Branch

The term “branch” refers to an organizational division within a company. A branch is typically defined by being part of the same company, but operating in an entirely different location. Branch divisions within a company may have multiple departments operating within them. On Tradogram, each branch can have its own administration team, purchase order numbering system, approval routing configurations, and database directories. The typical use for a branch division on Tradogram is to configure a purchasing process which is largely or entirely separate from the processes used by other branches on the system. For groups of users who frequently issue and interact with documents created by one another, department divisions are a more effective organizational tool. See the definitions for “centralized procurement” and “decentralized procurement” for more information and clarification about organizational methods for procurement processes.
