After company accounts are created, you can set up virtual companies that share tables from the main Microsoft Dynamics AX database. For information about the relationship between these types of accounts

In Microsoft Dynamics AX, data is segregated by company account. If two or more companies need to share data, then you can create a virtual company.

If multiple companies share the same security profile, then you can use a domain. A domain is a group of company accounts. Companies can be organized into domains in order to grant permissions to users. For more information about domain. Pls Refer manage domains in my blog.

Virtual company accounts contain data that is shared across company accounts. This type of account enables users to post information in one company that is available to another company.
