Agencies

What is the meaning of agency?

We can understand an Agency as a client, a buyer or a distribution channel. An organization has a set of agencies (at least one).

At the agency level, you can define pricing rules, blacklists, filters, etc. and they will be unique to each agency. What the agencies of the same organization do share are the master of entities and the rules of the organization.

One client of the Distribution-X customer have at least one corresponding agency, but can have more (it depends on the needs, and for example can have 2 to distinguish between B2B and B2C rates).
