Oracle Fusion Financials Enterprise Structure

Here are key components and aspects of Oracle Fusion Financials Enterprise Structure:

1. Legal Entities: Legal entities are the highest-level organizational units within Fusion Financials. They represent legally distinct entities or business units, often associated with different tax jurisdictions. Organizations can define multiple legal entities to manage their financial activities.

2. Business Units: Business units are sub-entities within legal entities. They represent distinct operational units or divisions within an organization, such as departments, subsidiaries, or product lines. Business units are used for financial reporting and transaction processing.

3. Ledgers: Ledgers are used to record financial transactions and maintain accounting records. Oracle Fusion Financials supports various types of ledgers, including primary ledgers, reporting ledgers, and secondary ledgers. Each ledger can have its own chart of accounts and accounting calendar.

4. Chart of Accounts: The chart of accounts defines the structure of accounts used for financial reporting and recording transactions. Organizations can customize their chart of accounts to align with their specific needs and reporting requirements.

5. Balancing Segments: Balancing segments are segments of the chart of accounts that are used to maintain financial balances. They are often associated with specific dimensions such as cost centers, departments, or projects. Balancing segments help ensure that accounting entries are balanced.

6. Accounting Calendars: Accounting calendars define the fiscal periods and accounting periods used for financial reporting and closing activities. Organizations can configure multiple calendars to support different reporting requirements.

7. Accounting Currencies: Accounting currencies represent the currencies in which financial transactions are recorded and reported. Fusion Financials allows organizations to define multiple accounting currencies to meet global reporting needs.

8. Reporting Currencies: Reporting currencies are additional currencies in which financial reports can be generated. They provide flexibility for reporting in different currencies while keeping the primary accounting records in the base currency.

9. Legal Reporting Units: Legal reporting units are used to define the level at which financial reports are generated for legal compliance and statutory reporting. They can be associated with specific legal entities or business units.

10. Intercompany Relationships: Fusion Financials Enterprise Structure allows organizations to define intercompany relationships between legal entities or business units. This is essential for managing intercompany transactions and reconciliations.
