Accounting entities

An accounting entity is a distinct business unit. If PIM is integrated to an ERP, then the accounting entity ID is used in BODs.

If you set up more than one accounting entity ID, then separate information models and entities are created for each accounting entity ID. Users select the accounting entity ID before creating entity types and entities.

The currently selected accounting entity ID is displayed at the top of the entity type, entity, and import and export forms.

If you set up only one accounting entity ID, then the accounting entity ID is selected automatically. The accounting entity ID is not displayed at the top of any form in PIM.
