*Note 1 :- When an object is defined at a client level within backers group level
the object can be used by all the company codes of the client.
*Note 2 :- When an object is defined at company code level then that object is
specific and available to that company code only.
At the time of defining the objects if the system does not asked for the company
code then we can assume that the object is created at a client level and it can be
used by all the company codes
of the client but at the time of creating the object if the system asked for the
company codes then we can assume that the object is created at a company code level
in that case it is applicable
to company code only.
