Set Up Data Security for Oracle Joint Venture Management

You must use data security to associate business units to joint venture users and their roles. This setup enables users to perform the following tasks:

• As part of the setup of a joint venture, associate a business unit to the joint venture definition. This task is performed by a joint venture accountant or joint venture application administrator.

  The user can only view and select a business unit for the joint venture if the business unit has been assigned to the user and their role through data security.

• View and manage joint venture transactions, distributions, and invoices in Joint Venture Management. A joint venture accountant can manage this data; a joint venture accounting manager has view only access to this data.

  Users can view or work with records for joint ventures that are associated with business units they're authorized to manage through data security.

• Run the Joint Venture Management process to create invoices in Receivables for joint ventures. This task is performed by a joint venture accountant.

  The user can only create Receivables invoices for joint ventures if the business unit associated with the joint ventures has been assigned to the user and their role through data security.
