Purchasing concerns while merging operating units

Hi all,
Can any body please guide regarding the concerned entities of Purchasing while merging two operating units?
Regards,
Abdul Rehman.

Hi Abdul,
While merging 2 OU, the following purchasing entities you should review as per opinion.
(1) Items of old OU should be created/assigened to merged OU, if it is not exists in merged OU.
(2) Similary , Suppliers of old OU should be created to merged OU, if it is not exists in merged OU.
(3) You should go for the redesign Posiition hierarchy and PO approval limit groups.
(4) New Payment terms should be require to create, if it is new for merged OU.
(5) Creation of new buyers are required.

Import Purchase Requisitions from one Operating Unit to a different Operati

The need is to import Purchase Requisitions from one Operating Unit to a different Operating Unit.
There are 2 operating unit with one inventory orgs in each. But the 1st is OU( It is a club) merely creates Purchase Requisition, and its not a advisable process to have a separate Purchasing process in that OU as it is too small ( but for financial reasons it has to be defined as a separate OU). So we want the Purchase Requisitions created in the 1st OU to be imported in the 2nd OU. Is there any way we can achieve this. Note: Since Order Management is not implemented we cant use the Internal customer setup and we wont like the PO to be created in the 1st OU as we do in standard Intercompany invoicing process.
Any solutions/Pointers/workaround for this.
Regards,
Manoj

As long as you have the same master org in the 2 operating units, all you have to do is
INSERT INTO mtl_system_items_interface
            (organization_code, segment1, transaction_type, set_process_id, process_flag)
   (SELECT '&new_Org', msi.segment1, 'CREATE', 100, 1
      FROM mtl_system_items_b msi
     WHERE organization_id = &old)And run the Import Items request.
Hope this helps,

Merge Operating Units

Hi
Does anybody know how to Merge two operating units in EBS R12 ?
Thanks in Advance
Karbi

I believe this is possible - it is not a trivial exercise. You will need to engage a consulting organization (Oracle or third-party, which has done these kinds of merges before) to do this.

Why Would iTunes turn me off and not allow me to Purchase Content while outside the United States?

I have been living outside of the USA for 7-months. I have been purchasing and viewing content that is stored in my iCloud again without any issues. Today, while attempting to purchase a movie I received an error message saying that I need to contact Support. I chatted with a rather robotic Support Representative and after a 10 minute review of my account he stated 'all looks good on my end' then, he asked me to hold on for an additional few minutes and said that he could not tell me the reason why my account was 'frozen' but referred me to the iTunes terms and conditions. I repeatidly asked what was wrong and he refused to answer me. After a heated back and forth he referred me to Paragraph B in the terms and conditions and it states that content can only be used while in the USA or its possessions or territories. I told the chat rep that I live in two countries and was curious how I would fix this situation. The rep was mum and would not reply to me.
Does anyone have any feedback? I am unsure what the big deal is. I am paying for content and simply viewing it while traveling. Why would Apple insist on such a requirement in this very global world we live in.

They are part of the US store's terms (terms that you have agreed to) :
The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
(Other countries terms will be similar)
It's like that at the requirement of the content providers, they want control over where their content is available - each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store. That applies to both buying new content and redownloading past purchases.
Have you not got a copy of all of your downloads on a backup ? There is no guarantee that any item will remain in the store for redownloading (you are only guaranteed one download of any item), a rights-holder could remove an item from the store at any time.

1 PO for several Operating Units

Hello
Is it possible to create 1 Purchase order for several Operating Units? How can I achieve this?
Thanks.

A std. PO cannot be created for multiple operating units.
However, Oracle allows you to create a Global blanket PO by checking the "GLOBAL" checkbox on the PO header.
Hope this helps

Centralized purchasing operating unit in drop shipment cycle

Hi all,
In multiple operating units, is there a way to use drop shipment cycle with a central Purchasing Operating Unit?
I mean creating sales order in OU 1, Importing Purchase Requisition and auto create Purchase Order in OU 2(Central Purchasing OU), and receiving in OU 1, then shipping from OU 1
Thanks for all,

Consider this progression for your scenario:

Are you sure Inter-org transfers will work for One OU to other??

Supplier Merge across operating units

Hi,
Anyone point me in the right direction if any, on how to merge a supplier across operating units.
The problem we have is that we have an employee who was a supplier in the UK operating unit and then transferred to the US. When he submitted expenses in the US operating unit it created another supplier.
Hope this makes sense.
Regards
Luke

hi
1. Yes this wont create any Intercompany Invoice
2. Do you have different Item Master Orgs for different OUs?
As a best Practice/recommended Practice it is better to have one Single Item Master in an Instance.
But if the Item is assigned in both the Orgs as well as the Item Validation Orgs in the respective OUs it should work.

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.

Use ar_receipt_api_pub create_cash API across multiple oper units

Hi,
I have a requirement to create AR receipts across multiple operating units and I am using the AR_RECEIPT_API_PUB's create_cash() to do that. The APIs work fine and I can create receipt in oper unit A. But when I changed to a different operating unit B and call the API, it terminated with NO_DATA_FOUND error.
If I run my same code with operating unit B and then oper unit A, it created receipts in oper unit B but returned NO_DATA_FOUND in oper unit A. That way I confirmed there is no set-up issues with both oper units.
I tried following 4 different ways to switch to different operating unit but all resulted in NO_DATA_FOUND:
1) mo_global.init('AR');
2) mo_global.init('AR'); fnd_client_info.set_org_context(&org_id>);
3) mo_global.init('AR'); mo_global.set_policy_context('M', &org_id) ;
4) mo_global.init('AR'); mo_global.set_policy_context('S', &org_id) ; (My EBS set-up has multi oper units, but I tried 'S' flag because of lack of ideas)
Please help. Thanks!
Mike.

@MikeLi,
Did you find any solution for this problem? We are facing this problem on R12 while creating AR receipts across multiple operating units. We will be glad if you share the solution. We have tried all possible ways; but did not help. When we look at the mo_glob_org_access_tmp ; we have access to all organizations; but the api returns 'no data found'
Thanks.

R12 Allowing reporting across operating units

How can we enable Multiple Organizations Reporting feature for a custom report.
For example: I can run Purchase Price Variance Report from a single responsibility by choosing the 'Operating Unit' from my drop down since MOAC is configured.
I am trying to enable the same feature for my custom report. Although this report is my CUSTOM_TOP and registered as a custom application program.
I would appreciate any pointers in this regard.
Thanks,

Pl see if MOS Doc 420787.1 (Oracle Applications Multiple Organizations Access Control for Custom Code) can help you

How to set operating unit for FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST

Hi,
This may sound like an elimentary question but I am facing trouble while submitting PRC Transaction Import (PAXTRXTR) from PL/SQL. The concurrent request is created but it errors out as the operating unit field on the request id blank eventhough I have used mo_global.set_policy_context in below code. Since PAXTRXTR has multi_org_category set to S it expects a org_id while submitting.
Can you figure out what is going wrong here.
Following is the code I use
DECLARE
l_request_id NUMBER;
v_msg varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
fnd_global.apps_initialize(43313,20433,275);
mo_global.init('PA');
mo_global.set_policy_context('S',1);
dbms_output.put_line(mo_global.get_current_org_id);
l_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request( 'PA'
,'PAXTRTRX'
,null,null,false
,'Unaccounted Web ADI'
,'test1'
if l_request_id = 0 then
FND_MESSAGE.RETRIEVE(MSGOUT => v_msg);
dbms_output.put_line(v_msg);
else
commit;
dbms_output.put_line(l_request_id);
END IF;
END;
Thanks,
Bhavesh

What is the output you are getting after running the above code from backend?
fnd_global.apps_initialize(43313,20433,275); is sufficient why do you want to set Policy context manually??

New Operating Unit creation - GL or HRMS

Dears,
Please i ve a great doubt, please advice which is right approach....
Using General Ledger -Accounting Setup manager under Primary ledger there is a option to create new Operating unit by attaching LE and BG.
If i do so i get new OU and my other sub modules in Financials(AP,AR,CM.FA) are operational ...
using HRMS - organization i can designate any Company organization as Operating unit,so that New operating unit would be created this way also.
Kindly advice which is the best way to create new Operating Unit...
and also in Projects implementation setup ...starting organization LOV represent OU from HRMS or org Hierarchy...
Kindly clarify...
Thanks a lot n advance...

I create 3 OUs this using GL > Accounting Setup Manager ... under the primary Ledger (by attaching LE and BG).....but I am not able to find/search that in HR under Work structures > Organization > Description. Although it is available in the LOV while defining the profile option "MO: Operating Unit" ....and it is present in the Database table '*hr_all_organization_units*' too with the 'Type' column as empty (ideally it should be 'OU').
It makes me feel that in any case I would have to create the OU in HR as a mandatory setup!....am I correct?
