About Measure Types

Before you add operational measures for a joint venture in Oracle Joint Venture Management, you must set up a measure type for each type of operational measure that you want to add.

The measure type identifies the unit of measure for operational measures recorded with the measure type. It also gives you the option to require the following details in each operational measure:

• The primary segment value that the operational measure pertains to.

  You can require this if you want operational measures to be stored in relation to the transactions for a particular entity in a joint venture.

  If you don't require a primary segment value for operational measures, all operational measures will be stored at the joint venture level.

• A reference to a operational measure, such as an equipment number, flight type, supplier name, and so forth.
