Multi-entity accounts payable means running supplier bills for several companies, each with its own books, from one team.
What CloudSuite Industrial does on its own
CloudSuite Industrial is multi site. Vendors can be shared across sites, the Multi-Site Vendors form maintains them from a master site and the Voucher Builder creates vouchers in many sites. Entities can hold consolidated ledgers for sites that report to them.
- Multi-site, not a separate-ledger group view
What you need in CloudSuite Industrial
- Multi-site installation
- Infor CloudSuiteEntity module licence for entity users
- Replication Rules for the Voucher Builder category
