Entities List View
- In QuickEasy BOS, an organisation must have at least one registered Entity.
- An organisation may create entities for each of its Sub-entities, Branches, Divisions, Departments, Inventory Locations, or Cost Centres. For example, if an organisation has a head office and four branch offices, it will create five entities so that it can assess the profitability of each branch office, the head office, and the organisation as a whole.
- Entity selections and filters are hidden by default if the database only has one registered Entity.
- A registered Entity can have its own VAT Registration Number.
- The following data can be linked to Entities:
- Static information like Contacts, Customers, Suppliers, and Users.
- Transactions.
- Service Manager entries.
- General Settings and Currencies apply to all the Entities. A database can only have one Local Currency and one set of General Settings.
