Overview

Multiple Entities

Gravity was developed as a robust multi-entity platform, enabling organizations to efficiently handle transactions and reporting across multiple entities. With its advanced multi-entity capabilities, Gravity empowers you to effortlessly manage your operations.

  • Create Journal Entries across entities
  • Share Expenses across entities
  • Apply Cash Receipts across entities
  • Consolidate financial reports
  • Consolidate operational reports
  • Share common structures
    • Charts of Accounts
    • Vendors
    • Customers
    • Dimensions
    • Terms and other items

In Gravity by default an Entity corresponds to a company. In certain organizations an entity can represent a fund or other self balancing structure. The Relationship of the inter-entity accounts is maintained in the Multi-Entity Maintenance table under Gravity's System Settings.

Security for each user starts at the Entity level. When users are established in Gravity they can be assigned to the entities they will have access to. They will only be able to have access to the entities they have been assigned to.

Access Criteria

Master records can be assigned to one or more Entities.

Options are:

  • All - All Entities have access to the record
  • One - Only the Entity where the record was created has access to the record
  • Selected Entities - Users can select the Entities that have access to the record
  • Entity Group - Entities in the selected Entity Group will have Access to the record, See Entity Group

Note: When a record is created it will be owned by the Entity where it was created. That Entity cannot be removed from the record by changing the access criteria.
