Configuration and settings of the group structure
Within Onventis you have the possibility to map your group structures in a multi-account scenario. With this scenario, each subgroup is assigned its own Onventis client = sub-account (SA).
The group structure builds on existing Onventis properties. You can inherit various master data from the head account to the sub-accounts. This means that group suppliers can be controlled centrally and made available to relevant subgroups.
From the head account you can pass on central alerts and their templates to sub-accounts and maintain them centrally. Material groups can be inherited from the head account to the sub-accounts. You supplement the sub-account-specific data with group-wide data.
Purchase orders, requirement items and approvals of a sub-account can be made accessible in the head-account according to the user permissions. The sub-accounts that the user is allowed to access appear in a drop-down list, e.g. in the menu of the order overview.
Mapping the multi-account scenario gives you the following advantages:
Mapping of an entire group structure with the possibility of legal separation of the individual subgroups from each other
Group-wide support and administration of sub-accounts
Central user management
Central management of catalogues (supplier catalogues and own) with the possibility of defining group-wide conditions or sub-account-specific conditions
Central material group management
Central supplier management
Central eSourcing
Central Analytics
If a subgroup is spun off or sold, it can continue to operate Onventis completely independently.
This results in the following additional advantages for the sub-accounts:
Completely self-sufficient business process handling due to own clients
Backend-specific interface configuration to stand-alone ERPs (e.g. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics AX or NAV, etc.)
Individual data storage and management
Sub-account-specific suppliers
Mapping of backend-specific creditors incl. Consolidation of the vendor in the head account
Sub-account-specific order transfer and order processing with main account suppliers
Sub-account-specific approval workflows
Benefit from group-wide advantages
Use of group suppliers
Use of group-wide conditions for creditors
Use of central catalogues
In order to use the features of data exchange and interaction between the head account and the sub-accounts, you must first make various settings in Onventis.
