Legal-Entities & Business-Establishments Relationships Diagram

The structure of an organization is represented through several objects.
1

Legal-Entity

A legal-entity is an entity that has legal rights and responsibilities. They belong to a country and as such are subject to its jurisdiction.
2

Business-Establishment

A business-establishment belongs to a single legal-entity and represents an operating unit where business is conducted, goods are made or stored or processed or where services are rendered. It can be an office, a factory, an assembly plant, a retail store, a warehouse, etc…
This is the essential building block in regards to access rights management. Consequently, most objects are attached, either directly or indirectly, to a business-establishment.
3

Department

A department (coming soon) represents a functional grouping of employees. It may be child to another department. As such, departments are a tree-like structure. Departments have no relationships with business-establishments nor legal-entities, and can thus be used to represent a matrix organizational structure.
Please note creating legal-entities and business-establishments may affect your billing.
