Business Unit and Business Unit Group

A Business Unit represents a single entity in your organization, such as an individual store. A Business Unit Group is a collection of Business Units.

  • Business Unit: Represents a single store and its attributes.
  • Business Unit Group: Represents a node containing one or more Business Units in a hierarchy.

When assigning master data, only the group hierarchy is considered. Even if data is for a single Business Unit, it is assigned to the relevant node in the group hierarchy.

Assigning data to a higher-level group node propagates it to all subordinate Business Units.

For more, see the Business Unit API documentation. After creating Business Units, include the Business Unit Group ID in most entity payloads (can be a Group or Unit ID).
