Actor setup in Sapera is a feature that lets you configure and control how actors (such as customers, suppliers and other business partners) relate to different organizational units. This setup ensures that actors are correctly linked to specific departments or locations within the organization, enabling more precise management of data, resources and transactions.
In actor setup, you can define the level of actor division. This can, for example, be used to separate actors across departments such as "Head office", "Aarhus", and "Copenhagen". The setting lets you determine which actors are visible and available for each organizational unit, creating a clear hierarchy and improving data management. The feature is especially useful for larger companies with multiple locations or departments, where actors need to be handled individually.
1. From Financial, go to "Setup".
