Example: Multisite configuration with separate general ledger accounts

You can create two organizations that share a company set but maintain separate item sets. This example illustrates a way to reflect the structure of your enterprise with sites, organizations, and sets.

Your enterprise has two distinct business operations: a utilities operation and a fleet of vehicles. Both are run from a central location in Denver, Colorado, and both use the same list of vendors. Each operation has its own general ledger accounts.

The utilities operation also has a facility in Laramie, Wyoming. All operations and locations use the same vendors, although the utilities and fleet operations maintain different items and storerooms.

You can accommodate your enterprise structure by doing the following:
