R12 Mutli Org and MOAC

What is Multi-Org:
--------------------
•Multi-Org is a server-side (applications and database) enhancement that enables single installation of Oracle Applications.
•Multi-Org keeps transaction data and some setup data separate and secure by different lines of business.
Business needs:
-----------------
The Multi-Org enhancement provides features that enable you to:
•Support multiple business units even if they use different ledgers
•Secure access to data on a single instance by line of business
•Define different organizational models
•Sell and ship from different legal entities
•Procure and receive from different legal entities
•Produce reports across entities or within a single entity


Types of Organizations supported in Multi-Org Model:
---------------------------------------------------------
Business Group :
- HR

Leger:
- GL, FA

GRE/Legal Entity:

Operating Unit:
- AR, OM, AP, PO etc

Inventory Oranziation:
- INV, MFG Ship

Naming Considerations:
------------------------

Mutlti-Org Access Control (MOAC):
------------------------------------------
User Access to Multiple operating units is called Multi-Org Access Control.
Multi-Org Access Control enables companies that have implemented a shared services operating model to efficiently process business transactions by allowing them to access, process, and report on data for an unlimited number of operating units within a single applications responsibility. This increases the productivity of shared service centers, as users no longer have to switch responsibilities when processing transactions for multiple operating units at a time. Data security and access privileges are still maintained using security profiles that now support a list of operating units.

•Access one or more operating units using single responsibility.
•Enhanced reporting capability using:
–Reporting level parameter
–Reporting context

Benefits:
----------
Using MOAC, a user can perform tasks for multiple operating units (OU) without changing their responsibilities.

Tasks users can perform using MOAC in multiple OUs:
•Enter Payables Invoices
•View Consolidated Requisitions
•Perform Collections
•Process Receiving and Drop Shipments
•Customer Data Management
•Accounting Setup

MOAC Setups and Process:
-----------------------------
Setup:
1. Define Operating Unit
2. Create Security Profile
3. Run Security List Maintenance
4. Setup Profile Options.

Process:
1. Login and select a responsibility
2. Launch a Form
3. Application Checks Users Access Privileges
4. Process data for Operating Unit.


Leveraging Multi-Org Access Control feature:

Accounting Setup Manager :
Create ledgers and operating units through the Accounting Setup Manager.

Payables:
Reduce processing time with the ability to enter invoices for multiple operating units without switching responsibilities. Reduce processing cost with the ability to pay invoices for multiple operating units in a single pay run.

Oracle Landed Cost Managment:
=========================
Oracle’s Landed Cost Management application is a new product released on EBS R.12.1.Landed Cost Management enables organizations to gain insight into all of the “real”costs associated with acquiring products including broker, terminal, insurance, and transportation fees as well as duties and taxes. These costs are initially estimated andupdated with actual amounts as they become known allocating them to shipments,orders, and products. Cost methods and inventory valuations are accurately maintained providing better visibility into an individual product’s profitability and an organization’soutstanding exposure. This data provides better insight for product forecasting andbudgeting and provides clear evidence of the detailed accumulation of expenses for regulatory requirements and reporting. Oracle Landed Cost Management (LCM) gives organizations financial visibility into their extended supply chain costs, including transportation and handling fees, insurance, duties, and taxes. Since these types of charges can compose a significant portion (upwards of 40%) of an items' cost, it is important to accurately incorporate them into overall financial processes and decision making activities. Oracle LCM initially estimates these costs and later updates them with actual amounts as they become known, allocating them to shipments, orders, and products. This allows companies to maximize profits, improve visibility into outstanding liabilities, enhance competitiveness, and ensure that complex trade activities are compliant with regulatory mandates

Oracle Site Hub:
=============
Oracle Site Hub is a location mastering solution that enables organizations to centralize site and location specific information from heterogeneous systems, creating a single view of site information that can be leveraged across all functional departments and analytical systems. Oracle Site Hub helps organizations eliminate the problem of distributed, fragmented, incomplete and inconsistent site data resulting from isolated silos of data, lack of centralized data repository, rapid business expansion or mergers and acquisitions. Oracle Site Hub is an enterprise site lifecycle management solution that enablescustomers to consolidate all site-specific information from heterogeneous systems,creating a single source of truth of site information that can be leveraged across allfunctional departments. Oracle Site Hub leverages web services and integration withother Oracle E-Business Suite applications to provide a holistic data hub for site data.



Oracle Site Hub delivers:
--------------------------
1.A prebuilt extensible data model for mastering site information both internal and external such as competitor, supplier, customer sites

Key Business Flows :
---------------------
Oracle business flows are a collection of application components
designed for end-to-end business processes. They identify the
critical business processes an organization utilizes to support a
complete business strategy for managing operations, customers,
suppliers, partners, and employees.


Oracle business flows map business processes across multiple
organizations and many applications to represent a streamlined,
efficiently integrated information flow throughout business
organizations and across geographies.

R12 Architecture:
----------------------
Business Architecture: The R12 EBS has 5 principles that drives its business architecture:
-Modern Foundation
-Complete
-End to end Intergration
-Global
-Rapid Implementation.

1. Oracle has embedded all of its new R12 development into open,
scalable standards. These standards include using Java/J2EE,
HTML, JavaScript (JSP), Internet-accessibility, and centralized
management.

2. R12 E-Business Suite is accessible via global networks. It
accommodates multiple languages and currencies; supports
international features, such as flexible date formats and multiple
radix support; supports data in the Unicode Character Set (UTF-8)
and has accounting and business localizations built into it.

Technical Architecture:
PHP (Personal Home Page) or Portal becomes the gateway through
which the user has rights to access all the information to which they
have been granted access. Thus, R12 administrative tasks are
simplified while operations costs are reduced.

- Form based: Forms-based users are typically people involved
in the transactional operations of an organization.
- HTML/JSP's (Self Service): Self-service users are infrequent
users who want their interface with R12 to be as simple and as quick
as possible.
- Business Intelligence: Business intelligence users are senior
executives and managers who want an easy-to-use interface that
can be used to reveal critical business information and reports.
- Mobile: users whose jobs are likely to keep them away from a
readily available, network-connected computer. example : sales
representatives, field representative. By utilizing the mobile
interface, they are able to send and receive information at points
where it is important and convenient for them.
