Multi Organization

The ability to define multiple organizations and the relationships among them within a single installation of Oracle Applications is called multi organization. Multi Organization is the future used to store the data of multiple organizations in a single Database.

The main components of the multi organization are
1) Business Group (BG)
2) Legacy Entity
3) Set Of Books (SOB)
4) Operating Units or Divisions
5) Organizations

Business Group (BG): The business group represents the highest level in the organization structure, such as the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or an Operation Company. A BG is used to secure human resources information like generation of employee numbers, generation of applicants, position flex fields, Job flex fields, Grade Flex field, Fiscal year, etc.

Legacy Entity: It is a legal business, which is going to have its own legislation code or tax registration number. At this level we are going to prepare all our financial statements.

Set Of Books (SOB): A SOB is a collection of Currency, Calendar and Chart of Accounts (COA). Oracle General Ledger is used to secure Journal transactions (such as journal entries and balances) of a company by set of books. For each organization of the Business Group we need to define a set of Book.

Operation Unit: An operating unit is a division or a Business unit of the legal entity. At this level we are going to maintain the information of sub-ledgers. We are going to maintain the ledgers at Legal Entity level. Receivable, Payables, Assets, etc. are comes under Operation Unit level.

Organization: The different types of organizations are Inventory Organization, Asset Organization, Human Resource Organization, etc. These organizations are going to be maintained at operating unit level.

Note: In case if we are working with single organization we can define an entity as a Business Group, Legal Entity, Operating Unit and Organizations.

The individual Accounts (i.e. Application Receivables) of an organization (i.e. Tata Motors) of multi organization (Tata Group) are identified by
First by Module then Responsibility then Profile Option then Set of Books.

In the above example Data will be secured for every organization by using Set Of Books ID.
The following are the tables are going to be effected for all the Organizations of multi organization.

To record the sales transactions of all the organizations will be stored in the AR_TRANSACTION_ALL table. Extra columns required to identify the individual sales transactions are Set_Of_Books_ID, Org_ID (Operating Unit) and Organization_ID (Business Group)
