Company: Training Guide
The Company functional area is used to configure things that work across multiple functional areas. The main tasks performed include managing the integration queues and configuring setup and configuration files and transaction attributes. The company functional area integrates with all other NorthScope functional areas.

Configuring Attributes

Configuration | The purpose of the Company Currencies List View is to assign the Realized Gain and Realized Loss GL Accounts to all the foreign currencies that are open to the current company. A foreign exchange gain/loss occurs when a company buys and/or sells goods and services in a foreign currency, and that currency fluctuates relative to their home currency. It can create differences in value in the monetary assets and liabilities, which must be recognized periodically until they are ultimately settled. | ||

Setup | The purpose of the Addresses List View is to manage Mailing, Physical, and Remit-To addresses that are associated with a company. These are currently only used on reports so they can be added or removed without any restrictions. One 'Mailing Address' and one 'Physical Address' ID can be assigned to each installed Company by going to System → Configuration → Companies. These defaults are used to print addresses on some reports. | Using Company Addresses | |
