• The total turnover is distributed among several areas of equal importance (e.g. Trade and service)
• The financial accounting export must be separated by more than one area
• One area is B2C and one area is B2B
• There is a point of sale (POS) in addition to the online store (with a separate warehouse)
• There are several online shops
• There are several warehouses, which may not have access to all areas
• There is a precise differentiation of rights for employees in the various Business areas
