Oracle Human Resources includes a predefined organization named Setup Business Group. We recommend that you modify the definition of this predefined business group rather than defining a new one. If you define a new business group instead of modifying the predefined Setup Business Group, you need to set the HR: Security Profile profile option to point the security profile for the new business group. Oracle Human Resources automatically creates a security profile with the business group name when you define a new business group. Oracle Human Resources incorporates all other organizations you specify into the business group you define. See: Setting Up Security in Oracle HRMS

You use the Organization window to retrieve the predefined Setup Business Group and change its name to the name of your business group to create your business group. The business group you define here appears in the list of values when you set up the HR: Security Profile profile option.

A business group is a special classification of an organization, so you also need to specify its organization type, location, and whether it is an internal or external organization. It is also essential to select the correct legislation code for a business group for correct functioning of Oracle Human Resources. You cannot change the legislation code after entering employees in a business group. See also: Entering Business Group Information

Attention: Employees, organizations, and other entities are partitioned by business group. If you set up more than one business group, your data will be partitioned accordingly. In addition, classifying an organization as a business group is not reversible. Be sure to plan your business group setup carefully. For more information, refer to the Oracle Human Resources User's Guide.

You must also specify required business group information. Note that even though you must fill in a value for every segment in the Business Group Flexfield, Oracle Projects uses only the following information:

• Short name

• Employee Number Generation

• Job Flexfield Structure

• Project Burdening Organization Hierarchy

For each Business Group, you specify a Project Burdening Organization Hierarchy and Version. Oracle Projects uses the Organization Hierarchy/Version to determine the default Burden Multiplier when compiling a Burden Schedule. See: Burden Schedules

You must define the Organization Hierarchy before you associate it with a Business Group (see: Organization Hierarchy).
