Group Organization Structure

PPM allows the parent company to define the organizational structure of the group in multiple levels. For example,

Each organization will have its own currency, calendar, announcement, budget & expenditure, client list, supplier list, product list, contracts, purchase orders, timesheets, expense reports, warehouse & inventory, invoice from supplier, account payable, fixed assets and report information. Each organization will also have its own approval flows or inherit approval flows from its parent for the types of items mentioned above.

Global and Local Policies & Rules

PPM allows setting global policies and rules that every organization must comply with and local policies and rules that a subsidiary or a group of subsidiaries must comply with.

Global and Local Budget Control

PPM allows you to set global budget and control for the entire group and local budget and control for each subsidiary. Budget can be allocated from a parent company to its subsidiaries or divisions and actual costs can be aggregated up from subsidiaries to a parent. The budget allocation and actual aggregation can be done at each level within the group organization structure.
