Enterprise units

An enterprise unit is a financially independent part of your organization that includes entities such as departments, work centers, warehouses, and projects. In the enterprise structure, an enterprise unit identifies a financial or a fiscal unit.

The enterprise unit's entities must all belong to the same logistic company, but a logistic company can contain multiple enterprise units. An enterprise unit is linked to a single financial company.

When you carry out logistic transactions between enterprise units, the resulting financial transactions are posted in the financial companies to which each enterprise unit is linked.

To use invoicing and pricing between enterprise units, you must link the enterprise units to internal business partners. You can use enterprise units to perform separate financial accounting for parts of your business.

For example, you can define enterprise units for separate parts of your organization that belong to one logistic company, but that are located in different countries.

The accounting of each enterprise unit is performed in each country's national currency, and in the financial company linked to the enterprise unit.

The intercompany trade relationships and intercompany trade agreements between the enterprise units determine whether intercompany trade is applicable, and if yes, the applicable intercompany trade conditions. See the User Guide for Intercompany Trade (Ucomitrug_US).
