hi all,
my client is a group concern and they are maintaining their companies separately in nav. For all the companies their items are same and they want to use the same item master. Now their requirement is, whenever they are creating a new item in company A, it should reflect in all other companies.at the same time transactions should not reflect…Is there any way to do this in NAV?
awaiting for your valuable suggestions… 
Thanks in advance

You could make use of the CU 423 “Change Log Management” which is being called whenever a rcord is being changed MANUALLY by the user.
In there you receive the item record (watch out for related tables like item unit of measure, sales price and so on) as Record Reference.
Now you could pass this record reference to a function you define which populates the fields of the item to the other companies.
We are using such a structure for a client and it is working quite well.
Thanks all for your valuable suggetions and let me go thorough it…
Regards,
Ratheesh
