MO: Security Profile– Always evaluated first.

MO operating unit profile option in oracle apps

MO: Operating Unit– Secondary priority being evaluated after ‘MO: Security Profile’

MO: Default Operating Unit– Sets the default Operating Unit for transactions when running under a Security Profile.

We first create a Security Profile and assigns as many operating units as you required. One can tie that security profile to a single responsibility using a profile option called MO: Security Profile.

For example, you could assign the security profile to the Payables responsibility to allow that responsibility to process invoices across all operating units.

In Release 12, define a security profile in HR using the Security profile form or the Global Security profile form, and assign all of the operating units that one would want a responsibility to access. The one needs to run a concurrent request called “Run Security List Maintenance” from HR which will make those security profile available and allow one to assign them to a responsibility via a profile option called MO: Security Profile.

One can define another profile option called MO: Default Operating Unit which is optional and allows one to specify a default operating unit that will be the default when you open different sub ledger application forms.
