Enterprise
The enterprise is the umbrella under which multiple companies operate. You can think of the enterprise as the parent company. Settings at the enterprise level support cross-company transactions and reporting.
At the enterprise level, above all of the companies, establish the following settings:
- Work breakdown structure ( WBS). Phases and tasks within a project can be owned by different companies.
- Fiscal calendar.
- Chart of accounts structure. However, individual accounts can be established by company.
- Organization structure. Individual companies can be divided further into organizations (such as branch offices, regions, or disciplines) whose revenue and expense are tracked separately.
- Employee, vendor, and client records, which you enter through the hubs.
