Team,
Here's what I think
could be a good way to define our concept of an entity
"An
entity is any legal or functional component of a business or an organization.
Examples of legal
entities may include the entire organization, divisions within an
organization, roles such as buyer, seller etc... while
functional entities could be
specific departments within a legal entity like accounting department or human
resources. This is
different from the UN/CEFACT definition of a business entity which
is defined in the UMM specification as "the subject of Business Collaboration Activities that have independent
identity" or a
concept representing the data that is shared in the collaborative domain between
two trading partners.Examples of UN/CEFACT business entities could be purchase
orders, trade-items etc."
Hope this is self-explanatory,
please let me know if you want any part of this text
changed.
thank
you
