What is a Foundations Company?

The Company object is a core component of FinancialForce Foundations. Other FinancialForce applications use this object and add fields, buttons, and functionality to it.

Foundations subscribes to company information that other FinancialForce applications publish and updates its companies based on this information. For example, when a company is created in FinancialForce Accounting, Accounting publishes that company and Foundations subscribes to it and creates the record in its company object. Similarly, when a company is updated in Accounting, that company is updated in Foundations.

Note: Note Notepad

If your organization uses FinancialForce Accounting, you must continue to update and add company data using the Accounting Company object and not the Foundations Company object.

In FinancialForce Billing Central, the Company object contains the details of your company. This enables you to assign plans, contracts and invoices to business entities in your organization. To use FinancialForce Billing Central, you must be assigned permissions on the Foundations Company object.
