In my opinion there is a reasonable general use case for Manager being able to provide a summary report for a single external physical entity irrespective of how Manager internally handles the various ways a business interacts with the entity.
I thought the thread was useful as it was helping to define the range of ways users are forced to divide up interactions with an external entity, so what functionality would cover most use cases.
Discussions on if an individual would use the feature or not I find less useful because the first post I made links to a long list of threads all with a similar request, so clearly many users would use it. See Customers and Suppliers - #11 by Ealfardan
Personally I would not use it often however I think it addresses requirements of many users so would be of value. Having one of the many threads as an idea would help to group discussions and st least clarify what is actually needed by most users.
- suppliers
- customers
- employees
- expense claim payers
- employees loans
- separation of deposit reporting from accounts receivable/payable
- external division & head office
- multiple addresses of a single external business
