Use cases
REPBU is a reference entity representing reporting business units - the leaf level of the reporting hierarchy (REPREGION > REPBU). The repregion field is an objectLookup to REPREGION, establishing the parent-child relationship for reporting roll-ups. Unlike the operational hierarchy's BU entity (which uses comboKey chains and sits within ENT > BU > DIV > DEPT), REPBU is a standalone lookup with a simple objectLookup reference, reflecting that reporting structures are typically flatter and more stable than operational org charts. The code field enables mapping to external financial system codes (e.g., SAP company codes or GL segments). Projects, costs, and other financial data can reference REPBU to tag transactions for consolidated reporting that crosses operational boundaries. The simple grid view keeps management straightforward, and the labelleft property on the repregion field positions the label inline for a compact grid editing experience.
