Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5243:
-------------------------------------

I believe that current functionalities in OFBiz facilitate the wish set forth 
in the title of this issue. I am talking about the multi-tenancy 
functionalities in OFBiz. Which should be suitable for having multiple separate 
legal entities in a multi organisation/multi-currency business setup. 
Specifically regarding the various external reports that legal entities are 
obliged, by law, to produce based on differences in country, accounting setup 
and options.

I also believe that regarding this subject we are talking more about 
organisational reporting aggregation than accounting aggregation. The first is 
easier to achieve than the second. Doing reporting in XBLR and having import 
and export functions would facilitate this. It would definitely alleviate the 
need to create complex transaction processing functionalities that address the 
issues related to inter-entity currencies and issues regarding the time delay 
in and the approval processes of (sending and receiving) legal documents 
between the various legal entities supported and managed with OFBiz.

But this is nothing more than assumption and conjecture without in-dept 
requirements analyses and scoping. If we are to embark on this venture I 
suggest to consult the community to see whether this set of improvements is 
something that is wished for/wanted/needed in OFBiz trunk and invite the 
community to participate in (business) requirements analysis, business-case and 
use-case definition. Which, can then be worked out as tasks related to this 
issue.

> Currently all information related to any company is shown in the system in 
> all components.
> I would like to suggest to show only information related to the current 
> organization and only allow the entry related to the current organization 
> company.
> This concerns but is not limited to quotes, orders, shipments, payments, 
> invoices and ledger.
> This means these documents should have at least the current organization 
> company in either the from- or to-party and should be in the currency of that 
> company.
> We could also make this a configuration option in general properties.
