Organization

Edit online

Defines all of the suppliers of purchased goods and services to your company. An organization might also represent a customer for outbound products.

Suppliers are defined during the initial load of CSV data and are maintained on an ongoing basis by uploading data to object storage. The full set of primary and secondary entities for the Organization object are defined in the data dictionary.

You can use the sample CSV files for loading data for the Organization object during onboarding. For more information, see Sample files.

Providing a contact for your supplier is important so that you can collaborate with the supplier. Table 1 describes the fields of the Organization object that are configured during onboarding.
