Headquarters overview

The Headquarters (HQ) module holds shared setup used across Vista companies: company records, groups, payment terms, tax codes, compliance, reviewers, and related reference data. Set many of these once and share them instead of repeating setup per company.

Typical flow

  1. Create companies in HQ Company Setup and assign groups (vendors, materials, tax codes, and so on).
  2. Configure shared codes: payment terms, units of measure, frequency codes, hold codes, and tax codes.
  3. Set up compliance, reviewers, materials, and contacts as your modules require.
  4. Use HQ Batch Control when a batch is stuck or you need posted-batch attachments.

Before you use HQ

  • Each legal entity has its own company number.
  • Live and test companies never share the same group numbers.
