	</Header>
	<GeneralSection><Paragraph class="Default">A Multi Main Table (MMT) session is a combination of multiple sessions, each of which has a unique main table.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>MMT sessions are especially designed to present data with a typical parent-child structure, for example:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Sales order and the related sales order lines</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Financial business partner group and the related ledger accounts and control accounts</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Work order and the related work order activity lines, work order material resources, work order other resources, work order measurements, and work order hours accounting</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph class="Default">Although this data is distributed among several main-tables in the system, the data can all be presented and edited from a single parent/child session.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">This enables users to enter data quickly and to maintain a good overview in their work.</Paragraph>
		<List><ListIntro>A typical parent-child session has two areas:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>The upper part contains information and functionality about the parent</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The lower part contains one or more lists that show data about the various types of children</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph class="Default">Both parent data and child data can be edited inside the session, which makes the sessions extremely powerful for data entry. In addition, a parent/child session also offers the user a complete overview of all the important data related to the object.</Paragraph>
