Define Business Units in Oracle Fusion for Procurement

      Business units are used by a number of Oracle Fusion Applications to implement data security. You assign 

data roles to your users to give them access to data in business units and permit them to perform specific functions on
this data. When a business function is enabled for a business unit, the application can trigger the creation of data roles
for this business unit base on the business function's related job roles.

The Oracle Fusion Applications business unit model:
Allows for flexible implementation
Provides a consistent entity for controlling and reporting on transactions
Anchors the sharing of sets of reference data across applications

Creating Business Units in the Enterprise Structures Configurator
     Business units are used within Oracle Fusion applications for management reporting, processing of
transactions, and security of transactional data. Using the Enterprise Structures Configurator (ESC), you create
business units for your enterprise either automatically or manually.

Assign Business Unit Business Function
     A business unit can perform many business functions in Oracle Fusion Applications. Prior to Oracle Fusion
Applications, operating units in Oracle E-Business Suite were assumed to perform all business functions, while in Oracle
PeopleSoft , each business unit had one specific business function. Oracle Fusion Applications blends these two models
and allows defining business units with one or many business functions.

     A business function represents a business process, or an activity that can be performed by people working within a
business unit and describes how a business unit is used. The following business functions setup for the procurement in
Oracle Fusion applications:
Materials management
Payables invoicing
Payables payments
Procurement
Procurement contract management
Receiving
Requisitioning
