Organization Structure in R12.
Business Group:
A business group is the highest
level classification in the organization hierarchy of the Oracle E-Business
Suite. It may correspond to an entire enterprise or to a major
grouping such as a subsidiary or operating division.
For a
fresh installation, Oracle Applications provides a predefined business group,
Setup Business Group. We can setup additional Business groups as
required for the defined Organization Structure.
By
Using a Single responsibility security model, more than one business group can
be accessed from single responsibility.
Profile
option HR User type should be set against each responsibility which will use
HRMS Tables and get access to define organization Window.
Profile
Options HR Security Profile should be set before creating any Organizations (Other
than Business Group) for all responsibilities.
Ledger and Legal Entity:
Legal entities are formally the
entities that actually enter into transactions. Individual legal entities own
the assets of the enterprise, record sales and pay taxes on those sales, make
purchases and incur expenses, and make other transactions.
The Ledger represents an accounting
representation for an organization that is accountable in a self-contained way.
A ledger provides balanced ledger accounting for the accounting entity and
serves as the repository of financial information
Detailed transaction information is
captured in the sub ledgers and periodically posted (in summary or detail form)
to the ledger.

Operating Units:
An operating unit organization
defines the Purchasing, Order Entry, Accounts Payable and Accounts
Receivable level of operation. An operating unit may span multiple
manufacturing facilities, distribution points and sales offices, or it may
be limited to a single site.
Inventory Organizations:
The Inventory Organization
represents an organization for which you track inventory transactions and
balances. These organizations might be manufacturing or distribution centers.
Several modules and functions in the Oracle Manufacturing and Supply Chain
Management suite secure information by Inventory Organization
Locations:
A location
code is an address. Each organization must be assigned at least one
location code.
Sub Inventories:
A sub inventory is used as a
holding point for on-hand inventory. This is a Logical partition of
an Inventory .Sub inventories are defined within inventory organizations.
Stock Locators:
Stock locators represents physical locations
within a sub inventory. if
locators are defined to represent a shelf within a stockroom, on-hand balances
on the system would show the item and quantity down
to the physical location within the facility.
Limitations
with Stock Locators:
Only one locator flex field
definition is allowed per install.
1.If a sub inventory wants to track material by
row, bin and shelf, it will likely define a three-segment flex field with segments
for row, bin, and shelf. If locators are desired for another sub inventory,
even in another organization, the structure will again be 3 segments
for row, bin and shelf.
2.Locators must be unique within an
organization.
