==Creating an Organization Hierarchy==
 
The same technique is always used when creating a new organization:
 
 
 
* Click the organization that you wish to be the "'''parent'''" (one level up) of the organization you want to create - '''Parent Organization'''.
 
 
 
* Click the '''New Organization''' tab.
 
 
 
* The basic details of the new company will be checked to ensure the company does not already exist. This feature is particularly useful when adding external companies.
 
 
 
* The '''New Office''' will be created “'''below'''” the existing organization in the [[Organization Hierarchy|organization hierarchy]].
 
 
 
In this example, you will create an organization below the root organization.
 
 
 
1. Click the '''Root Company''' link.
 
 
 
The [[User|users]] are displayed at the bottom of the organization details.
 
 
 
2. Click the '''New''', '''Company''' [[Menu|menu]].
 
 
 
==Company Duplicate Check Window==
 
The '''Quick Entry for Duplication Check''' window is displayed.
 
 
 
1. Enter a new '''Company Name'''.

If the new company name matches an existing company you will be prompted to either use the existing record, create a new record, merge the records, or delete the extra records.
 
 
 
2. Click the '''Submit''' button.
 
 
 
The '''New Company''' window is displayed as there is no possible duplicate record.

==Standard Organization Fields==
 
The standard fields used to describe the organization are:
 
 
 
* '''Name''' - Name of account.
 
 
 
* '''Address''' - Street address for this account.
 
 
 
* '''Address 2''' - Second line of address – if required.
 
 
 
* '''City''' - City address.
 
 
 
* '''State/Province''' - State or province portion of billing address.
 
 
 
* '''Country''' - Country portion of address. You select the country from within the combo box. The default country will be the same as the user’s country.
 
 
 
* '''Zip/Postal Code''' - Zip or postal code portion of billing address.
 
 
 
* '''Phone''' - Account's primary phone number.
 
 
 
* '''Fax''' - Account's primary fax number.
 
 
 
* '''Web Site''' - Organization website address.
 
 
 
* '''NAIC Codes''' The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). (If enabled)
 
 
 
* '''Parent Branch''' - If this account is in an [[Organization Hierarchy|organization hierarchy]], then use the name of the higher-level account.
 
 
 
* '''Owner ''' - Assigned owner of account.
 
 
 
* '''Last Updated By''' - The name of the person that last updated the account information.
 
 
 
* '''Last Modified Date''' - The date and time the account information was last modified.
 
 
 
A default contact field will also be displayed once you have saved the organization details.
 
 
 
This field links a specific person to an organization to provide a general contact point in that organization. For the root organization, the contact is automatically set to the original {{GUA}}.
 
 
 
You can only set this value after you have added people to this organization.
 
 
 
==Organization “Ownership”==
 
If you intend to assign specific [[Internal|internal]] staff to “manage” an organization you will need to assign the appropriate “owner” to each organization.
 
 
 
Each sub-account (division, business unit or branch) in the same organization can have a different owner.
 
 
 
If you need to assign multiple [[Internal|internal]] staff to work with an organization, you can use the [[Associations|associations]] feature to associate multiple [[Internal|internal]] contacts with a single account.
 
 
 
1. Complete the '''Organization''' details.
 
 
 
2. Click the '''Save''' button.
 
 
 
The organization record is displayed.
