Configuration notes for Oracle E-Business Suite version
In Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, the responsibilities are based on MO : Operating Unit.
In Oracle E-Business Suite R12, they are based on a composite of MO : Operating Unit and MO : Security Profile.
To make use of MO : Security Profile’ in R12 must create a Security Profile and associate all desired Organizational Units with that Security Profile.
Associate the named Security Profile you create with MO : Security Profile system value at responsibility level, and the Run the Request.
Accounting using GL Security Rules
When GL Security Rules are enabled, account coders must select a responsibility before submitting an invoice for approval. The responsibility is selected in the Task Details window main menu. The option is only available when GL Security Rules are enabled.
The responsibilities available in the selection list are those assigned to the task owner, not the user currently logged in. If you are handling invoices for other users as administrator or via shared worklist, you can still only select responsibilities for the user that the task is assigned to. The responsibilities are those assigned to the task owner in the configured application.
The available choices are also filtered by the organizations that the task owner is associated with, and also depend on the setting og Security Rules Application.
If a responsibility is required during accounting, and not responsibility for the current task owner is found, they can select <empty> from the drop down list to use the default responsibility for running accounts payable import.
If the account coder does not select the correct AP responsibility, an error message is shown when the account coder clicks Submit.
