping Scheme Data</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/fin/tcfin0210m000" role="session">Initialize Mapping Scheme Data (tcfin0210m000)</GUIRef> session, select the transaction origins and the mapping elements that must be mapped and then click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/fin/tcfin0210m000#initialize.mapping.scheme" role="formcommand">Initialize</GUIRef>. SSA ERP generates the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000450" role="glossary">integration document types</Link> and retrieves the business objects and <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000016" role="glossary">mapping elements</Link> required for the packages and modules that are selected in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom0100s000" role="session">Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
			<ListItem><List><ListIntro>Initialize the integration document types required within <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef>:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>To map the procurement card transactions to ledger accounts and dimensions, and to map the financial transactions from <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/acp" role="module">Accounts Payable</GUIRef> to the various dimensions for dimension accounting.

			<ListItemHead>Authorize users to post integration transactions</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>Users can only post integration transactions if they belong to an <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000461" role="glossary">integration user group</Link>. In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4135m000" role="session">Integration User Groups (tfgld4135m000)</GUIRef> session, you can define user groups. For details, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/integrations/400021" role="manual">Integration user groups</Link>.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Set up the integration parameters</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem><List><ListIntro>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000" role="session">Integration Parameters (tfgld4150s000)</GUIRef> session, take the following actions:</ListIntro>
					<ListItem>Initialize the descriptions of the business objects, integration document types, and business object attributes, in the installed languages. On the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000#initialize.descriptions" role="formcommand">Initialize Descriptions</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Enter a default transaction type and series for the integration transactions. Newly entered integration document types are only inserted automatically on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Document Numbering and Compression</GUIRef> tab of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4573m000" role="session">Mapping Scheme (tfgld4573m000)</GUIRef> session if a default transaction type and series are available.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Select the way in which you want to handle the document numbers and the batch numbers for the integration transactions.</ListItem>
					<ListItem>Optionally select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000#tfgld450.dlep" role="formfield">Delete Logged Elements during Posting</GUIRef> check box. Removing integration information that is not longer needed can save space and avoid a possible low performance.</ListItem>

			<ListItemHead>Define the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000450" role="glossary">integration accounts</Link>
			</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0108s000" role="session">Chart of Accounts (tfgld0108s000)</GUIRef> session, define the ledger accounts to be used for the integration transactions. You must select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0108s000#tfgld008.inta" role="groupbox">Integration Account</GUIRef> check box. Integration accounts cannot be used for any other type of transactions, for example, manual transactions.</ListItem>
			<ListItemHead>Define integration user groups for Operations Management areas</ListItemHead>
			<ListItem>For information purposes, you can group the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000451" role="glossary">Operations Management</Link> users who create integration transactions in <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000461" role="glossary">integration user groups</Link>. For details, refer to <Link href="/baanerp/tf/integrations/400021" role="manual">Integration user groups</Link>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>To support dimension mapping in the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000015" role="glossary">integration mapping scheme</Link>, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0510m000" role="session">Dimensions (tfgld0510m000)</GUIRef> session you can import the codes of various entities and properties defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs" role="module">Tables</GUIRef> module of <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc" role="package">Common Data</GUIRef> to create the dimensions.</ListItem>
