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.
