An internal company is typically a legally separate company, but can be from an organizational standpoint only. A default internal company is created when you install the System. You should change this information based on your business needs.
Note: When you save an internal company, the System automatically creates a regular company record. You must update this record to add any addresses, telephone numbers, contacts, and so on, that are associated with the internal company. The internal company must be created in Internal Company in order to be used as an internal company. You cannot create an internal company directly in Company.
