Organisation Fields

The table below lists the fields of the Organisation form and provides utilisation guidelines for each field.

Field Label Utilisation Guideline
Picture

The Picture field is used to add the organisation’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 organisation.

Disabled

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

Remarks

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

This field allows basic text formatting.

Attachments

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

Business unit

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

Region

The Region field is used to specify which region the organisation belongs to. It is possible to select a previously entered region name or to enter a new one. An internal organisation, 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 organisation

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

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

Financial ID

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

Manager

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

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 organisation instead.

Substitute

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

Order template

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

The End user privacy box is checked when end users from this organisation should be prevented from seeing information of other end users. Organizations with this setting are always marked as external.
