Define Business Units and Assign Business Function, Ledger, and Legal Entity for Subscriptions

A business unit can perform many business functions. A business function represents a business process or an activity that can be performed by people working within a business unit and describes how to use a business unit.

A business unit can process transactions on behalf of many legal entities. For example, a payable invoice has an explicit legal entity field. Your accounts payable department can process supplier invoices on behalf of one or many business units. In some cases, your legal entity is inferred from your business unit that's processing the transaction.
