Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Business Partner Organization is a process window in iDempiere used to change or verify which Organization owns a Business Partner and its related records, such as locations, contacts, and bank accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is used during multi-organization setup, business restructuring, or data cleanup, whenever a Business Partner was created under the wrong Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reassigning ownership changes which Organization can view, report on, and process transactions for the affected Business Partners, so it directly affects data visibility and reporting accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Organization is a mandatory field before the process can run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  • Records already owned by the selected Organization are left unchanged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The process can run immediately or be scheduled using Run as Job.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The result log shows how many records were updated per related table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Step 1: Select the Target Organization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      The Organization field defines which Organization will own the selected Business Partners once the process runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
      Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Click the Organization field and choose the destination Organization from the list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
        Organization<\/td>HQ Organization<\/td>Organization that will own the reassigned records<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        Step 2: Choose the Reassignment Scope<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        The scope decides whether the change applies to a whole Business Partner Group or to one Business Partner only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Select a Business Partner Group to update all partners in that group, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Select a single Business Partner to update only that record.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
          Business Partner Group<\/td>Customer<\/td>Reassigns every Business Partner in the selected group<\/td><\/tr>
          Business Partner<\/td>C&W Metal Products<\/td>Reassigns only the selected Business Partner<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          Step 3: Decide How the Process Should Run<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          Run as Job lets large reassignments run in the background instead of holding up the user session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
          Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Leave Run as Job unchecked to run the process immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Check Run as Job to schedule the process as a background job for large groups.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
            Run as Job<\/td>Unchecked<\/td>Runs the process immediately in the current session<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            Step 4: Run the Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            Running the process applies the Organization change to the Business Partner and its related records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
            Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Click OK to execute the reassignment, or Cancel to close without making changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              Step 5: Review the Result Log<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              The result log confirms how many records were actually updated for each related table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
              Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Check the result grid for the updated count next to each entity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
                Business Partner<\/td>0<\/td>Number of Business Partner records reassigned<\/td><\/tr>
                Accounting Schema<\/td>0<\/td>Number of Customer, Vendor, or Employee accounting records reassigned<\/td><\/tr>
