Overview of Multi-Organization feature 2
CONTENTS
Multi Org is a feature, which helps us to classify and define various organizations in such a
way that hierarchy is maintained and data is secure across organizations. It also decides how
transactions flow through different organizations and how those organizations interact with
each other.
Business Group
The business group represents a country in which your enterprise operates. You create it as
an organization in Oracle HRMS, but it does not represent a specific organization within your
enterprise structure, and you do not include it in your organization hierarchies. A business
group enables you to group and manage data in accordance with the rules and reporting
requirements of each country, and to control access to data.
The critical factors for deciding when to use a separate business group, or an international
business group, are based on the following factors:
Generally the laws are so different in each country that to be compliant, there must be a
different business group for each country in which an enterprise has employees.
The ultimate legal entity represents the enterprise, and typically, the enterprise is the
highest (global) level of a business organization. The ultimate legal entity is the parent
company or organization for all its subsidiaries and divisions. Oracle HRMS represents the
ultimate legal entity with the GRE/Legal Entity organization classification.
Legal Entity/Employer
A legal entity 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.
Overview of Multi-Organization feature 4
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.
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 7
All Legislations
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 8
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 Multi-
Org 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.
Business groups
External organizations (for example, tax offices, insurance carriers, disability
organizations, benefit carriers, or recruitment agencies)
Internal organizations (for example, departments, sections or cost centers)
GREs/Legal Entities
If you use the Configuration Workbench to configure your enterprise structure, then you
only need to create the additional internal and external organizations you require. For
example, you can set up additional organizations to represent the internal divisions or
departments, and external organizations for reporting or third party payments.
Note: Vision Corporation Business Group will be attached at Site level. Do not change the
information in Vision Corporation Business Group this is the Seeded Data.
Note: Legal Entity and Ledger Sets (Primary Ledger) is already created while defining the
Accounting Setups in Oracle General Ledger. So that IVAS LEGAL ENTITY and Ledger Sets
(IVAS_LEDGER) is picked from Accounting Setups.
1. In the Organization window, query the Business Group if it does not already appear
there. In the Organization Classifications region, select Business Group, choose the
‘Others’ button, and select Business Group Information.
2. Click in a field of the Additional Organization Information window to open the Business
Group Information window.
Business Group Information 16
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.
o 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.
o 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 legislation-
specific windows.
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.
9. Save your work.
2. Click on ‘New’

13. Click on ‘OK’ button
Entering Inventory Information 27
Inventory Information
You create items in the item master organization and assign them to other
organization within your operating unit.
Defining Default Inventory Parameters 29
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.
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.
This parameter determines if inventory transactions can drive the inventory balance of
an item negative.
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.
Defining Costing Information 31
The costing organization that controls the costs in your current organization and the
costing method are displayed. You cannot make changes to these fields.
3. When the Costing Method is Average, you can enter the Average Rates Cost Type.
Defining Costing Information 32
4. Indicate whether all transactions are posted in detail to the general ledger.
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.
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 sub-
element 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
Defining Revision, Lot, Serial, and LPN Parameters 33
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.
Across items: Enforce unique lot numbers for items across all organizations.
User-defined: You can define a lot number for an item when you receive it.
At organization level: The system uses values you enter in the Prefix, Zero Pad Suffix,
and Total Length fields to automatically generate a lot number for an item when you
receive it.
At item level: The system uses the starting lot number prefix and the starting lot
number you define in the item master to automatically generate a lot number for an
item when you receive it.
4. Indicate whether to add zeroes to right-justify the numeric portion of lot numbers
(Zero Pad Suffix).
5. Optionally, select an alphanumeric lot number prefix to use for system-generated lot
numbers when you generate lot numbers at the organization level.
6. Optionally, define the maximum length for lot numbers.
If you use Oracle Work in Process and you set the WIP parameter to default the lot
number based on inventory rules, then WIP validates the length of the lot number
against the length that you enter in this field.
7. Indicate how to generate child lots if you lot control at the organization level. The
available choices are:
o Parent: The system bases the child lot numbers on the same sequence as the
lot number. For example, if a parent lot is P1, then the child lot is P2.
o Parent + Child: The parent lot acts as a prefix, and the system adds the next
available number to form the child lot. For example if the parent lot is P1,
then the child lot is P1-1.
8. Indicate whether to add zeroes to right-justify the numeric portion of lot numbers
(Zero Pad Suffix).
9. Enter an alphanumeric prefix if you set the child lot generation to Parent + Child.
Defining Revision, Lot, Serial, and LPN Parameters 35
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.
Within organization: Enforce unique serial numbers within the current organization.
Within inventory items: Enforce unique serial numbers for inventory items.
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.
Defining ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing Parameters 36
If serial number generation is at the organization level, you must enter a starting
serial number.
6. Indicate whether the system suggests serial numbers as part of the move order line
allocating process. If you do not select this option, you must manually enter the serial
numbers in order to transact the move order.
If you have Oracle Warehouse Management installed, and you are working with a Warehouse
Management enabled organization, you can define LPN Generating Options. To define LPN
generation options:
ATP rules define the options the system uses to calculate the available to promise
quantity of an item. If you are using Oracle Order Management, the default is the ATP
rule for the Master organization.
Picking rules define the priority that Order Management functions use to pick items.
Attention: This rule will not be employed in a WMS enabled organization. The WMS
picking rules will be used.
Defining ATP, Pick, Item-Sourcing Parameters 38
This value indicates the priority with which you pick items from a sub inventory,
relative to another sub inventory, in which a given item resides. The value that you
enter appears as the default when you define a sub inventory.
This value indicates the priority with which you pick items from a locator, relative to
another locator, where a given item resides. The value you that enter appears as the
default when you define a locator.
Attention: A picking order of 1 means that order management functions pick items
from that sub inventory or locator before others with a higher number (such as 2, 3,
and so on).
7. Select the Pick Confirmation Required check box if you want your pickers to manually
pick confirm. If you do not select the check box, then pick confirmation occurs
automatically.
Attention: For Oracle Warehouse Management to dispatch picking tasks to users, this
check box should be deselected in Warehouse Management enabled organizations.
Inventory: Replenish items internally from another sub inventory in the same
organization or another organization.
Supplier: Replenish items externally, from a supplier you specify in Oracle Purchasing.
You must enter a value in this field if you selected Inventory in the Type field.
Defining Inter-Organization Information 39
You must enter a value in this field if you selected your current organization in the
Organization field. You cannot enter a value in this field if you selected Supplier in the
Type field.
Requested value: Enter the discrete value to add when you perform the inter-
organization transfer.
Requested percent: Enter the discrete percentage of the transfer value to add when
you perform the inter-organization transfer.
Note: When you set up accounts the primary ledger restricts the legal entity and
operating unit.
This is the variance that you record at the time you receive an item in inventory, and
is the difference between the purchase order cost and an item's standard cost.
Purchase price variance is calculated as:
4. Enter a general ledger account to accumulate Invoice Price Variance for this
organization. This is usually an expense account.
Invoice price variance is the difference between the purchase order price for an
inventory item and the actual invoice price multiplied by the quantity invoiced. Oracle
Inventory passes this account to Oracle Purchasing when the requisition or purchase
order is created. When Oracle Payables matches and approves the invoice, Oracle
Payables uses the invoice price variance account from the purchase order to record
invoice price variance entries. In addition, if you have exchange rate variances, Oracle
Payables also records invoice price variance for exchange rate gains and losses.
5. Enter a general ledger account to accumulate Inventory Accounts Payable Accrual for
this organization.
This is the account used by Oracle Purchasing to accrue your payable liabilities when
you receive your items. This account represents your uninvoiced receipts and is usually
part of your Accounts Payable Liabilities in the balance sheet. Oracle Payables relieves
this account when the invoice is matched and approved.
When you define your items, this account is defaulted to the item's sales account in
the Invoicing attribute group.
When you define your items, this account is defaulted to the item's cost of goods sold
account in the Costing attribute group.
4. Enter the deferred cogs account. The Deferred COGS account holds the costs until
Receivables recognizes the revenue.
Note: Once work is saved User cannot change the Costing Method in Costing Information

IV.Multi-Org Locations
Locations are shared across Business Groups in HRMS and with two other Oracle applications:
Inventory and Purchasing. HRMS does not use some of the fields in the Location window.
These fields are disabled for HRMS users. For example, the Legal Address check box is read-
only and supports future functionality in Oracle Financials.
Steps:
2. Click on OK
Multi-Org Locations 52
7. Click on OK button
If you are setting up a global location, the location name must be unique across all
Business Groups.
If you are setting up a location for one Business Group, the location name must be
unique within that Business Group and all global locations, but does not have to be
unique across all Business Groups.
Note: You cannot amend the Global check box once you have set up your location.
Multi-Org Locations 56
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.
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.
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.
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.
Multi-Org Locations 58
Office Site: Select this option to indicate that this location Name is an office site, such
as a field office.
Bill-To Site: Select this option to make the location Name a valid bill-to site. The Bill-
To Site, which is used by Payables, is specified on a purchase order header.
Internal Site: Select this option to make the location a valid internal ship-to location
when creating an internal requisition.
EDI Location: If you use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to receive Advance Shipment
Notices (ASNs) or ASNs with billing information (ASBNs), enter a defined location. This
location should match the ship-to location specified on an ASN or ASBN.
11. If you want to use the Extra Information button to enter additional information
required by your business.
