Company management
Company management helps merchant administrators streamline administration and management of B2B organizations with complex operational models.
From the Admin, users with appropriate permissions can build a Company Hierarchy that reflects the organizational structure of a business enterprise comprised of multiple companies. This hierarchy allows them to view and manage companies as a group. For example, the administrator can designate a parent company, and assign all companies that operate as subsidiaries of the parent company. Then, the parent company administrator can view and manage company accounts for all assigned companies.

Services for Adobe Commerce
Services for Adobe Commerce are hosted services that provide extended capabilities to Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source. Services that support B2B workflows are:
Shared catalogs
Shared catalogs are the pricing levels that allow setting custom prices per product for different companies on one or multiple websites. By using shared catalogs, you can sell products by applying different pricing levels for different customer groups. Support for Shared catalogs is available only for Commerce stores configured to support Company accounts.
For more information, see Working with Shared Catalogs.
Quick Order
Configure Quick Order to reduce the order process to several clicks for logged in customers when they know the product name or SKU of the products they want to order.
For more information, see Quick Orders.
Negotiable Quotes
Use the Quotes feature to initiate price negotiation between a company buyer and seller.
-
An authorized buyer can initiate a quote from the shopping cart.
-
A seller can initiate a quote for a buyer from Admin.
Buyers and sellers use the quote to manage the negotiation process–such as adding items, updating quantities, requesting and applying discounts—until they reach an agreement. The Quotes grid in the Admin lists each quote received, and maintains a history of the communication between buyer and seller.
Support for Negotiable Quotes is available only for Commerce stores configured to support Company accounts.
For more information, see Negotiable Quotes.
Purchase order approvals
When Purchase Orders are activated for a company account, all orders are automatically created as Purchase Orders (PO). Company users with the required permissions can create, edit, and delete POs that they create and POs created by subordinate users. Depending on their role, and the order, company users could be subjected to several approval rules.
For more information, see Purchase Orders for Companies.
Requisition lists
Customers can use requisition list to save time when purchasing frequently ordered products because they can add items to the shopping cart directly from the list. They can maintain multiple lists that focus on products from different vendors, buyers, teams, campaigns, or anything else that streamlines their workflow.
For more information, see Requisition Lists.
