Required Permissions
Settings - All
Business Units are essential for managing security and controlling purchasing permissions within your organization's account. Depending on your operational structure, you may configure one or multiple Business Units to suit your needs.
Creating separate Business Units is recommended when you need to restrict purchasing access to specific users or teams. This setup ensures that only authorized staff can make purchases relevant to their designated area.
If your organization does not require purchasing restrictions or does not have distinct business groupings to reflect, we suggest using Payload Collections instead. Payload Collections are ideal for organizing payloads and customizing billing and shipping settings without enforcing access controls.
Your first default Business Unit and any new Business Units created afterwards require all fields to be filled out in the About Section. Your Business Unit must also be Active for you to invite new users to that Business Unit. A Business Unit's Shipping Preferences are set to use our provided shipping services by default, however you can change them to a different Shipping Configuration/one that you have already created through your Organization page.
If you need to add another Business Unit to your account, you can do so from the Settings page of your organization by simply scrolling to the 'Business Units' heading clicking on the Add button:
Clicking this add button will cause a popup to appear where you must enter the name for your new Business Unit:
After filling out the name and clicking on Create you should be taken to the settings page for your new Business unit, at the top of the page an informative box should appear that will tell you what you still need to do to finish the setup for your Business Unit:
These specific items can be found & filled by clicking on the Edit button next to the Business Unit's name:
Clicking on edit should reveal the Registration Token Field for you to edit:
If your organization is not yet using PO Tracker, the Purchase Order Number field can be found under the 'Business Unit Preferences' heading:
If your organization has started using PO Tracker, you will see a drop-down asking you to select a Purchase order:
