Light's AR works across multiple legal entities. Each sales invoice and contract is associated with one entity, and the AR list and reports can be filtered by entity.
Entity Selection on Documents
Sales invoices: When creating an invoice, an Entity selector is shown alongside the customer. The currency defaults from the customer's most recent issued invoice; if the customer has no issued invoices yet, it falls back to the entity's local currency.
Contracts: The contract creation dialog also requires an Entity to be picked. Currency defaults from the entity.
Customers: Customers are stored at the company level — not pre-assigned to a specific entity. The entity is chosen at document creation time, which means the same customer can be invoiced from multiple entities.
Filtering by Entity
The Sales invoices list filters can narrow results to one or more entities. The same applies to Contracts and Customer credits.
Currency
Each invoice or contract carries its own currency, which can be changed when creating the document. For invoices, the default follows the customer's most recent issued invoice, falling back to the entity's local currency. Multi-currency reporting is handled at the report level (see the Reports module).
Customer Aging Across Entities
The customer aging widget on a customer record aggregates open balances across the entities the customer has been invoiced from.
