Enterprises
An enterprise is a collection of legal entities under your common control and management.
When you're implementing Oracle Cloud Applications, you operate within the context of an enterprise that already exists. It would be:
-
A predefined enterprise
-
An enterprise created by a system administrator
An enterprise organization captures the name of the deploying enterprise and the location of its headquarters. In Oracle Cloud Applications, you define an organization classified as an enterprise before you define any other organizations in the HCM Common Organization Model. All other organizations belong to the enterprise.
The Enterprise classification represents the top structure in the organization that supports partitioning requirements for Oracle Cloud applications. Each employee you define exists within the context of an enterprise. If you want to associate a person with multiple enterprises, that person must have multiple person records.
Since there is no concept of legislation at the enterprise level, no US-specific attributes are stored at this level. All US-specific attributes are stored in subordinate structures, such as the legal entity.
