Mutli Org Access Control

Basic Business Needs
Oracle Applications provides you with the features you need to satisfy the following basic business needs:
  • Use a single installation of any Oracle Applications product to support any number of organizations, even if those organizations use different ledgers.
  • Support flexible organizational models.
  • Secure access to data so that users can only access relevant information.
  • Access one or more operating units using a single responsibility.



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 ledgers, business groups, legal entities, operating units, or inventory organizations.

Secure Access

You can assign operating units to a security profile and then assign the security profile to responsibilities or users. If multiple operating units are assigned to the security profile, then a user can access data for multiple operating units from a single responsibility.

With the ability to access multiple operating units from a single application responsibility, you can enter setup and transaction data and run concurrent programs for the operating units without switching responsibilities. All multiple organizations enabled setup and transaction data user interface, except some interfaces, include the Operating Unit field. The Operating Unit field in the setup and transaction data user interface allows the user to:
  • Select the operating unit context for a transaction from a list of values, which displays the operating units the user can access.

    Note: The Operating Unit field is displayed across products in Oracle E-Business Suite, such as Receivables, Payables, Purchasing, Order Management, etc.
  • Query setup and transaction data for one or all operating units that the user can access.

    Note: If you do not partition the setup data for multiple organizations, then the operating unit does not appear when you access the setup step.

  • Enable faster data setup or transaction entry by copying a record from one operating unit to a different operating unit.
  • Default or derive the operating unit context from another operating unit sensitive attribute.

Data Security

You can limit users to information relevant to their organization. For example, you can limit access for order administration clerks to sales orders associated exclusively with their sales office.

Profile Options

MO : Operating unit :

This profile option will restrict  the access through responsibility to only one operating unit.

MO: Security profile

This profile option enables the user to get access to one more or more operating unit by defining the security profile with multiple operating units and assigning it to the responsibility

Note: If the MO : security profile is set then the MO: operating unit is ignored.


MO : Default operating unit

This profile option can be set , when you have more than one operating unit attached to a resp. through the security profile , among which you want the particular operating unit defaulted during the transaction entry stages.


HR : User type

This profile option limits the field access on windows shared between Oracle Human resources and other applications

HR: Business group

You associate a business group with a responsibility using this profile, this setting needs to be done for all responsibility

HR : Security profile

If you define  a new business group instead of modifying the predefined Set up business group  , you need to set the HR: Security profile option to point the security profile for the new business group

Difference Between MTS, ATO, MTO ,PTO ,CTO and ETO.

 Make-to-stock (MTS) In MTS environments, products are created before receipt of a customer order. Customer orders are then filled from existing stock, and then those stocks are replenished through production orders. MTS environments have the advantage of decoupling manufacturing processes from customer orders. Theoretically, this enables customer orders to be filled immediately from readily available stock. It also allows the manufacturer to organize production in ways that minimize costly changeovers and other disruptions. However, there are risks associated with placing finished goods into inventory without having a firm customer order or an established need. These risks tend to limit MTS environments to simple, low-variety, or commodity products whose demand can be forecasted readily.  Assemble-to-order (ATO) In ATO environments, products are assembled from components after the receipt of a customer order. The key components in the assembly or finishing process are pla
