Marking a Company as a Legal Entity
The Mark as Entity option is used to identify the companies stored in Conga Contracts that can legally be named as a party to a contract.
In Conga Contracts, companies are divided into two categories: internal and external. Internal companies are all of your legal entities, which include your primary company and any subsidiaries or other entities that have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. An external company refers to the other party that has entered into a contract with your company. The other parties to your contracts can be customers, suppliers, distributors, or vendors. A Company Profile should be created for all internal and external companies, and the Mark as Entity option should be applied to the companies that can legally be named as a party to a contract.
If you erroneously mark as company as a legal entity, you can easily unmark it as a legal entity.
- Open the Company Profile for the company you want to mark as a legal entity.
- In the Company Profile, click Admin Tools in the toolbar, and click the Mark as Entity link in the menu.
- In the Request Complete prompt, click OK.
