Expalin TCA architecture, why it was introduced in R12?

Answer Posted / narender chintam

TCA : The summation of all entities, inclusive of partners,
suppliers, and competitors, that are related to your
customers is called a Trading Community

BEFORE TCA :
1.There are multiple customer definitions across the
enterprise.
2.It was very difficult to track current and historical
information about the customers.
3.There was a lack of support for mixed business.
4.It was quite tough to understand relationships between
customers and others (suppliers, partners, competitors)

Trading Community Architecture:
Trading Community Architecture is the implementation of
technology and applications to allow users to create and
maintain relationships among entities. It is a way to
understand who your customer interacts with inside and
outside the enterprise.

The Purpous of Interduce TCA.
1.Create a central repository for the entire E-Business
Suite to store information relating to all members of a
trading community versus separate tables for each member-
Prospects, Customers, Contacts, Employees, Partners,
Distributors, Suppliers, Banks, etc.
2.Record complex business relationships between Trading
Community entities (including 3rd party relationships).
3.Support all business models, industries, and geographies
*** By Using the TCA we can avoide the Duplicity of Trading
Partner records and its also impacted byt the MOAC and
other few concepts where we can use the Suppliers banks and
Customers acrros the Business Unit leve
