You can register Marketing Authorization Holders (MAHs) in the Wholesaler FMD application to complete activities for them. To complete these activities, a connection has to be set up between the tenant (your company) and its MAH.
You can either invite a MAH to be a partner in Movilitas.Cloud or you can establish a connection to the external system of the MAH (SAP ICH or TraceLink).
If a MAH invites you to be a 3PL in Movilitas.Cloud and you accept the invitation, the MAH is automatically added under the MAHs tab and you can update the connection and set the FMD report settings.
