Master Organization form
The Master Organization form enables you to add and edit an organization and assign it a business role such as line operator, railroad operator, trucking company, or agent. A master organization can have multiple business roles.
For your initial setup, we recommend that you add the standard list of master organizations. For more information, see Set-up Database view (on page 1).
To add or edit a master organization:
In the Id field, enter an ID for the master organization.
After you save an organization, you cannot edit the role or the ID for the organization.
From the Business Role drop-down list, select a business role, such as Line Operator, Agent, or Trucking Company for the master organization.
If the combination of the Id and and the Business Role is unique, you can use the same ID for multiple master organizations.
Specify other optional information for the master organization.
Click Save.
