Ottimate account structure
Overview
Ottimate accounts are organized under different layers for secure access:
Client Accounts
A client account represents an organization using Ottimate to automate accounts payable processes. An account may serve one or more companies. A client account’s primary key, the account id, is always prefixed with racc_.
Managing Client Accounts
Companies
A company is a distinct accounting entity within a client account. When you provision a client account, you must set up at least one company with its related business information. Each company has its own:
- Chart of accounts
- Vendor list
- Dimensions
A client account can have multiple companies. If a client account has subsidiaries with separate chart of accounts, vendors, and files taxes separately, then they should be set up as separate companies.
