Change the Business Unit on the Joint Venture

You can change the business unit even if you've already identified distributable accounts. However, the new business unit must be associated with the same chart of accounts (COA) as the former business unit.

When you select a business unit for a joint venture, the COA and segments (including the primary segment) for the business unit are automatically identified by the joint venture. Oracle Joint Venture Management prevents you from changing the business unit if the new business unit isn't associated with the same COA instance.

Note: If the joint venture has an overhead method associated with it, you need to check if the overhead method is defined with a segment, segment value, or a partner offset account. If it is, the new business unit for the joint venture must use the same COA with the values specified in the overhead method.
