# Set up standard company

Set up a standard company for each D365 F&SCM company that you use to distribute master data. A standard company is required for each source and each target company.

For each standard company, define the data stewards. A data steward is a user in D365 F&SCM who can send and release master data for the source company and can receive the data for the target company.

> A target company data steward must have full access rights in the target company and read access rights in the source company.
