We have a customer that is acquiring several new entities.  What is the advantage of adding them as a company versus a branch in Acumatica?  Are there any problematic implementation issues with one or the other?

Hi @lori00 

If those new entities would be considered as belonging to an existing company, then normally you would configure them as a branch.  If they are siblings to your existing company, then they normally would be configured as additional companies.

Hope this helps!
