Using the Multiple Organization Support Feature

You can use the Oracle E-Business Suite Multiple Organization Support feature to use multiple ledgers within a single Receivables installation. You can then assign a unique ledger (with its unique calendar, chart of accounts, and ledger currency) to each organization that you define. When you assign responsibilities using function security, you can limit a user to one organization's ledger.

In addition to its original title, the organization name is displayed in the header of reports also.

With the Multiple Organization Support feature, you can segregate transactions by operating unit, yet you can still choose to share certain information (such as customers) between organizations, so the information needs to be entered only once.

You can access multiple operating units from a single responsibility to enter, process, view, and report on data. Receivables can display data within one operating unit or across all operating units.
