Multiple orgainzation with legal entity?

Dear all,
When I define organizations in purchasing, what are the differences between organization with "GRE / Legal Entity" and organization with "Inventory Organization" & "Operating Unit"?
I have read the oracle documents and I still very confuse all these words?
Does anyone tell me what are the difference?
Best Regards,
Amy

Set of Books. A General Ledger SOB, linked to the inventory organization,
controls the financial accounting of inventory transactions. A SOB is made up
of a chart of accounts, a financial calendar, and a currency. The general
ledger secures transactions (journal entries, balances) by SOB.
Legal Entity. A legal entity organization defines the tax and fiscal reporting
level. The legal entity represents the legal company.
Operating Unit. An operating unit organization defines the Purchasing, Order
Entry, Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable level of operation. An operating
unit may span multiple manufacturing facilities, distribution points and sales
offices, or it may be limited to a single site.
Inventory Organization. Two flavors of inventory organizations are found in
Oracle Applications. They are defined the same, and both are assigned a set
of books, a legal entity organization, an operating unit organization, and a
location. An item master organization is used for item number maintenance and
validation. This master organization serves as a data repository storing items
and item attributes, master level categories and category sets, master level
cross references, and numerous data defaults. On-hand balances, inventory
movements, and other on-going inventory activities are not performed in an item
master organization. Generally, the master organization is used as the
validation organization for Purchasing and Order Entry. It is recommended
that a single item master organization be defined, even in multiple organization,
multiple sets of books environments.

Seeding multiple databases with single Entity Framework context

I am developing a single-instance, multi-tenant web application, with a SQL database using Entity Framework 6 Code-First.
I want to have a separate database for each client, generated from the same EF models, with a single DbContext. The database to connect to will be determined by the subdomain that the client is using the web app from.
This seems to work fine and the correct database is connected to depending on the subdomain. However my issue is seeding the databases with data. This is the code I have:
foreach (var connString in ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings.Cast<ConnectionStringSettings>()))
Configuration.PerformDatabaseMigration(connString.Name);
This then calls the PerformDatabaseMigration method:
public class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<DataContext>
public Configuration()
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false;
AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = false;
public static void PerformDatabaseMigration(string connStringName)
var databaseInitialiser = new Configuration { TargetDatabase = new DbConnectionInfo(connStringName) };
var dbMigrator = new DbMigrator(databaseInitialiser);
dbMigrator.Update();
protected override void Seed(DataContext context)
base.Seed(context);
var superAdmin = new User { Id = 1, UserName = "SuperAdmin" };
context.Users.AddOrUpdate(superAdmin);
The issue is that when seeding this data for the second database, the context passed into the Seed method already has the admin user added to the `DbSet<User>` property of the context, even though the context is for the second databse connection, not
the first. It appears that the context is not being cleared from seeding the first database, and so I receive a `DbUpdateException`, as my User.Username field is a unique index.
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.Users' with unique index 'IX_UserName'. The duplicate key value is (SuperAdmin).\r\nThe statement has been terminated.
public class User : ModelBase, IUserIdentity, IPrincipal, IIdentity
[Index(IsUnique = true)]
[Required]
[StringLength(40)]
public string UserName { get; set; }

Hello Attune,
>>This seems to work fine and the correct database is connected to depending on the subdomain. However my issue is seeding the databases with data.
Is that you firstly create these databases and then call the PerformDatabaseMigration method to seed these database with data? Do you have a try to seed these database data when creating the database with AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true; with your provided
configuration class, I tested it and it could work as seeding same data to different database:
internal sealed class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration<CFs.CFContext>
public Configuration()
AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = true;
public static void PerformDatabaseMigration(string connStringName)
var databaseInitialiser = new Configuration { TargetDatabase = new DbConnectionInfo(connStringName) };
var dbMigrator = new DbMigrator(databaseInitialiser);
dbMigrator.Update();
protected override void Seed(CFs.CFContext context)
base.Seed(context);
var superAdmin = new ApplicationUser() { ApplicationUserID = 1, FirstName = "", LastName = "" };
context.ApplicationUsers.AddOrUpdate(superAdmin);

Multiple Financial Accounting Company Codes but only 1 Legal Entity

Hi all,
We are implementing various countries payrolls, which includes posting to general ledger.
We have a situation whereby there are many company codes for financial accounting purpose (local term calls them company code / sector). These separate company codes need to be differentiated in posting documents.
For most countries we are able to have many company codes but 1 legal entity (for e.g 1 tax reference number, and company details for statutory reporting for various company codes). But for Malaysia, this is not allowed.
I understand that commonly that Company Code in SAP should be legal entity. But there are many companies who practises different external financial reporting that have 1 legal entity separated in different sector for GL / financial reporting purpose.
My question is:
1. How can we set multiple company codes, but with 1 legal entity details (e.g. Tax Reference Number, Legal Entity Company Name and Address for Statutory reporting) for Malaysia?
2. If this is not possibe, how can we split up the GL file (or at least have different separation in the same file to show the different company codes)? It does't seem that Personnel Area or Personnel Area is picked up by PC00_M99_CIPE (payroll posting). Where can we store this besides Business Area field for individual employees (as this field is already used to distinguish another internal GL reporting, e.g. for Indirect / Direct Employee).
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
A client can either be valid for a company code at the smallest level, or the entire
corporate group.
The company code is defined in financial accounting. The balance
sheet and profit and loss statements are drawn up at the company code level.
The personnel area, which is only used in Personnel Administration, is unique in each
client. You must assign each personnel area to a company code.
You also use the personnel subarea only in Personnel Administration and it is the smallest element of
the enterprise structure. You link the groupings that define the entries to be used for
employees of a particular company code/personnel area to the personnel subarea.
I understand your question ,
question 1 is belong to FICO quesion , as a HR counsultant you have only way:
one way set your multiple company as HR personnel area level ,then make those personnel area belong to the company that with 1 legal entity details ,
another way is set your multiple company as a company have company code at SAP , then posting to each company ,then let FICO department to adjust subsequent account.
hope can help you

First Party Legal Entity link with Fiscal Classification Type Code- R12

Hello Team
We are working on one of the dimension on E- Tax (BI Apps).
As part of the dimension we need to identify the Legal entity and the linked Fiscal Classification Type Code (Associated Fiscal Classifications) to it. This we are able to see from the application with the following navigation.
Parties: Party Tax Profiles > Party Tax Profiles > Query with the First Party Legal Entity.
Now would seek your help from the technical perspective. How is this linkage happens between Legal Entity and Fiscal Classification Type Code (Associated Fiscal Classifications to it)? We have verified few tables and there is no link available.
If possible provide us the Join Conditions.

Hello Hansen,
I found this note on My Support:
"R12. EBTax. How to Differentiate Tax Rate Code for Payables and Receivables Transactions in Tax Classification Code LOV (List of Values). [ID 756985.1]
Tax Classification Code LOV ( List of Values) is showing all tax rates created in EBTax. You need to choose your tax rate code in the list of values on tax classification code in Payables or Receivables. How do you differentiate the Tax Rate Code for Payables and Receivables transactions in the Tax Classification Code LOV?
*Solution*
Please note that in R12, there is a centralized tax engine. Tax set up made in EBTax will be and can be applicable to both Payables and Receivables. Any tax rate created in EBTax, will be available as a Tax Classification Code LOV in both these applications. It cannot be restricted and it is the intended functionality.
If Payables and Receivables exist with unique operating units then the MOAC security settings can be used to restrict the LOV. Additionally if EBTax is configured propertly the tax classification codes will not be used for tax determination except in exception based scenarios. Please see the case study in *Note 577996.1* for examples
I just setup ebTax using tax codes for AR and AR and, by the moment, the tax codes from both modules are shared on the LOV. We used a convention for the code naming...but I'm will be looking note 577996.1

"This organization could not be verified as a legal entity." with correct, verified information.

Trying to sign up our company in the iOS Developer Program. I filled out all the information correctly but still receive the error "This organization could not be verified as a legal entity.".
I even used Apple's pop-out window to look up my company and find our D-U-N-S NUMBER:069013226
Additionally, I have verified all the other information is correct on DnB.com
What can I do to correct this error and enroll my company into the iOS Developer Program?
Thanks,
Matt

I did not see anything about faxing information to them. Purhaps because I chose this option? :
"Yes, I am the owner/founder and have the legal authority to sign and bind my company to Apple Developer Program legal agreements and contracts."

What is a Legal Entity and Operating Unit??

Hi,
Could someone let me know what exactly is a Legal Entity and Operating Unit. The definition or explanation in the documentation is not satisfactory or clear. What are the differences between the above.
And where in the per_all_assignments_f table is the Legal entity stored. I know that the Legal entity is stored in the Statutory information in the assignments screen. Also can someone let me how based on the company code in the organization the legal entity is linked. Where in the tables is this link maintained?
Could someone let me know the above.
Thanks
Shekar.

Dear Shekar
what exactly is a Legal Entity and Operating Unit?
ANS: According the Book or user guide definitions says:
GRE/Legal Entity: Use this classification to represent the following organizations:
Ultimate Legal Entity: this represents the enterprise, and typically, the enterprise is the highest (global) level of a business organization.
Legal Entity: this represents the designated legal employer for all employment-related activities. The legal authorities in a country recognize this organization as a separate employer. In an organization hierarchy, a legal entity may report to an operating company or to the ultimate legal entity.
Consolidated Legal Entity: this organization acts on behalf of multiple operating companies that are not legally registered, or simply on behalf of the enterprise in a country.
See Shekar the Legal Entity is taken under Classification is we know that the organization is going to show the Taxation to the Government. where as if u take typical UAE countruies here every store is an LLC and they submit the taxing for every store or shop.
Where as Operating Unit is generally used for the different lines of business which are under that Business GRoup
Say for an Example:
ABC is the Company name and that has its root in UAE, Qatar and Oman
then it is like ABC Business Group > UAE Legal Entity > REtail/Property/Furniture etc are the Operating Units.
Hope this information is helpful and clear to you or else let me know if you have any concerns.
Coming to the Company Code we use the code for the Inventory Organizations so that the clients will not get confused with the existing code and the system code so generally we use the same codes for it.

One Legal entity two company code - pros & cons

Hi SAP GURUS,
We are having one legal entity with multiple products. I want each plant to be a profit center. But i am loosing plant wise profitability when we are transferring the same product from different plants, in a common depot. This is because we are not having batch & hence profitabilty for plant is lost when it is sent to depot for sale.
In this case I am thinking to go for two company code. One manufacturing & Other selling. What will be the pros & cons in this case.
Thanks
CHEERS

Yes ! kishore You are obsolutly correct !
Hi Nitin,
As per my understanding your issue seems profit cannot be determined while sending goods sending plant to another palnt. For that SAP suggested to use Transfer pricing in Prrofit centre accouting & your valuation must be profit centre valuation not company code to get internal reports.

Legal Entity wise AP invoice approval workflow

HI All,
I m in the process of configuring AP Invoice approval workflow for multiple legal entities. Can someone pls instruct me how to set up different workflows for different legal entities.
My requirement is as follows:
Legal Entity A
If User Test 1 create AP Invoice then his invoice should go to approver1
Legal Entity B
If User Test 2 create AP Invoice then his invoice should go to approver2
I have done the set up for one legal entity and its working fine. I have used action type as " approval-group chain of authority" and used Approver type as HR People and assigned relevant approver to it. My problem is how can i segregate legal entity wise approvers. Because now both legal entities invoices are directing to same approver.
Thanks .

Balancing Segment Value assignment to Legal Entity using Account Setup Mgr

Hello,
This is on r12.06
By mistake- I did not assign BSV at Legal Entity level, insteady I directly assigned at Ledger level. Now, I am getting following error when running "Accounting Program" standard program
The subledger journal entry contains lines with balancing segment values that are not assigned to any legal entity. Unassigned balancing segments cannot be used to balance a subledger journal entry with balancing segments already assigned to a legal entity. Either update the balancing segment value assignments for the ledger ADP/Claims Solutions Group or update the balancing segment values used on the subledger journal entry Upon research, It was discovered that that the Balancing segment is assigned only at ledger level and it is not assigned at Legal Entity level in account setup manager.
When I attempted to assign the BSV at LE level, it is not showing the BSV in list of values.
I even end dated BS at ledger level and tried again but still the concerned BSV is not showing up in LOV at Legal entity level.
Now I am completely stuck. Any idea what am I missing? Why, the new BSV is not showing up at LE level LOV when attempting to assign BSV at LE level?
Thank you for reading this post in advance.
Regards,
R

Once a BSV is assigned to the ledger it does not appear in the LOV of BSV-LE assignment field. Pl see if you can delete the BSV from ledger assignment, then only you can re-assign to LE. In my opinion, it allows you to delete the BSV from ledger level if you have not already used it in transactions. In your case, I wonder if it will allow you to delete it. If not, you have to raise SR with Oracle support.
Thanks

How to handle multiple tables data in Entity Beans?

How to handle multiple tables data in Entity Beans?
i mean, my bean (non trivial) is responsible for frequent
insertion in one table and some deletion on another table.
Can anyone of you...please..?

Is your data model right? If you are adding in one and deleting in another it sounds to me more like a process that an entity, in which case you may revisit your data model and simplify it, add in a session bean with the process method to co-ordinate between the two.
However, if you want to map multiple different tables within a single entity bean it is possible and just part of the mapping. How you actualyl specify it depends on which implementation you are working with.

Legal Entity and Operating Unit Setup

Hi,
we are in a process of implementing Oracle Financials R12.1.3 to a group of company (Ex:"A").
That parent company ("A") associates with another three subsidiaries (Ex: A1, A2 and A3). All these four companies can share the same ledger and operating in one country.
So I'm with bit confusion whether It can use One Legal Entity with four operating units or do we have to create four legal entities?
Awaiting for clarifications and Thanks / Lathika

Hi All,
You have to think beyond application functionality, if there these 3 subsidiaries are registered with different name under local governance law then you should create separate Legal entity for each company or subsidiary.

OPM R12 - Changing Fiscal Policy of a Legal Entity.

Hi,
Can anyone share the effects of the following scenarios,
1. Changing 'Valuation Method' in Fiscal Policy of a Legal Entity after some periods (From STND to PPAC/PWAC/PMAC)
2.Is it possible to have organizations with different costing methods (STND, PPAC, PMAC) under a single L.E. On what valuation will the accounting entries get generated?

Can the country code of a legal entity be changed?

We have a business situation where we need to transfer 100% ownership of a company from one wholly owned sub to a new wholly owned sub in a different country. This wholly owned sub is a large transaction volume and greater than 250,000 item/BOMs. Our question is can we simply change the current Legal Entity's name, address and country to the new company and country? We would create a new entity to handle the wind down and liquidation of the current wholly owned sub. If this is possible, it would save us the work is setting up the new entity, inventory orgs, etc. and the conversion of POs, invoices, items, BOMs, inventory, etc.

Hi Sandeep and thanks for your quick response.
Our business problem is that this entity is very high volume pertaining to open purchase orders and invetory transactions. In essense the business stays exactly the same, the only change is that it will move to another country with an ownership change. We want the current R12 ledger, company and inventory orgs to stay the same. If the new entity cannot assume the current structure, we have a huge setup and conversion task to make the change.
Again thanks for your quick response.

Currency Code of a Legal Entity - R12

Hi,
I need to find out the currency code for a Legal Entity in a R12 instance
Based on what I have read and from e-TRM, I have written the following queries:
select gsb.currency_code
from hr_operating_units hou,
       xle_entity_profiles xep,
       gl_ledgers gsb
where hou.default_legal_context_id = xep.legal_entity_id
   and hou.set_of_books_id = gsb.ledger_id
   and xep.legal_entity_id = 9999;
select currency_code
from gl_ledger_le_v
where legal_entity_id=9999
   and ledger_category_code='PRIMARY';Which of these two is more accurate or is there some other way in which I can obtain the Legal Entity currency?
Thanks,
Sujoy
Closing this thread as there have been no answers. I went with the second query.
