You can assign operating units to the primary ledger to partition subledger transaction data when multiple operating units perform accounting in the context of one or more legal entities.
If using an accounting setup that has legal entities assigned, the Operating Units step will be displayed. The status for this step will be Not Started.
You can update the Operating Units step at any time from the Accounting Options page.
Additional Information: You do not have to complete this step in order to complete your accounting setup.
Note: If you defined operating units in the Define Organization window in Oracle HRMS, then those operating units will be automatically assigned to the appropriate primary ledger in Accounting Setup Manager.
Additional Information: Multiple Organizations Overview
The following prerequisites are required if you plan to assign operating units to a primary ledger in the Accounting Setup Manager:
Define legal entities and assign them to accounting setups
Complete primary ledger setup steps
Navigate to the Operating Units page.
Click Add Operating Unit to both create and assign an operating unit to the primary ledger.
In the Add Operating Units page, enter the following:
Name: The name of the operating unit
Short Code: The short name of the operating unit
Business Group: The highest level in the organization structure, such as the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or an operation company that secures human resources information
Default Legal Context: One of the legal entities assigned to the accounting setup to act as the default legal context
Alternatively, you can create operating units by clicking Open Organization Form to open the Define Organization window in Oracle HRMS. When you define your operating unit and assign it to a primary ledger and default legal context, you will be able to view the operating unit assignment from Accounting Setup Manager.
Click Apply or Add Another to define and assign multiple operating units.
To mark the Operating Units step complete, click Complete.
Additional Information: Once you add an operating unit to a primary ledger, you cannot remove it. You can prevent the use of that operating unit by not assigning it to a Security Profile in Oracle HRMS.
