Create Organization page (B2B)

Buyer Administrators for a B2B organization can use the Create Organization page to create suborganizations. The Buyer Administrator can also select roles that can be assigned to buyers who belong to the new organization.

A suborganization inherits the following characteristics from the parent organization:

Roles: The roles that display in the Roles section depend on the roles that can be assigned to buyers in the parent organization. To enable more roles in the suborganization, first select the roles as assignable in the parent organization. For more information, see Organization Details page (B2B).
Note: For more information about roles, see Organizational management roles.
Approvals: By default, order approval and buyer approval settings are inherited from the parent organization.
Contracts: Suborganizations inherit contracts from the parent organization. To create a separate contract for the suborganization, contact the Seller Administrator.

JSP files

The page layout is built with widgets that use the Commerce Composer framework to retrieve and display content. However, the page is not managed in the Commerce Composer tool, and not all the widgets are available to Management Center users in the Commerce Composer tool.

OrganizationCreateEdit.jsp represents the entire page.
Note: This JSP file represents both the Create Organization page and Organization details page. The widgets and their properties that are rendered by this JSP file depend on the action that was made on the Organizations and Buyers page. The Edit Organization button forces OrganizationCreateEdit.jsp to use one set of widgets, while the Create Organization button forces OrganizationCreateEdit.jsp to use a different set of widgets or properties.
1 BreadcrumbTrail.jsp* is the top-level JSP file for the Breadcrumb Trail widget, which displays the breadcrumb trail.
2 MyAccountNavigation.jsp is the top-level JSP file for the My Account Navigation widget, which displays the My Account sidebar and its navigational links.
3 OrganizationList.jsp is the top-level JSP file for the Organization List widget, which controls how organizations are displayed.
