Business Applications for different business unit

[Mitch23]

Business Applications have a number of OOTB attributes. What is the recommendation for the same business application used by different departments? Do you append the "Name" (or use a field such as "Business Unit" or "Department" and then have multiple Business Applications

Salesforce - Finance

Salesforce - HR

Or do these represent Application Services (iterations for the Salesforce Business Application).

There is probably guidance somewhere but I am drawing a blank.

Thank you

You can use the department field pointing to a cmn_department.

Ex:

Salesforce HR

Salesforce International

[vkachineni]

OOTB Business unit and department are being used.

Wouldn't the standard approach be to have a single 'Salesforce' Business Application and then multiple department specific 'Salesforce' Application Services that map to it?

Following CSDM, consumption of the "services" of a Business Application are represented in the Sell/Consume Domain.  So the Usage would be via consumers of the Business Services/Offerings that are "provided" by the Application Service(s).  You would only create separate Application Services if there are truly separate "deployments" or "instances".   Do HR and Finance actually have their own separate subscription to Salesforce?  If not, then there is only one Application Service.
