| # Overview of enterprise modeling You use the Enterprise Modeling Management module to define, view, and maintain the enterprise structuring data of the following entities that you must previously define in other sessions: Companies, which you define in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session. Internal business partners, which you define in the Business Partners (tccom4100s000) session. Departments, which you define in the Departments (tcmcs0565m000) session. Warehouses, which you define in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session. Projects, which you define in the General Projects (tcmcs0552m000) session and that you further define in Project. When you link the various entities to enterprise units and through the enterprise units, to financial companies, the following rules apply: Each enterprise unit is linked to one logistic company and to one financial company. Each department, warehouse or project is linked to one enterprise unit. The logistic company of the enterprise unit is the operational company of the logistic departments, warehouses and projects linked to the enterprise unit. Each enterprise unit can contain one or more accounting departments. The financial company of the enterprise unit is the operational company of all the accounting departments. Each financial company can have more than one accounting department. You can define the company's default accounting department in the Company Parameters (tfgld0503m000) session, or you can leave the Accounting Department field empty. LN uses the default accounting department: To retrieve the control account from the financial business partner group details. To update the invoice balance. To update the billing request balance. In addition, you can use the Enterprise Modeling Management module to define: Specific goods-transfer relationships between the entities of the enterprise units. The relationships that you define in Enterprise Modeler are the default relationships. For example, you can use the Enterprise Modeling Management module to define specific goods-transfer relationships between sales offices and warehouses, and between work centers. The goods-transfer relationship parameters determine the pricing and the type of financial settlement that LN applies when goods are transferred between the entities. Warehouse clusters that you use for Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) in Enterprise Planning. The time zones that the company uses.
