Organization Fields

The table below lists the fields of the Organization form and provides utilization guidelines for each field.

Field Label Utilization Guideline
Picture

The Picture field is used to add the organization’s logo, or a picture of the main office building.

Click on the picture to enlarge it or to change it.

Name

The Name field is used to enter the full name of the organization.

Disabled

The Disabled box is checked when the organization may no longer be related to other records.

Remarks

The Remarks field is used to add any additional information about the organization that might prove useful.

This field allows basic text formatting.

Attachments

The Attach file… link is used to attach a file to the organization. Multiple attachments can be added to an organization.

Business unit

The Business unit box is checked when the organization needs to be treated as a separate entity from a reporting perspective. This checkbox is available only for internal organizations.

Region

The Region field is used to specify which region the organization belongs to. It is possible to select a previously entered region name or to enter a new one. An internal organization, which is not itself a business unit, inherts the region of the business unit of which it is a descendent.

Examples of commonly used region names are:

  • Asia Pacific (APAC)
  • Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA)
  • North America (NA)
Parent organization

The Parent organization field is used to select the organization’s parent organization.

It is not possible to select an organization that is already selected as one of the organization’s child organizations or is a child organization somewhere lower in the organizational hierarchy.

Financial ID

The Financial ID field is used to enter the unique identifier by which the organization is known in the financial system that is integrated with the Xurrent account in which the organization is opened.

Manager

The Manager field is used to select the manager of the organization.

This field is used by Xurrent to look up the approver of an approval task when it is being generated based on a task template in which the Requester’s manager box is checked. When the Manager field of the requester’s Person record is empty, or when it contains a disabled person, then Xurrent will use the person selected in the Manager field of the requester’s organization instead.

Substitute

The Substitute field is used to select the person who acts as the substitute of the organization’s manager.

Order template

The Order template field is used to select the request template that relates this organization with the Xurrent Shop.
