Internal entities and Partners


Article summary

There is a partner dialer in the application for managing all partners and internal entities. The difference between Internal Entity and Partner is in the settings option where you add the partner option that it is an internal entity, therefore the company that runs your application. Internal entities are then offered, for example, as a customer in the Purchase Orders module or in the Invoices Received module, as a supplier in the Invoices Issued module (i.e. the company from which the invoices are issued). There can be more than one internal entity, especially in cases where there is a holding company or where the companies are somehow linked to each other. The list of internal entities and the option to create an internal entity (Partner that will already have the Internal entity option selected in the settings) can be found in Administration menu > Users, roles and groups > Internal entities.

If you already have your company in the system and it does not have the Internal entity option in the settings, do not create it again via Administration menu > Internal entities, you would create a duplication. In this case, just track down your company in the partner overview and edit its settings to add the Internal Entity option. You need to output the partner overview to the left menu as a link to the form 5503: Partner Overview (partner_list.aspx).

Overview

In the overview you will find all the companies that are established in the application. You can filter:

  • Agenda - possibility to filter by agenda.
