To avoid companies accidentally registering twice in the Portal, you can use the M_PCK_COMPANY_CUSTOM.EXISTS_COMPANY_DATA1 and .EXISTS_COMPANY_DATA2 CIP procedures to apply your own checks. The CIPs return Null if the check does not find any existing data that conflicts with the entered data. If the checks find conflicting data, an error message is displayed that prompts the user to change the entered data. By default, the EXISTS_COMPANY_DATA1 checks the uniqueness of the combination company name, country and postal code, and the EXISTS_COMPANY_DATA2 checks the uniqueness of the combination company name and federal ID.
Below you can find the description of the default CIPs that are delivered with the software.
