The Multi Business Entity (MBE) feature provides the capability to create and manage multiple entities within Chargebee.
In many countries, regions, or jurisdictions an invoice is a legal document that has to follow very specific rules. When these entities have extensive legal requirements for invoice presentment or delivery, there is often a local service that will help bridge that gap. Since Chargebee Multientity functionality now supports multiple business entities, the downstream invoicing and taxation capabilities related to multiple business entities are also covered. Invoices generated are mapped to the specific legal entity. The entity-specific billing address and sequencing are generated for invoices.
The user roles define the access level assigned to a user and the configuration permission to update details at a site or entity level. Review the table below to understand better:
| Configuration Permission |
Admin Access | Site Settings |
Entity Settings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Invoices, Credit Notes, and Quotes | Site Admin | Yes | Yes |
| Entity Admin | No | Yes |
Site-level settings are applicable to all business entities by default. Businesses can send Invoices to customers from specific entities. The billed from information will represent the right entity. This will inherit the entity-relationship that is predefined for a customer.
The following are the site-level settings applicable to Invoices:
While Site-level settings apply to all entities, you can choose to define entity-specific configuration too. When you switch from the site configuration to the entity configuration you will land on the same page at the entity level. Else you will be redirected to the dashboard page on entity view.
