Topic overview

This article describes the Occupations application, in which it is possible to specify professional areas of work for employees in a company such as manager, supervisor or worker. Occupations are for information purposes and do not have any functional significance.

The employees of a company are created as partners, just like customers and suppliers. Employees can then be assigned various partner roles. They can have the role of employee, and if they purchase goods, they can also have a customer role.

More information about the Partners application can be found in the article Partners.
