Business Group
This is an Organization that represents the consolidated enterprise, a major division, or
an operation company and has no accounting impact. The Business Group partitions
Human Resources information and the Purchasing Approval Hierarchy. If you request a
list of employees (in any module) you will see only those employees in the Business
Group of which your Operating Unit is a part. Multiple Legal Entities can relate to a
single Business Group. You must have at least one Business Group.

Set of Books
A set of books (SOB) is a financial reporting entity that shares the three Cs: a particular
chart of accounts (accounting flexfield structure), functional currency, and financial
accounting calendar. General Ledger secures transaction information (journal entries,
balances) by set of books. When you use General Ledger, you choose a responsibility
that specifies a set of books. You then see information only for that set of books.
You create sets of books using the Set of Books window in General Ledger. You define
all other types of organizations using the Organizations window.
Legal Entity
A legal entity represents a legal company for which you prepare fiscal or tax reports.
You assign tax identifiers and other legal entity information to these types of
organizations. Future enhancements will include greater functionality at this
organization level.

Operating Unit
An operating unit represents an organization that uses any Oracle subledger application,
for example, Order Management, Payables. It may be a sales office, a division, or a
department. An operating unit is associated with a legal entity. Information is secured
by operating unit for these applications. Each user sees information only for their
operating unit.
