Multi-company versus single company setup

Purchase Control can be configured to cater for a single company’s purchasing or alternatively to cater for the purchasing of a group of affiliated companies. While in a single company setup, a company is divided into departments, in a multi-company setup there a number of companies (one of which is the primary company from which the others inherit certain details) with each company then being subdivided into departments or business units. With a multi-company setup, each of the different companies (even though they share the same Purchase Control account) can send out purchase orders with potentially different branding, corporate and billing information on them e.g. different company names, logos and billing addresses.
