Create First Party: Legal Entity and Establishments

This is a required step if you want to use E-Business Tax. If you are using General Ledger, then you will have already defined the Legal Entity and Establishment.

Refer to the following documents:

-          Accounting Setup Manager

-          Legal Entity and Establishment

You need to define the following:

-          Legal Entity

-          Legal Establishments for the Legal Entity

Note that Legal Establishments are setup under a parent Legal Entity.



Click on the ‘Go to Task’ icon. Alternatively you may also navigate as follows:

Legal Entity Manager --> Legal Entity Configurator
