Or a business unit typically performs one or many business functions and has a specific place in the organization hierarchy.

Business Unit is going to describe the business functions. What are all the modules we have to use with the particular business unit. For example, whatever we are going to do receiving or we are going to use manufacturing the particular business unit.
A business unit can make process transactions on behalf of many legal entities and post transactions to its own primary ledger.
Segment transactional data from other business units. For example, if you run your Sales business separately from your Marketing business, you segment the Sales business data to prevent access by the Marketing employees. Report on transactions.
