Organizations

The organizations and organization hierarchies of an enterprise are closely interrelated with the policies and procedures of that enterprise. To configure Oracle Projects to meet your business requirements, you must make critical implementation decisions regarding how you set up your organizations in Oracle Projects.

Organizations are departments, sections, divisions, companies, or other organizational units in your enterprise. You can gather collections of organizations into organization hierarchies. Organization hierarchies make it easier to manage expenditure and reporting data and coordinate the project-owning organizations within your enterprise.

For optimum control, consistency, and trend analysis, it is simplest to keep the organization definitions stable. However, in a dynamic business environment, changes to organizations and organization structures are inevitable. When your organization structure changes, it is very important to understand the implications to your Oracle Projects implementation.

You can change the organization hierarchy setup in Oracle Projects to reflect changes to your company's organization hierarchy. To maintain system control and enforce your business rules, it is important to plan and manage the change carefully. To do this, you must understand how organizations and organization hierarchies are used in Oracle Projects.
