During implementation, set a value for each Oracle Public Sector Financials (International) profile option to specify how Oracle Public Sector Financials (International) controls access to and processes data.
You may also have additional user profile options on your system that are specific to other applications. Generally, your system administrator sets and updates profile values.
You can govern the behavior of many of your forms using user profile options. Profile options can be set at the following levels:
Site: This is the lowest profile level. Site level profile option values affect the way all applications run at a given site.
Application: These profile option values affect the way a given application runs.
Responsibility: These profile option values affect the way applications run for all users of a given responsibility.
User: These profile option values affect the way applications run for a specific application user. The values you enter for options at the User level supersede the values that your system administrator has entered for you for these options.
The values that you enter for these options at the user level supersede the preset values that your system administrator has entered for you for these options.

Before using the ledgers for transaction processing, you must assign a data access set to a General Ledger responsibility using the profile option, GL: Data Access Set. Data access sets control which ledgers can be accessed by different responsibilities. Data access sets also limit a user from accessing certain balancing segment values or management segment values or grant read–only or read and write access to data in a ledger. If you are using Oracle Subledgers, the data access set should include the ledger that is assigned to the GL Ledger Name profile option that controls ledgers used by subledger applications.
See:
GL Profile Options, Oracle General Ledger Reference Guide.
Data Access Sets, Oracle General Ledger Implementation Guide.
If you use multiple organizations access control feature, you can assign operating units to responsibilities by using the following profile options:
MO: Default Operating Unit: Use this profile option to specify a default operating unit that defaults in your transaction entry pages from the list of operating units assigned to your application responsibility through the MO: Security Profile.
Note: If the MO: Operating Unit is set or you are assigned only one operating unit in the MO: Security Profile profile option, then the single operating unit becomes your default operating unit.
For operating unit dependent features, the access to the operating unit access depends on whether the feature is enabled for the operating unit(s) in the MO: Security Profile profile option.
MO: Operating Unit: Assign this profile option to an application responsibility to provide a user with this responsibility access to one operating unit.
MO: Security Profile: Assign this profile option to an application responsibility to provide a user with this responsibility access to multiple operating units.
Note: Public Sector Financials (International) does not own the Multiple Organizations profile options.
See: Setting Up a Multiple Organization Enterprise, Oracle E-Business Suite Multiple Organizations Implementation Guide.
The profile option FA: Enable Depreciation Override must be set to No for the Modified Historic Cost Accounting feature. Depreciation Override functionality is not compatible with MHCA.
Unbalanced Journal Totals Checking profile option defines batch control total criteria for entering transactions in unbalanced budget journals.
Select Credit so that users enter the sum of all credit amounts as a control total for the batch. When the batch is complete, the system verifies the control total equals credits entered.
Select Debit so that users enter the sum of all debit amounts as a control total for the batch. When the batch is complete, the system verifies the control total equals debits entered.
Select Hash Total so that users enter the sum of combined debit and credit amounts as a control total for the batch. When the batch is complete, the system verifies the control total equals debits and credits entered.
Controls how a user can enter unbalanced budget amounts in budget journals and how the system displays the year-to-date figures for non-balanced enforced accounting flex fields. Yes displays year-to-date figures as average of the periods. No displays year-to-date in standard Oracle General Ledger way.
Enables budget transactions to be posted in prior periods, where prior periods are periods older than the oldest open period. Yes enables users to amend budgets held in prior periods.

The gateway test is identified by the GatewayTest element in the GovTalkHeader structure of the XML request. This profile option is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
This profile option stores the CIS gross withholding tax group. The verification response from Inland Revenue contains the tax treatment status (Net, Gross, Unmatched) for each successfully matched or verified subcontractor. If the tax treatment is Gross, then the verification program retrieves the withholding tax group assigned to this profile option and updates the vendor and vendor sites with the gross withholding tax group.
This profile option stores the certificate password and is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
See: Define Keystore for more information.
This profile option stores the keystore password and is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
See: Define Keystore for more information.
This profile option stores the name and path of the keystore and is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.

This profile option stores the CIS net withholding tax group. If the tax treatment is Net, then the verification program retrieves the withholding tax group assigned to this profile option and updates the vendor and vendor sites with the net withholding tax group.
This profile option stores the number of times the verification or the monthly returns request polls the Govtalk Gateway before the request terminates. To set the interval between polling, the PollInterval attribute on the ResponseEndPoint element must be set to a positive numeric value. This attribute indicates the numbers of seconds the client application waits before polling again. For example, if the Poll Interval attribute is set to five and the IGI: CIS Poll Limit is set to 20, then the polling process occurs every five seconds for 20 attempts before terminating in an error. This profile option is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
This profile option stores the proxy server information that the contractor uses for secure internet communications. The proxy server address must be similar to http://<proxy server>:<port> for this profile option. This profile option is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
This profile option stores the password of the XML sender ID. The password is provided to the contractor when registering with HMRC. Any XML request or file sent to Inland Revenue must contain the GovTalkHeader as per the latest protocol. The sender password is identified by the Value element in the GovTalkheader structure of the XML request. The Government and Gateway Submission protocol validates the sender password. This profile option is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
Sets the value for the Sender Type element in the Verification and Monthly Returns XML request. Any XML request or file sent to Inland Revenue must contain the Sender element in the XML body, which the Government and Gateway Submission protocol validates. This profile option is only required if the contractor communicates with Inland Revenue electronically.
This profile option enables using XML requests for submitting the Monthly Returns instead of manually submitting the Monthly Returns.
This profile option stores the CIS unmatched withholding tax group. If the tax treatment is Unmatched, the verification program retrieves the withholding tax group assigned to this profile option and updates the vendor and vendor sites with the unmatched withholding tax group.
