Enabling organization structure will work well for your organization, if your organization:

• Have multiple entities within an organization that need to be classified.
• Have multiple entities within an organization that are dependent.
• Have cross reporting structures between entities.
• Needs multiple entities only for payroll processing.
  

If you want to maintain multiple organizations independently, with no dependencies, set up Multi-organization.
