Set Default Cost Organization Context

You can set the default cost organization context for Cost Accounting landing page and other relevant pages in Cost Accounting and Cost Planning.

When you open the Cost Accounting landing page, the default cost organization is derived based on the value you configured for the ORA_CST_DEFAULT_COST_ORG profile option.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for and select the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for and select the ORA_CST_DEFAULT_COST_ORG profile option code.

3. Configure the cost organization at one or both levels:

   • User: Specifies the default cost organization for an individual user.

   • Site: Specifies the default cost organization for users who don't have a valid user-level value.

4. Select Save and Close.

When both values are configured, the valid user-level value takes precedence over the site-level value.

The default cost organization or the cost organization selected on the landing page is carried forward to the Cost Accounting and Cost Planning pages opened through quick actions. Where applicable, the application also derives related values such as business unit, ledger, primary cost book, and period from the selected cost organization. The default cost organization is also applied as filter on the relevant pages
