I envision the combined entity functionality would work by:
-
having a tab which could be enabled if needed.
-
It would have the ability to define and name groups of contacts (suppliers and customers).
-
Balances for the combined entity would be displayed
-
Transfers across the entity could be done & documented.
The value of the functionality would depend on:
-
how many users have companies who are both suppliers and customers, or companies with multiple divisions for which combined accounts are required
-
And of those users, typically how many such combined entities would be defined
-
If very few users would use this functionality and for very few entities, then the current JE approach would be optimal.
