In Vision, 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, you 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 Info Center.
