    Setting up your first company (Master Entity)

    Your first company in Gravity is created as the Master Entity. It establishes database-level settings, including fiscal year and multi-entity configuration, that apply across your Gravity environment.

    3

    Configuring fiscal year and periods

    Define your fiscal year-end date and accounting periods to establish the financial calendar used for transaction processing and reporting in Gravity.

    4

    5

    Designing account structures and dimensions

    Design account segments for your core financial structure and use dimensions to track additional details such as departments, projects, programs or other reporting needs. Together, they provide flexible ways to organize and analyze financial data without overcomplicating your Chart of Accounts.

    6

    8

    Define your base currency and configure the accounts and settings needed for multi-currency transactions and financial reporting across your entities.

    10

    Inventory and default site setup
