Entity Management
Entities represent your companies or legal entities within Finpilo. Each entity has its own documents, partners, dimensions, document types, and field settings.
Viewing entities
Navigate to Entity Management in the sidebar. The page shows a table of all entities in your workspace with the following columns:
- Display Name — the short name shown throughout the interface.
- Legal Name — the official registered name.
- Registration No. — the company registration number.
- VAT No. — the VAT registration number.
- Created By — who created the entity.
- Created — the creation date and time.
Use the search field to filter entities by name, registration number, or VAT number.
Creating a new entity
Admin or Owner role required.
- Click the Add Entity button in the top-right corner.
- Fill in the entity details:
- Display Name (required) — a short, recognizable name.
- Legal Name — the full legal name.
- Registration Number — the company registration number.
- VAT Number — the VAT registration number.
- Legal Address — the registered address.
- Bank Accounts — type a bank account number and press Enter to add it. You can add multiple accounts.
- Reference ID — an internal reference. If left empty, it is auto-generated (format: ENT-00001).
- Click Save to create the entity.
Editing an entity
Click on any entity in the list to open its detail page. The entity detail page has multiple tabs:
General tab
Shows all entity properties (display name, legal name, registration number, VAT number, address, bank accounts, reference ID). Edit any field and click Save to update.
The General tab also displays:
- Email Processing — a unique email address for this entity (e.g.,
abc123@in.finpilo.com). Forward documents to this address for automatic processing. Click the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard. - Delete Entity — a section at the bottom for permanently deleting the entity. If documents are associated with the entity, you must remove them first. Contact help@finpilo.com to request deletion.
