R12: Bank Account Model

Oracle-R-12 MOAC-Concept: Multi-Org or multiple organization access Control (MOAC) is basically the ability to access multiple operating units from a single application responsibility. In Release 11i, when one had to enter or process data for multiple operating units, one had to login to different responsibilities because each responsibility could only access one operating unit. In Release 12, one would create a Security Profile and assign as many operating units as you required. One can tie that security profile to a single responsibility. In R12

The Set of Books evolved into Ledgers and Ledger Sets. The philosophy of Multiple Organization Access Control (MOAC) introduced in R12, ensured that the same user could perform multiple tasks across operating units without changing responsibilities. The use of Security Profiles was extended beyond HR to make MOAC possible. In 11i

In 11i, a user working with a specific responsibility, under a given operating unit, would need to switch responsibilities, if he/she were to access a sales order that was created from a different operating unit. For this to happen, the user had to be assigned a second responsibility that was linked to the second operating unit.
Security

The Multi Org Access Control (MOAC) feature in R12 retains the data security aspect between organizations and users. However, it also brings with it a certain degree of user friendliness in navigating between different operating units.
