You must define at least one organization to use Receivables. If other Oracle Manufacturing Applications that use organizations are installed, you should set up your organizations from within these products and use their product-specific documentation. If you have both Oracle Order Entry and Receivables installed, you can set up your organizations from either application.

After you define your organizations, you must specify an organization for the profile option OE: Item Validation Organization. This profile option indicates the organization that Receivables uses to validate items. If you have both Oracle Order Entry and Receivables installed, you can set your OE: Item Validation Organization profile option from either application.

The information in the Organization window is shared by all Oracle applications that you install. Consequently, you can query all the organizations set up within other products. If you can query other organizations, you do not have to set up an Organization specific to Receivables.

You can disable an organization classification by unchecking the Enabled check box next to that classification, and then saving your work.

Prerequisites

   Define your set of books

   Define your organization types using the ORG_TYPE QuickCode

   Define your job key flexfield structures, segments, and segment values

   To define an organization:

1. Navigate to the Organization window.

2. Enter a unique Name for this organization.

3. Enter a range of Dates for this organization (optional). The default start date is today's date, but you can change it. If you do not enter an end date, this organization will be valid indefinitely.

Note: The Location, Internal or External, Location Address, and Informal Address fields are not applicable to Receivables, so you can ignore them.

4. Save your work.

5. Enter the Organization Classifications Name for this organization.

6. To enable this organization classification, check the Enabled check box.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each of your organization classifications, then save your work.

8. To enter additional organization classification information, choose Others.

Note: For an organization with an 'Inventory Organization' classification, you must first define your accounting and then your inventory information before you can enter additional information.

9. Select 'Accounting Information' to enter set of books information.

Select 'Inventory Information' to enter inventory set up options.

Select 'Receiving Information' to enter receiving set up options (this option is not applicable for an 'Inventory Organization' classification).

10. If you chose 'Accounting Information,' enter a set of books identifier. A set of books describes a group of accounts that share a common general ledger account structure, calendar, and functional currency. See: Defining Sets of Books.

If you chose 'Inventory information,' enter a unique Organization Code.

11. Save your work.
