Model & monitor your global value chain with Openbravo

As the world continues to "shrink", more companies of all sizes are establishing global value chains consisting of different legal entities that provide goods and services to each other. Such "multi-national" companies can be difficult to manage holistically due to the conflicting requirements imposed by local accounting practices and the need for a harmonized overall financial view.

This feature spotlight discusses several very powerful core Openbravo features that allow multi-national SMBs to easily model and monitor their complex operations in a natural and direct way.

Model - with a hierarchy of organizations

With Openbravo, you model your enterprise as a multi-level hierarchy of "organizations", defining the parent/child relationships and a set of attributes defined by Organization Type, which include Legal Entity with/without Accounting, Business Unit, and Transactions Allowed.

The organizational model enables easy reporting at each level of the hierarchy, and is fully integrated into Openbravo's data security model--allowing you to associate specific roles and organizations to precisely define who has access to what information. Additionally, master file information is specified by organization, allowing you to define which organizations buy/produce/sell which Products, along with which Business Partners each organization transacts with. Here is more information about Openbravo's powerful organizational modeling features.

Monitor - with muti-schema accounting

A fundamental challenge of managing organizations in different countries is that different local accounting rules for each legal entity must be followed, making a consolidated accounting view traditionally difficult to automate. Openbravo fully solves this problem by allowing multiple accounting schemas to be associated with each organization, thus allowing any given transaction to automatically generate multiple accounting representations, each of which can be used for different reporting purposes.

For example, a different Currency, GAAP Standard, or even a set of custom posting logic (in the form of accounting templates) can be applied to each accounting schema. By formally allowing transactions to automatically generate multiple, independent accounting representations, Openbravo can easily support financial and managerial accounting requirements at the corporate, regional, and local levels--all from one powerful, integrated system that is accessed from a multi-lingual, 100% web-based UI. Here is more information about configuring Openbravo accounting.
