What are Shared Entities?
Shared entities are not formally defined within any single product's user guide. While you implement multiple products, you will find that the same entity is referenced by multiple products.
Units of Measure
Owner: Inventory
Units of Measure are the way that we quantify items. They are grouped into units of measure with similar characteristics by Unit of Measure Classes such as quantity, weight, time and volume. The values defined in the Units of Measure window provide the list of values available in Unit of Measure fields in other applications windows.
Units of Measure are not inventory organization–specific
Items
Owner: Inventory
Items are parts that you buy or sell, or with which you transact.
You choose whether to have centralized or decentralized control of your items through a variety of item attributes (such as description, lead time, unit of measure, lot control, saleable versus purchasable, and so on).
Suppliers
Owner: Purchasing
Set up suppliers to record information about individuals and companies from whom you purchase goods and services. You can also enter employees whom you reimburse for expense reports. When you enter a supplier that conducts business from multiple locations, you store supplier information only once, and enter supplier sites for each location. You can designate supplier sites as pay sites, purchasing sites, RFQ only sites, or procurement card sites.
Employees
Owner: Human Resources
Human Resources establishes employees to track personnel information such as skills, benefits, jobs, and statuses. After the employees are defined in the system, they can also be used for approval activities, processing expense transaction,s and the assigning of fixed assets.
Locations
Owner: Human Resources
Locations have various usages assigned to them, such as:
Bill to (where suppliers send invoices)
Ship to (where suppliers send products)
Office (identifies a business address where employees are located)
Organizations
Owner: Human Resources
An organization may be a physical site or it can represent a collection of sites sharing certain characteristics. These characteristics are used to define business structures within the Oracle e-Business environment:
Legal Entity: The business units where fiscal or tax reports are prepared
Operating Unit: The level at which ERP transaction data is secured
Inventory Organization: A business unit such as a plant, warehouse, division, and so on
Expenditure/Event Organization: The unit that allows you to own events, incur expenditures, and hold budgets for projects
Shared entities are not formally defined within any single product's user guide. While you implement multiple products, you will find that the same entity is referenced by multiple products.
- Shared entities enable one-time definition of an object and the use of that object across several products.
- Shared entities are “owned” by a single product for table purposes only.
Application Object Library (AOL)
Currencies: This must be enabled in AOL if you are performing a multicurrency implementation.
Languages: Languages that you are planning to deploy must be enabled in AOL.
Users: AOL provides the functionality of user creation. A user must have a username and the username must be assigned one or more responsibilities.
Responsibilities: Users are assigned responsibilities. The responsibility provides access to a particular module in the eBusiness Suite.
Menus: Responsibilities have menus associated to them. The menus determine the functions available to a user as well as what actions the users can perform.
Ledgers provides Oracle with a means to collect and quantify financial data. There are four primary elements to a Ledger:
