1. Enterprise: At the highest level, an enterprise represents the entire organization.

2. Legal Entity: A legal entity is an organization recognized by a legal system, and it’s often defined by geography or jurisdiction. It could be a corporation, a subsidiary, etc. Legal entities have the right to own property, enter into legal contracts, and do business.

4. Business Unit: A business unit represents a segment of the organization that performs one or many business functions that can be rolled up in a management hierarchy. It’s used for internal reporting.

5. Inventory Organization: An inventory organization represents facilities like warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and sales offices.

6. Cost Center: A cost center is a division that adds to the cost of an organization, but only indirectly adds to its profit.
