A legal employer is a legal entity that is responsible for employing people in a particular
country. Therefore, if you employ people in a country, then you must have at least one
organization classified as a legal entity and a legal employer.
The Configuration Workbench classifies an organization as a GRE/Legal Entity where your
enterprise operates in a country, and classifies it as an Employer if you employ people in that
country also. For example, you can have a legal entity in a country where you do business,
but do not employ people in that country.
Consolidated Legal Entity
A consolidated legal entity acts on behalf of multiple operating companies that are not legally
registered, or simply on behalf of the enterprise in a country. You typically use the
consolidated legal entity for when you have multiple operating companies in your enterprise,
but for the purposes of consolidation, you group the information into one organization. For
management reporting purposes, the organizations below the consolidated legal entity in an
organization hierarchy, such as, your departments and sections, can report to any
organization in the enterprise. However, for legal reporting purposes, they report up to the
consolidated legal entity.
Operating Company
An operating company represents a division or line of business within your enterprise that is
legally registered for reporting in at least one country. An operating company is a holding
company, a company within a company.

Organization Classifications
Organization classifications define the purpose of an organization and its functionality within
Oracle HRMS. The classifications you assign to an organization control the additional
information you can set up at the organization level. The Configuration Workbench
automatically assigns the appropriate classifications to the organizations it creates.
For more information on the key organization structures you use to represent your enterprise.
You can define one organization with multiple classifications or you can define separate
organizations to represent different types of entity. For example, you can classify an
organization as a legal entity as well as an HR organization if it's the same organization. If
they are different, then you create two organizations.
Note: Oracle HRMS enables you to install your own additional information types for
classifications.
You can select the following classifications in the Organization window, depending on your
legislation:
Organization Classifications
All Legislations
All legislations can use the following classifications:
Business Group: Use this classification to group, manage, and control access to data
in accordance with the rules and reporting requirements of a country.
Operating Company: An operating company represents a division or line of business
within your enterprise that is legally registered for reporting in at least one country.
GRE/Legal Entity: Use this classification to represent the following organizations:
o Ultimate Legal Entity: this represents the enterprise, and typically, the
enterprise is the highest (global) level of a business organization.
o Legal Entity: this represents the designated legal employer for all
employment-related activities. The legal authorities in a country recognize this
organization as a separate employer. In an organization hierarchy, a legal
entity may report to an operating company or to the ultimate legal entity.
o Consolidated Legal Entity: this organization acts on behalf of multiple
operating companies that are not legally registered, or simply on behalf of the
enterprise in a country.
Employer: Use this along with the GRE/Legal Entity classification to define an
organization as a legal entity that is responsible for employing people in a particular
country.
For Chinese users only: Your organization hierarchy must contain at least one GRE
with corporate and employer information. Statutory reporting requires this
information.
For Indian users only: Your organization hierarchy must contain at least one GRE with
income tax, challan bank, tax declaration and representative details. This information
is used for statutory reporting.
HR Organization: Use this classification for all organizations to which you want to
assign employees and contingent workers.
Payee Organization: Use this when defining an external organization that is the
recipient of a third party payment from an employee, for example a court-ordered
payment. You can then select this organization on the Personal Payment Method
window when entering a third party payment method.
Bargaining Association: Use this when defining an organization that is involved in
negotiating a collective agreement. A bargaining association could be any organization
representing the employees in negotiations, for example a trade union. The UK
legislation also enables you to select a bargaining association in the Union Processing
window to set up a union element.
Representative Body: Use this when defining a representative body. This may be a
body defined in legislation, such as a European Works Council, or may be defined by
the employer, such as a Sports and Social Club.
Disability Organization: Use this when defining an external organization with which
employee disabilities are registered.
Medical Service Provider: Use this when defining an organization that provides any
medical services, such as medical assessments, to the people in your enterprise.
Constituency: Use this to define a constituency to group together workers eligible to
vote for particular elections.
Organization Classifications
Company Cost Center: Use this to define organizations in Oracle HRMS that map to
cost centers in Oracle GL. You can set up your application so that whenever a cost
center is defined in GL, a corresponding organization with this classification is defined
automatically.
Professional Body Information: Use this to define an organization that is a
professional body. Organizations with this classification are available to assign to
people in the Qualifications window.
Operating Unit: Use the operating unit organization classification if you also use MultiOrg applications. You can associate an operating unit with an HR Organization. The
application uses the HR Organization to find the operating unit to which a person
belongs.

3. You can enter a short name for the Business Group. This name is no longer used in
Oracle HRMS it is provided for compatibility with earlier releases, where it appeared in
the header line of each form.
4. Select the method of creating identifying numbers for employees, applicants, and
contingent workers. The choices are:
o Automatic number generation.
If you choose the automatic entry method of number generation you can at a
later date decide to switch to global sequencing. Global sequencing enables
you to use a single sequence of person numbers for applicants, employees or
contingent workers across multiple business groups.
You can switch from local automatic numbering to manual numbering for a
person type by editing the business group information and selecting Manual.
Note: If you are using Oracle iRecruitment, ensure to set the applicant
numbering to Automatic.
o
Manual entry.
If you choose the manual entry method of number generation, but at a later
date decide to change to the Automatic method of number generation, you can
run the Change Person Numbering to Automatic process.
Automatic use of the national identifier (for example, the social security
number in the US, and the NI number in the UK). If you choose this option you
must ensure that a national identifier is entered for each new person. This
option is not available for applicants.
Note: For whichever method of number generation you choose, it is important
to be aware that the number is displayed in various windows and reports.
Therefore, if you choose the national identifier method, the person's national
identifier is displayed.
Employee numbering for contingent worker. This option allows you to use the
same sequence of numbers for contingent workers as you use for your
employees. For example, you enter an employee and the application gives the
employee number 101. If the next person entered is a contingent worker they
receive the number 102.
5. Select the names of the key flex field structures you want to use in this Business
Group.
6. Select the appropriate Legislation Code and default currency. The Legislation Code
determines the startup data you can access and the contents of some legislationspecific windows.
o
16
Attention: Selecting the correct legislation code is essential for the correct
functioning of Oracle HRMS. You cannot change the legislation code after entering
employees against the Business Group.
7. US users: To maintain fiscal year balances in Oracle Payroll if your fiscal year is
different from the calendar year, enter the fiscal year start date.
The application does not provide a connection between the fiscal year functionality in
Oracle General Ledger and in Oracle HRMS. In Oracle General Ledger you specify how
the fiscal calendar is broken down in the Accounting Calendar view. Oracle HRMS
calculates a fiscal quarter as a three month period. The application calculates four
equal three month periods beginning from the fiscal year start date.
South African users: You must enter the fiscal year start date for your Business
Group, or you will not be able to define payrolls later.
8. You can enter a Minimum and Maximum Working Age for the Business Group. When you
enter or hire employees, you receive a warning if the person's age is outside this
range.

5. Select a workday calendar. This is required when Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP and
Oracle Supply Chain Planning is installed.
6. Optionally, select a demand class.
Demand classes segregate scheduled demand and production into groups, and allow
you to track and consume those groups independently. Oracle Master Scheduling/MRP
and Oracle Supply Chain Planning uses this demand class during forecast consumption,
and shipment and production relief.
In the Move Order Time-out Period field, enter the maximum number of days a move
order requisition can wait for approval.
The workflow approval process sends a notification to the item planner when a move
order requisition requires approval. After the first time-out period, if the recipient has
not approved or rejected the order, the system sends a reminder notice. After the
second time-out period, the system automatically rejects or approves the order
depending on whether you select Approve automatically or Reject automatically in
the Move Order Time-out Action field.
7. Select a Move Order Time-out Action:
Approve automatically: After the second time-out period, the system automatically
approves move order requisitions. Select this option and set the Move Order Time-out
Period to 0 if you want to bypass the move order approval process and automatically
approve move order requisitions.
Reject automatically: After the second time-out period, the system automatically
rejects move order requisitions.
8. Select a locator control option:
None: Inventory transactions within this organization do not require locator
information.
Prespecified only: Inventory transactions within this organization require a valid,
predefined locator for each item.
Dynamic entry allowed: Inventory transactions within this organization require a
locator for each item. You can choose a valid, predefined locator, or define a locator
dynamically at the time of transaction.
Determined at sub inventory level: Inventory transactions use locator control
information you define at the sub inventory level.
9. Indicate whether to allow quality skipping for inspections.
10. Indicate whether locator aliases must be unique across the organization.
11. Indicate whether to allow negative balances.
29
This parameter determines if inventory transactions can drive the inventory balance of
an item negative.
Attention: If insufficient quantity of on hand material exists in a supply sub inventory
to satisfy back flush demand, Oracle Work in Process forces the supply sub inventory
balance negative, and ignores this option setting.
12. Indicate whether auto delete Allocations are enabled. If you select this check box,
when you delete a source order, or delete or cancel the order line, the system
automatically deletes the associated move order allocations. If you do not select the
check box, when you delete a source order, or delete or cancel the order line, then
the system does not delete the associated allocations lines. You must manually delete
the move order line allocations. If you choose not to delete these lines, the system
transacts these lines as sub inventory transfers, and does not consider the lines as over
picks.
Note: You can enable auto delete allocations only if you do not enable Warehouse
Management for the organization. In a Warehouse Management organization, the
system automatically deletes move order allocations or tasks unless a user starts work
on the task.
13. Indicate whether this is a manufacturing partner organization. This parameter enables
you to use Chargeable Subcontracting. Chargeable Subcontracting is support only for
Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. . If you enable this parameter, then you must set the
Transfer to GL parameter to No. This parameter indicates if an original equipment
manufacturer is a manufacturing partner.
14. Select the Process Manufacturing enabled check box if the organization is a Process
Manufacturing organization. If the organization is a process manufacturing
organization you can use process applications such as Process Execution, Process
Quality, and Process Costing.
15. Check the Warehouse Control System (WCS) to enable the Warehouse Control System.
The Warehouse Control System provides a bridge between Warehouse Management and
the control level for device automation and integration, and the coordination of task
execution.
Note: You can only enable WCS for Warehouse Management organizations.
16. Indicate whether this organization is an Oracle Enterprise Asset Management enabled
Organization.
17. Indicate whether this organization is an Oracle Warehouse Management enabled
organization. You can use Warehouse Management features such as LPNs, task
management, warehouse execution rules, and cost groups in this organization.
18. You must enable locator control in order to enable Warehouse Management. After you
process transactions within the organization, you cannot change the value of this
parameter.
19. Enter a total load weight and unit of measure for this organization.
20. Enter a total volume and unit of measure for this organization.

4. Indicate whether all transactions are posted in detail to the general ledger.
Caution: Transferring detail transaction distributions to the general ledger increases
general ledger posting times due to the number of records created.
5. Indicate whether to reverse encumbrance entry upon receipt in inventory. You
normally select this option if you use encumbrances with Oracle Purchasing.
6. Indicate whether sub inventories can be associated with a given project and task.
If the Project Cost Collection Enabled check box is selected, and the Enable Project
References check box, located in the Project Manufacturing Parameters, is also
selected, the cost collector process can transfer costs to project accounting.
7. Indicate whether to defer logical transactions.
8. Optionally, enter a Cost Cutoff Date.
If you leave this field blank, all available transactions will be costed, as usual. If you
enter a date, all transactions prior to this date will be costed. All transactions on or
later than this date will not be costed. For inter-organization transfers, a standard
costing, receiving organization will not cost a receipt if the sending organization did
not already cost the transaction.
The default time is the first instant of the date. You can optionally choose another
time.
The standard cost update process can be performed on the cost cutoff date. You can
restart cost processing by changing the cutoff date to blank, or a future date.
9. For standard costing, select a material sub-element that this organization uses as a
default when you define item costs. For average costing, the default material subelement you select can be used for cost collection when Project Cost Collection
Enabled is set.
Attention: Since a material sub-element is organization specific you must define the
organization first, then the sub-element, then the organization parameters. When you
first define your parameters you can leave this field blank, save your work, and then
return to this field later to specify a default material sub-element.
10. Optionally, select a Default Material Overhead Sub-Element from the list of values.
During the Supply Chain Rollup process, when costs are merged from another
organization, markup and shipping costs will use this value.
The supply chain cost rollup will complete successfully, regardless of whether this
field is populated. If the Cost Rollup identifies an organization with a default material
overhead sub-element not set up, a corresponding warning message will be printed in
the log file.
11. Indicate the default cost group for the organization. This will default into the Default
Cost Group field for each sub inventory. If the WMS cost group rules engine fails to
32
find a cost group, this cost group will be used. This feature is available if you have
Oracle Warehouse Management installed, and you are working with a WMS enabled
organization
12. Define default Valuation Account details.

10. Enter the total amount of characters for the child lot. This includes the prefix if
applicable.
11. Select Format Validation to ensure that manually entered lots conform to the
predetermined naming convention.
12. Select Copy Lot Attributes to ensure the child lots inherit the parent lot information.
13. Select the desired value for Auto Create Lot UOM Conversion. If set to Yes or User
Confirmation, then the system automatically creates lot-specific unit of measure
conversions. The system bases the conversion on lot quantities that you receive in the
transactional UOM, and creates a conversion between the transactional UOM and the
secondary UOM. The system creates a lot conversion only if the item is under dual unit
of measure control. The available values are:
o Yes
o No
o User Confirmation
o Null
Note: If you enable this parameter, then the system automatically creates lot level
UOM conversions for lots that are created in Inventory and Process Manufacturing. It
does not automatically create lot-level UOM conversions for lots that are created in
Work in Process.
14. Select the desired value for Allow Different Lot Status. This parameter controls what
happens if lot statuses differ when you perform transactions. The values are:
o Yes: You can transfer out of, receive into, or produce material into an existing
lot and the new quantity inherits the status of the existing lot.
o No: You cannot transfer out of, receive into, or produce material into an
existing lot.
o With Exception: You can transfer out of, receive into, or produce material into
an existing lot only if the on-hand balance of the destination organization is
zero.
To define Serial Control parameters:
1. Select the Revision, Lot, Serial tab.
2. Select an option for serial number uniqueness.
Within organization: Enforce unique serial numbers within the current organization.
Within inventory items: Enforce unique serial numbers for inventory items.
Across organizations: Enforce unique serial numbers throughout all organizations.
3. Select an option for serial number generation.
At organization level: Define the starting prefix and serial number information for
items using the information you enter in the following fields of this window.
At item level: Define the starting serial number prefix and the starting serial number
when you define the item.

5. Select a national address style from the list. If a local address style exists for your
country, it is displayed as the default. Otherwise, the international style is displayed.
US and Canadian users: The local style is only displayed if you have Vertex geocode
data installed.
Note: You can change existing address styles or create new ones if required.
6. Enter address information in this window.
US Payroll users: If you change a location address, you need to update the location in
the State Tax Rules window for each assignment at that location.
US Users: In the EEO Exception Report, location addresses are truncated to 115
characters if the combined length of the location code and address lines 1,2, and 3 is
greater than 115 characters.
Canadian Payroll users: You enter Census Metropolitan Area codes here in the
Location Address flexfield.
Dutch users: Ensure you enter house number information for the Notification Social
Insurance (NSI) reports. Use the House Number Addition field if your house number
contains an alpha value. For example, if your house number is 5a, you enter 5 in the
House Number field, and a in the House Number Addition field. See the following topic
for information on the NSI reports.
Note: Dutch users: You must enter the postal code in the following format NNNNAA,
for example, 1234AB.
Irish users: You enter the employer's address here and attach it to the legal employer.
7. If the mailing address of the location differs from the payroll taxation address, you
need to enter an overriding address into the Payroll Tax fields.
8. Select a time zone if you want to associate a time zone with the location.
Note: When you select a time zone, ensure that it corresponds to the location's
address.
9. Fill in information in the Shipping Details tabbed region.

Multi-Org Locations
Note: Selecting the check boxes means that you are making the location Name a valid
location in the list of values on a Purchasing document. For example, selecting Ship-To
Site makes the location Name a valid choice in the list of values for the Ship-To field
on a purchase order header. Note that if you define a default Ship-To or Bill-To
Location in the Supplier-Purchasing region of the Financials Options window for your
organization, that is the location that defaults onto your purchase orders. But if you
wanted to change that default, the location Name that you define here and enable as
a Ship-To or Bill-To site is available in the list of values for you to choose from in the
Ship-To or Bill-To fields.
Contact: Optional contact name for the location Name.
Ship-To Location: Usually the same as the location Name. You could select a separate,
previously defined Ship-To Location-for example, if you wanted to create a location
Name, Office A, and specify Receiving Dock A as its Ship-To Location. Note, however,
that once you specify a separate Ship-To Location, you can no longer enable the
location Name as a Ship-To Site. In this example, Receiving Dock A is the ship-to site
for Office A; therefore, Office A itself cannot also be the ship-to site.
Ship-To Site: Select this option to make the location Name a valid ship-to organization
on a purchase order or requisition.
Receiving Site: Select this option to make the location a valid receiving Location when
creating a receipt or receiving transaction.
57
