Hello James, Yes, multiple companies can be setup in OFBiz and independent company management (accounting, ordering, warehousing, procuring, etc) is achievable. Please seem my comments inline.

Following are few entities involved in configuration. 1) Party (Company in internal organization role) 2) PartyAcctgPreferences (Specific to each company) 3) GL setup specific to each company 4) ProductStore setup tied to the specific company 5) Facility (Warehouse) setup for each company. A company could be setup as warehouse owner. > > We can use external reporting to handle the Intercompany consolidation > That should be a good approach. > > My question is does Ofbiz handle this OTB?
