Overview and Purpose

The HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS table acts as a central repository for organizational entities within Oracle HRMS (Human Resource Management System). It supports multi-org functionality, allowing organizations to define and manage hierarchical relationships across business units, legal entities, and operating units. This table is integral to workflows involving employee assignments, reporting structures, and security profiles.

Key Columns and Descriptions

The table comprises several critical columns, each serving a specific purpose in organizational management:
  • ORGANIZATION_ID: Primary key uniquely identifying each organizational unit.
  • NAME: Descriptive name of the organization (e.g., "Finance Department").
  • TYPE: Classifies the organization type (e.g., "DEPARTMENT," "BUSINESS GROUP," "LEGAL ENTITY").
  • DATE_FROM and DATE_TO: Define the active date range for the organization.
  • INTERNAL_EXTERNAL_FLAG: Distinguishes between internal (company-owned) and external (third-party) organizations.

  • Flexfields: Descriptive flexfields enable customization to meet industry-specific requirements.

Usage in Business Processes

Organizations leverage this table for:

Conclusion

The HR_ALL_ORGANIZATION_UNITS table is a cornerstone of Oracle EBS HRMS, providing the structural framework for organizational modeling.
