Oracle Inventory, you must define one or more inventory organizations. Inventory
organizations represent distinct entities in your enterprise and can be one of the following:
A physical entity such as a manufacturing facility, warehouse, or distribution center.
A logical entity such as an item master organization, which you use to define items.
An inventory organization may have the following attributes:
An inventory organization can have its own location, ledger, costing method, workday
calendar, and items.
An inventory organization can share one or more of these characteristics with otherorganizations.

Inventory Organization Structure
Inventory Organization Structure
An inventory organization, where you store and transact items can have one or more
subinventories. Subinventories are unique physical or logical separations of material inventory,
such as raw material inventory, finished goods inventory, or defective goods inventory. In
Oracle Inventory, all material within an organization is held in a subinventory. You mustdefine at least one subinventory for every organization. You can track item quantities by
subinventory as well as restrict items to specific subinventories.
The subinventories in an inventory organization may be made up of one or more locators. Youuse locators to identify physical areas where you store inventory items. You can track items by
locator and restrict items to a specific locator. Locator control is optional in Oracle Inventory.

Multi-Organization Structure
Multi-Organization Structure
Multi-Organization structure enables you to model multiple business units in an enterprise
using a single installation of Oracle applications. In a multi-organization architecture you can
keep data secure and separate from each business unit.
The following are the benefits of multi-organization structure:
You can use a single installation of any Oracle Applications product to support any
number of business units, even if those business units use a different ledger.
Secure access to data so users can access only relevant information.
You can define a organizational model that best suits your business requirements.
In Inventory, you can fulfill any Sales Order or Purchase Order regardless of them beingbooked from any Inventory organization. You can also determine if any inter-company
invoicing needs to occur based on if the Sales Order or Purchase Order was booked in a
different Operating Unit other than the one to which the Inventory organization isassigned.
