Summary
The Organization Maintenance window is used to create and maintain organizations. An organization is a user-defined code used to describe the organizational structure of a business. A few examples of organization types would be Corporation, Sole Proprietorship or LLC Partnership.
Organizations can be attached to businesses using the Business Maintenance window (BT> Maintenance> Business> Open a business> General tab> Organization field).
