# SoftLedger Dimension Overview - Tenants vs. Locations

Distinction between Locations and Tenants, and how Dimensions are used with Tenants

## SoftLedger Tenants

Tenant corresponds with a separate SoftLedger company account. Companies that are distinctly separate, where data such as customer lists should be not shared at all with other companies, belong in their own Tenant.

## SoftLedger Locations

If a company is a piece of a consolidated organization and reporting is required at a level above that company, it most likely makes more sense to treat it as a Location. Locations are typically synonymous with entities within a Tenant and are also journal entry level fields, every journal entry is linked to a Location.

## General Ledger Dimensions

In addition to Locations, SoftLedger includes journal line level general ledger dimensions:

- Ledger accounts
- Cost centers
- Products
- Jobs
- Custom Dimensions (up to 3)
