      <ProcedureList>
         <ListIntro>Before you can set up an <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000015" role="glossary">integration mapping scheme</Link>, you must perform these
		  tasks:</ListIntro>
         <ListItemHead>Set up table sharing</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>
            <Paragraph>In a multifinancial company structure, it is recommended
			 that the financial companies share the mapping scheme tables and the
			 reconciliation tables (tables tfgld430 - 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.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Note</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>When you start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4573m000" role="session">Mapping Scheme (tfgld4573m000)</GUIRef> session, ERP Enterprise 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.</Paragraph>
         </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="command">Initialize</GUIRef>. ERP Enterprise 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/tccom0500m000" role="session">Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000)</GUIRef> session.</ListItem>
         <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.</ListItem>
         <ListItemHead>Set up integration parameters</ListItemHead>

            <List>
               <ListIntro>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000" role="session">Integration Parameters (tfgld4150s000)</GUIRef> session, perform these tasks:</ListIntro>
               <ListItem>Initialize the descriptions of the business objects,
				integration document types, and business object attributes, in the installed
				languages. On the <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#specific" role="glossary">appropriate</Link> menu, click <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld4150s000#initialize.descriptions" role="command">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="manual">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>
            </List>

         <ListItemHead>Define the <Link href="/baanerp/tf/glossary/glossary#000450" role="glossary">integration accounts</Link>

         <ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0508m000" role="session">Chart of Accounts (tfgld0508m000)</GUIRef> session, define the ledger accounts to be used for the
		  integration transactions. You must select the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0508m000#tfgld008.inta" role="manual">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 user groups.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>To support dimension mapping in the integration mapping scheme,
		  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</GUIRef> to create the
		  dimensions.</ListItem>
