Types of Orgs in Oracle Apps

Six Types of Organizations in Oracle Application:

You can define six types of organizations and the relationships among them.

Set of Books

A financial reporting entity that uses a particular chart of accounts, functional currency, and accounting calendar. Oracle General Ledger secures transaction information (journal entries, balances) by set of books. When you use Oracle General Ledger, you choose a responsibility that specifies a set of books. You then see information for that set of books only.

Business Group

Represents the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or an operation company. Human resources information is secured by business group. For example, when you request a list of employees, you see all employees assigned to the Business Group of which your organization is a part. This is true in all applications except the Human Resources applications themselves, which support more granular security by a lower-level organization unit.

Multiple sets of books can share the same business group if they share the same business group attributes, including Human Resources flexfield structures.

Legal Entity

Represents a legal company for which you prepare fiscal or tax reports. You assign tax identifiers and other legal entity information to this type of organization.

 

Balancing Entity

An entity for which you prepare a balance sheet, represented as a balancing segment value in your accounting flexfield. Each legal entity can have one or more balancing entities. You can use Flexfield Value Security rules to restrict data entry of balancing segment values by legal entity or operating unit.

Operating Unit

An organization that uses Order Entry, Oracle Payables, Oracle Purchasing, or Oracle Receivables. It may be a sales office, a division, or a department. An operating unit is associated with a legal entity. Information is secured by operating unit for these applications; each user sees information only for their operating unit. To run any of these applications, you choose a responsibility associated with an organization classified as an operating unit.

Inventory Organization

An organization for which you track inventory transaction and balances, and/or that manufactures or distributes products. Examples include (but are not limited to) manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and sales offices. The following products secure information by inventory organization: Oracle Inventory, Bills of Material, Engineering, Work in Process, Master Scheduling/MRP, Capacity, and Purchasing receiving functions. To run any of these products, you must choose an organization that has been classified as an inventory organization.

You create sets of books using the Define Set of Books window in Oracle General Ledger. You define all other types of organizations using the Define Organization window.

Oracle Apps Multi-Org Support

Business Needs 

With Oracle Applications Multiple Organization Support feature you can:

      1     Use a single installation of any Oracle Applications product to support any number of organizations, even if those organizations use different sets of books 

      2     Support any number of legal entities within a single installation of Oracle Applications

      3.     Secure access to data so that users can access only the information that is relevant to them

      4.     Sell products from a legal entity that uses one set of books and ship the products from

another legal entity, using a different set of books

      5.     Automatically record intercompany sales by posting intercompany accounts payable and

accounts receivable invoices

      6.     Purchase products through one legal entity and receive them in another legal entity.

Major Features:

Multiple Organizations in a Single Installation

You can define multiple organizations and the relationships among them in a single installation of Oracle Applications. These organizations can be sets of books, business groups, legal entities, operating units, or inventory organizations.

Secure Access

You can assign users to particular organizations. This ensures accurate data transactions to the correct operating unit.

Sell and Ship Products From Different Legal Entities

You can sell from one legal entity and ship from another, posting to each organization’s set of books.

Purchase and Receive Products Between Organizations

You can enter purchase orders and assign for receipt any inventory organization that uses the same set of books.

Automatic Accounting for Internal Requisitions

You can create an internal requisition (sales order) in one organization, then ship from another organization, with accurate intercompany invoicing.

Improved Database Architecture

Beginning with Release 10.6, there is one Applications All Objects Oracle schema, referred to as the APPS schema. You can secure data by implementing the Multiple Organization Support for Oracle Human Resources Functional Overview feature with only one APPS schema, and execute all Oracle Applications out of this APPS schema. This database architecture eliminates problems that can arise with multiple database schemas.

Verify Your Enterprise Structure

After you have implemented the Multiple Organization Support feature, you can execute a report to identify setup problems. The Multiple Organization Setup Validation Report identifies errors and, if you choose, automatically makes adjustments to your enterprise setup.

Automatic Seed Data Replication

The Multiple Organization Support feature will automatically replicate seed data to the new business units you define.

Multiple Organizations in a Single Installation

You can support multiple organizations running any Oracle Applications product with a single installation. When you run any Oracle Applications product, you first choose an organization either implicitly by choosing a responsibility or explicitly in a Choose Organization window. Each window and report then displays information for your organization only.
