R12 limit the user privilage under multi-org situation

Question

Hi
In R12, users needn't change the repsonsibilty to achieve the same transaction for multi-org.i.e. u can do the ou1,ou2....under the same AP responsibility.
while if i want to limit users privilage under this situation, user1 is just limited to the ou1, user2 is just limited to the ou2....how can i relaize it?
Any help will be preciated.

Answer 1

you can achieve this easily...I would suggest go through Documentation atleast once. This Subject is very new.
Here is one senario how can it acheive for AP Invoice Entry
Responsibility: Payables
Navigation: Invoices:Entry > Invoices
On the Invoice Workbench, you can select an Operating Unit, or enter another field, such as PO or Supplier Site, from which the system will default an OU. Your list of available OUs is determined by your multi-org security profile defined in Oracle HR and associated to their responsibility through the MO Security Profile profile option.
How it works....once the application automatically provides the operating unit of new (uncommitted) invoices during entry. The following are methods by which the operating unit is derived:
1)Default Operating Unit from “MO: Default Operating Unit” Profile Option
2)Default Operating Unit from Invoice Batch Header
>>When entering invoice batches, users have the option of establishing a default operating unit for the invoices entered in the batch. This can be overridden at the invoice level as with any other value (Payment Method, for example) entered in the Invoice Batches window.
3)Derive Operating Unit from Transaction Attributes
>>>Oracle Payables will derive the operating unit of an invoice based on certain user entered attributes. If the user chooses a PO (via PO Default or QuickMatch features) or supplier site when the Operating Unit field is empty, the Operating Unit corresponding to the selected value will be populated onto the invoice.
4) Set Operating Unit from Single Operating Unit Security Profile
>>>>> That mean when a user’s security profile contains only one operating unit, it can be said that the user’s operating unit context has been “set” to this operating unit. This value is automatically defaulted to all new invoices and it cannot be overridden.
Hope this make sense.
same is true for other activity like payment , period close.Let me know , in case if you are not clear.
thanks
