Single function in a responsibility

If a single function is attached to a inventory organization sensitive function such as subinventory transfer (in Inventory), please beware that the function would open in a wrong inventory organization. This might result in user entering transactions in wrong inventory organization.

For example, User "A" is attached to 3 Inventory responsibilities - "INV User X", "INV User Y" and "INV User Z".

Suppose each of these 3 responsibilities has only 'active' function attached

In the above scenario, you would note that form/function opens in a wrong inventory organization

Sharing Costs across Organizations

Costs of items can be shared across organizations using standard costing. This is a unique feature of Standard Costing method.

If standard costs are shared across multiple organizations, costs are maintained by the cost master organization and shared by the child cost organizations. Costs cannot be entered into the child cost organizations. All reports, inquiries, and processes use the shared costs.

Oracle Cost Management - What is Cost Rollup?

Cost Rollup is a process by which the costs of assemblies are built, starting with the lowest level and working up the structure to top-level assemblies. This process is specifically called a ‘full cost rollup’. This method gives the most current bill of material structure and component costs.

There is another way of rolling up Costs, which is the single–level rollup, which only looks at the first level of the bill structure for each assembly in the rollup and rolls the costs for the items at this level into the parent. This method does not reflect structure or cost changes that have occurred at a level below the first level of assemblies.
