Active Company

The company that you select at login, or when you switch to a different company, is the active company. The active company is also known as the current company or the current company context.

In general, records belong to the company that is active when the records are created. The active company determines:

• Which company owns transactions.

• Which transaction files are available for you to review, edit, and post.

• The accounts payable vouchers you can review or submit.

• The vendors available for use in accounting applications.

• Which accounts are available for charging.

• Which projects are available for charging.

• The list of currencies enabled, if you use the Multicurrency feature.

When necessary, use the Change Company utility to switch to a different company.

How to Determine Which Company is the Active Company

Vision displays the name of the active company in the title bar at the top of the Vision screen.

In addition, if you are working in an area of the Vision software that is company-specific (for example, the Accounting Company Settings form in Configuration), Vision displays the name of the active company at the top of the form.
