# Custom Entities

Custom Entity is a new Entity that can be published as a custom projection. Configuring Custom Entities has the same capabilities as creating Custom Logical Units in APPS10.

Custom Entities can be also be a published as a new Custom Projection to be used in Flow by selecting *Create projection* in entity configuration page.&#x20;
