Define Organizations

Required

Before you use Oracle Inventory, you need to define one or more organizations. Organizations describe distinct entities in your company and may include separate manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, and branch offices. Since Oracle Inventory allows you to implement multiple ledgers with multiple organizations, you need to specify the ledger to which your organization is tied.

Caution: In a multi-organization install, when you are defining inventory organizations you MUST specify the Operating Unit even though the field is not required.

After you have set up Oracle Inventory, you must specify an organization whenever you access Oracle Inventory; all subsequent activity uses this organization as your current organization. You may change your current organization at any time with the Change Organization window.
