Business relations contain location and contact information for all addresses defined in the system. They also contain tax details that are directly referenced or used as defaults for customers and suppliers.

Business relation codes are generally defined at the database level, but can also be defined at domain level. This lets you maintain all address data in one function, and then reference it in other functions that require address data such as entities, customers, suppliers, and employees. When the business relationship address data is modified, all other codes that reference that address are also updated automatically, reducing time and duplicate maintenance effort.

See Setting Up Business Relations for details.
