Business Group:
Business group is the highest level in the Organization
Structure and is used for managing human resource
information. It can be setup to represent a consolidated
Enterprise or an Operating Company. There is no impact of
Business group on Accounting.
Ledger:
Ledger is a financial reporting entity, which represents the
core of a Company’s financial records where every
transaction flows through. It provides balanced ledger
accounting for the accounting entity and serves as a
repository of financial information.
Legal Entity:
Legal Entity represents a legal company for which Fiscal
and Tax reports are prepared. A Legal Entity can Model to
an Enterprise, a Designated Legal unit which is recognized
by legal authorities in a country. Legal entity is a business
entity that is known to exist to the outside world.
Operating Unit:
An operating Unit represents a business unit in an
Enterprise which has a business need to secure transaction
data, Setups and Seed data. It can be a major division,
sales office, a department, or a separate company within an
enterprise.

10. Inventory Enterprise Structure
– Creating organization structures in inventory
– Defining a unit of measure
– Creating a workday calendar

11. Unit of Measure
Defining a unit of measure
– A unit of measure (UOM) is a term that is used, with a numeric value, to
specify the quantity of an item. For example, “each” is a unit of measure
that you would use to specify the number of units of an item.
Defining a unit of measure class
– A unit of measure class is a group of units of measure with similar
characteristics. For example, “weight” can be a unit of measure class with
units of measure such as kilogram, gram, pound, and ounce.
Defining a unit of measure conversion
– A unit of measure conversion is a mathematical relationship between two
different units of measure. For example, 16 ounces = 1 pound, or 2.2
pounds = 1 kilogram.

12. Organization Calendar
– If you perform inventory forecasting, reorder-point planning, available-to-
promise analysis, or cycle counting, you must define your workday
calendar.
– Oracle Inventory automatically generates a workday pattern (the base
calendar) that includes all days, including non-workdays, between the start
and end dates you specify.
– You can assign workday exceptions to the base calendar to denote
holidays, scheduled maintenance, or overtime.

13. Creating and Maintaining Items
– Defining item statuses and attributes
– Defining items
– Defining categories and category sets

14. Status Attributes
Master-Level Control
An attribute that you maintain at the master level has identical values for an item
in all organizations that use it.
Organization-Level Control
An attribute that you maintain at the organization level may have different
values for an item in each organization that uses it.

15. Defining Items
An item is a part or service that you purchase, sell, plan, manufacture, stock,
distribute, or prototype. The following Oracle Applications use items:
Items
Lead Time
Attributes
Inventory
