Form of organization: main organization.

What is a main organization?

A main organization is an authoritative unit in the fiscal system. It usually represents a holding, a business or a branch office. Main organizations can be created free of charge via the dashboard. Sub-organizations (in the fiskaly system: managed organizations) can be attached to them. Sub-organizations can also be managed via the main organization.

Management of organizations

In the organization management, additional organizations can be created, information can be viewed, switched to live mode, an organization logo can be stored, users can be organized, API keys can be created for the main organization and API keys can be created for the sub-organizations.

A main organization cannot be a sub-organization of another main organization!

User rights in the main organization

Users of the main organization, as well as persons invited to the main organization, have access to all information displayed in the dashboard of the main organization as well as to the information of the attached sub-organization(s) of this main organization. i.e. overview dashboard, TSS number(s), client(s), transactions, exports, integrations etc. are displayed to the users.

Form of organization: sub-organization.

What is a sub-organization?

The sub-organization is dependent on its super-ordinate main organization and can never stand alone. It must always be subordinate to a main organization. Sub-organizations are provided with the badge "managed". They can also be created via the dashboard.

User rights in the sub-organization

Users who are activated for the sub-organization only have access to the information of the respective sub-organization. The users have no insight into the information of the super-ordinate main organization. Within the sub-organization, users have access to the dashboard and all information stored there.

How to create a sub-organization

In the Dashboard, in the menu item Settings > Organisation Management, click on the button Create new organization and select the box Create managed organization. Then specify under which main organization this sub-organization (managed organization) is to be created.

Make sure that the ManagedOrganisation button is selected.

Summary: main & sub-organization

Difference between the main organization and a sub-organization: in the fiscal system, a distinction is made between main organizations and sub-organizations. Sub-organizations are dependent on the main organization. They cannot themselves contain any other sub-organizations. Similarly, the main organization cannot be a sub-organization of another main organization. It is important to know that the user rights of main organizations and sub-organizations differ.

The billing options are set to Withhold Billing for the organizations of the enterprise customer.
