Single Item Master across Business Groups

Hi Gurus,
Client wants to implement single item master across the business groups (BG).
Does this require set up of HR Profile for allowing Cross Business groups?
Is there any other setting that needs to be done (in addition to traditional Inv Org definition)?
Appreciate your early response.
Thanks,
Sudarshan

Sudarshan
I think you need to setup Hr security profile only if you are using that. If not you just need to enable the profile value for cross business group. This is required just in case if an employee needs to be picked up in the lov in an item attribute (I don't remember whether there is one) from diff BG.Also move order approvals need to be tested if you are using that feature.
In general I think anything that need to do with employees need to be tested.
Thanks

  • Deployment in Multiple countries, Single Item Master

    Hi,
    We have a Business Group in country A. Item master defined for the same. System is live since last year.
    This year we are planning to implement R12 for country B.
    1. Can we use the same Item Master for country B as well? I read Oracle suggests to use 1 item master only for the ease of maintenance. Both countries A and B have separate Business Groups. So if we intend to use item master of A in B, what should be the setup so that we can view Item master while defining financial options in inventory setups in B. Currently it is not coming under the LOV.
    2. What is an item validation org? How is it different than an Item master.
    Thanks for your time and help beforehand.

    You need to set the profile "HR:Cross Business Group" as "Yes" to get the master org visible across business group.
    The link - http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/use-of-same-master-organization-in-moac-4687847 talks about the same.

  • Supplier data across business groups

    Our business group is currently using only Core HR and there are several contractors/contingent workers in the system. What is the best way to capture the supplier name? Right now, it is captured in some DFF but I want to use the supplier name field in the supplier tab of assignment form. There are other business groups in the same instance for different countries and they are using the purchasing module and have defined suppliers for their use which I am able to see in the list of values for supplier field in my business group.
    I want to suggest our HR folks to start using the supplier field instead of capturing this information in some DFF. Will there be any negative implications of doing this? Is supplier data shared across business groups? If I define suppliers for our business group purposes, will the other business groups be able to see our values?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks

    Hi Ranay,
    Approvals using Position Hierarchy can be used across Business Group. But specific to purchasing module not 100% sure.

  • How to make National Identifier unique across business group

    Hi Everyone,
    We're into R12.1.3 Oracle HRMS
    HR: Make National Identifier Optional = No
    HR: NI Unique Error or Warning = Error
    HR:Cross Business Group = Yes
    HR: Cross BG Duplicate Person Check = Yes
    The idea is to make raise an ERROR whenever user encounter a duplicate national identifier
    Thank You

    Hi Elmer,
    Which legislation code are you running? It should be set to 'I'. Check with
    select application_short_name, legislation_code, status from hr_legislation_installations;
    If it is not set some post install steps may have been missed.

  • Updating Item Master Organization

    Dear All,
    We have two Business Group in US and in Canada. We have defined two Item Master Organization; one for US and the other for Canada. Now we want to convert it into single Item Master Organization.
    What are the implications? Is it advisable? Is there any document on the impact on the existing setups?
    Regards

  • Multiple Item Master Organizations

    We are working on an Oracle Implementation for a large firm in South Korea.
    Our client covers many different industires and operate nationally,
    it is inevitable to use Multi-Organization structure.
    And we are also considering implementing multiple item master organizations
    under one installation of Oracle applications.
    ( Acutally We have 1 Set Of Books, 1 Legal Entity, 13 Operating Units )
    Cause there are much difference between chemical industry and Heavy Industry,
    Our Client says it just has little business impacts with 2 separate item master organizations.
    But According to Oracle documents, Oracle does recommend not to difine
    multiple item masters.
    We are not sure if there could be much functional or technical impacts with multiple item master organizations.
    Cause we have no reference site here in Korea.
    Has anyone been involved in this type of situation before?
    Are there any other points for considerations?
    We would very appreciate hearing from you ASAP.
    Thank you

    I am not sure if i understood everything but I would say go with single item master. Its simple & easily to manage item attribute later on.

  • Relation between item master org and operating Unit

    How single item master org can relate to multiple operating Unit so that items defined at Master Org level can be accessed in other operating units ?

    Hi,
    Item will be accessed in inventory organizations which you assigned the item to.
    To access items from particular Operating Unit in Purchasing module
    define Operating Unit Organization as a Inventory Organization as well.
    Then choose this Organization as a Inventory Organization in Purchasing : Setup>Organizations>Financial Options.
    In Order Management you choose an Operating Unit which items can be accessed.
    Each item assign to Item Master Organization and to Operating Unit Organization and to required Inventory Organizations.
    This works in 11i. I dont know how it is in R12.

    Hi,
    In CFC9, you have three options for material master changes,
    Blank -- No transfer
    1 -- ALE change transfer ( periodic )
    2-- Immediate transfer
    if you are using option 1, you have to run again CFP1

  • Multiple group - single material master data

    Dear friends ,
    I am doing material master data as follows.
    Ex. Water Bottle - Material Group -  may be (Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley).
    means when i will make material master it will become 4 material master with 4 group as bellow.
    1) Water bottel-Aqua
    2 )water bottle-Bislary
    3 )Water bottle-Saiganga
    4) Water bottle-Balley.
    By my requirement is that it should be only one material master code , with facility of 4 material group.
    Whatever i need i will select at the time of PO.
    Regards,
    Mahesh.

    Hi,
    You just go for single material code creation as WATERBOTTLE and then as you needed, you can go for Split Valuation where same material WATERBOTTLE at a plant can have different stock quantity and value for different groupings {(Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley)}
    http://www.sap123.com/a/29/#split-valuation
    OR
    Go for Batch Management where you are just subdividing the material WATERBOTTLE according to the characteristics{(Aqua) or (Bislary) or (Saiganga) or (Balley)}

  • Multiple Cost Allocation Structures in Single Business Group

    We are curently looking at solution design of creating multiple Cost
    allocation flexfield in single business group environment.
    Purpose :
    Based on organization structure (18 companies) , the finance
    consultants proposed multiple COA structures with different
    valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies .
    This was suggested inorder to aviod tedious job of defining
    validations and post production support.
    This has impact on payroll solution design wrt to cost allocation FF ,
    where in we have to define multiple structures to map to Accounting
    FFs.
    Woudl like to check if oracle payroll supports this kind of setups.
    Note :The implementation is for UAE localization.
    Rgds/Lavanya

    If Finance System has multiple COA structures with different valuesets , wherein values sets will be specific to the companies then they will seperating cosing on Various OU Level.
    As my understanding, you have to create multiple Business Group as per multiple COA structures .
    Thanks

  • Single business group Vs. multiple business groups

    Hi,
    I have a case where the user wants to implement Oracle HRMS (Core HR, Payroll, Self Service) in 4 countries. All countries have common procedures but there is some procedures like end of service, Taxation differ from country to another.
    There is some employees have managers in different country. How this will handle in the self service?
    Should I choose a single business group or go with the multiple business groups.

    HI
    If you are going live with one BG and latter you need to convert to a multi Business Group then you need to migrate these data in the current BG to the new BG. this is similar to the Shared HR to Full HR conversion Project
    The thing to be noted if you are live with one BG and trying to convert to Multi BG
    Before you run the Legislation patches for the new BG, you need to create the New Business and complete the Data migration to the new business group and latter you Run the New Legislation patch which will help you reduce the work
    Also you should take care of the Audit, when you migrate the employee to the new BG then the Old records has to be maintained for the Audit
    Also The Legal Entity, Operating Unit and the Inv Org has to be aligned to the New BG
    Since you are implementing now you think of going multi BG now itself..If you need to build the New BG after go live.. you need to come up with solution design Doc and it will be a separate project

    You can use Add'l Salary Admin. Details DFF to capture Currency and its converted Value. Main Salary will be in one basic Currency.

  • Changes to Item Group in Item Master

    I currently have an Item Group in the Item Master set up as "Raw Material". I want to add another item to the group "Raw Material Packaging". I am looking for confirmation that if I set up the GL info the same on "Raw Material Packaging" as "Raw Material" there should not be a negative affect on the financial side or anywhere else.

    Hello Jim,
    If you want to set up a new Item Group exactly similar to the Raw Material Item Group.
    Go to Administration > Setup > Items > Item Groups ....find the Raw Material Item Group...then
    Go to Data Menu on the Top and Click Duplicate....Not Change the name to Raw Material Packaging and click Add
    Now you have Raw Material Packaging Item Group with the same G/L Determination
    Let me know if you have any questions or need clarification
