Create an Organization

A department is an organization to which you assign workers. It is an organization with one or more operational objectives or responsibilities that exist independently of its manager. You track the department's financial performance through one or more cost centers.

Examples of departments can be Sales, Human Resources, and Research and Development. You can report and keep track of headcount by creating a department hierarchy.
