Responsibilities

You can set up separate business units even if you don't need them for processing. For example, one department in an organization may be responsible for a particular group of suppliers, or particular types of vouchers, and you might want a separate business unit for that department. Alternatively, you might group certain types of suppliers for analytical reasons, even though the suppliers' payables are processed in the same way as other suppliers' payables. Or you might want to maintain control and balances at a lower level than the entire organization level.
