Manage Your Reference Data Set

When you use Oracle Fusion applications, you can share configuration data like payment terms, list of values such as transaction sources that you map to fee types, and so on.

To share data, you use the reference data sharing feature. This is also called SetID. Reference data is associated with transactional objects like payment terms. This data is organized into sets. Depending on your business requirements, reference data sets enable you to associate transactional data to different business units and multiple ledgers.

After creating implementation users and activating the Financials offering, create a reference data set. This set will be used to assign the reference data you use in transactions to sets. For example, you can assign separate sets for payment terms, transaction types, and fee types to your business units.

A data set called Common Set already exists in the application. You can use Common Set for reference data that you want to share across business units.

Note: You can modify your reference data sets, but be careful when you do so. Changes to a particular set affect your business unit or application components that use the set.
