| Overview | 
  
    | Business Units provide you with a way to identify users and items with a specific product group, organization unit, etc. for searching or classification purposes.
      Users can be assigned to only one Business Unit; however, you can apply multiple Business Units to an item.

    | Business Units can be assigned to Users, Items, Changes/ECOs, Projects, and CAPA objects.
      When creating or modifying a user (in the Administrator), you can assign a business unit to the user from the User Information dialog box. 
 
   
 When creating or modifying an Item, Change, Project, and/or CAPA object (in Desktop), you can assign a business unit to the item on the General Information page of the form.
 
 
 Business Units can be used as a parameter/condition when defining workflow mappings.
