Configure Basic Enterprise Structure for Procurement
Use the Configure Basic Enterprise Structure for Procurement scheduled process to defines basic enterprise structures for Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement, which includes a procurement business unit, requisitioning business units, an item organization, inventory organizations, and units of measure.
When to Use
This process is intended to run only once manually, during Oracle Procurement implementation, to set up the procurement business unit (BU), requisitioning BU, and associated structures.
Use this process to create a centralized procurement system for indirect, expense-type purchasing.
When you submit the process, these enterprise structure setup tasks are configured automatically, based on existing enterprise structures set up for the organization:
- Creates a new business unit with the procurement business function and configures it as a service provider for all other business units in the organization.
- Configures each business unit with the requisitioning business function.
- Creates an item organization, which is the master inventory organization.
- Creates one inventory organization for each of the other business units.
- Configures the inventory organization parameters and receiving parameters for each inventory organization created.
- Creates a workday shift, pattern, and schedule.
- For the procurement business unit, creates a common content zone and catalog. Provides users in all requisitioning business units access to all agreements and master items while creating requisitions.
- Creates most used units of measure and their standard conversions.
