Manage Associated Business Entities

You can associate a business unit to a legal reporting unit. This configuration defines the link between a Legal Reporting Unit and the corresponding Payables Business Unit.

When a collection document is imported through the Validate and Import Collection Document FBDI/ESS job, the application uses this configuration to derive the Payables Business Unit based on Legal Reporting Unit and the Taxpayer ID sent by the bank.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance work area.
2. Select Financials.
3. Select Legal Structures under Functional Areas.
4. Select Show, All Tasks from the tasks menu.
5. Search for Manage Associated Business Entities.
6. Select the scope (Legal Entity/Legal Reporting Unit) and go to the task.
7. Click the plus sign to add an Associated Business Entity and complete these steps:
   1. Select Type as Business Unit.
   2. Select the Payables Business Unit.
      The details related to the selected business entity are displayed.
8. Click Save.
   Note: The Import Brazilian Collection Document feature does not support a shared service organization structure where several business units process payments. Only a single payment business unit can be associated to a legal reporting unit.
