Company Structure

Much of your accounts receivable company structure is dictated by your general ledger company structure. Here are important guidelines to keep in mind:

• Each accounts receivable company must have a corresponding general ledger company.

• You can have multiple general ledger companies, and only one accounts receivable company, but you will never have more accounts receivable companies than you have general ledger companies.

• If you have only one general ledger company, use process levels to further organize your structure. Setting up process levels

  

When you set up a company, you assign a customer group and select processing and entry options. Many of the options you define default to the customer level. You can override these defaults at the individual customer as needed.

Most multiple company setups have only one customer group. Which means that all the companies you do business with are associated with one customer group. If you have different types of businesses and companies do not overlap then setting up multiple customer groups might be preferable.
