Setting your Current Company

This step is not necessary in a single-company organization. The only company automatically becomes a user's current company when you create their user company record.

The name of your current companyThe company in which you are working. This is represented by the company queue to which you, and new instances of objects you create, are assigned. is displayed on the sidebarColumn, usually appearing on the left side of each page, providing links to recent items and other resources. The sidebar is collapsible if your administrator has enabled this option. of the home page. To enter data into the application you must be in single-company modeState in which the current user has only one current company selected. Data entry is enabled..

If more than one company is set as your current company, you are in multi-company modeState in which the current user has more than one current company selected. Data entry is disabled until the user returns to single-company mode. Enable multi-company mode when you want to generate reports that contain data from more than one company.. It's possible to see Multi-company Mode in the sidebar.

Note: Note

If you cannot see the current company in your sidebar, ask your System Administrator to check that the FinancialForce Company component is included in the home page layout assigned to your user profile. The supplied FinancialForce home page layout includes this component by default.

To change your current company in a multi-company environment:

Click the Select Company tab to display the select company page. A list of your accessible companiesA list of one or more active companies to which a user has access. is displayed.
Set the Current checkbox on the row that represents the company (or companies) in which you want to work. If you want to work in single-company mode, select only one checkbox.
Click Save.
Click the Home tab to see that the change of company or mode has been applied.

Warning:

Do not change the current company while a batch job is being processed. The only time you can switch companies while a batch job is running is if you have System Administrator permissions and the related batch job is included on the Disable Select Company Validation List custom setting. See Accounting Settings for more details.
