Enable company members to automatically communicate with all other companies should normally be checked for the master company using Project Insight. This removes any restrictions from this company for seeing other companies to select in reports and for association to a project. For example, the Project Time, Expense & Billing Information tab will display a selection of companies that may be associated to a project. The companies displayed for selection from within the project add/edit form are filtered based on communication allowances for the user entering or editing the project data. As long as the user entering the project belongs to a company that has this communication check box set, that user will always see the list of all companies in the system.

Enable the company to be assigned to a project and subsequently invoiced if this box is not checked, the company cannot be assigned to a project in the Project Add/Edit screen and therefore an invoice cannot be created for this company. Not selecting this setting will mostly be used for internal companies and vendors.
